Greetings dear friends, I have missed you all so much. Thank you for your emails, they have brightened my gray days! I will try to catch up with everyone in the next few days! I hope everyone is well and feeling good! Love you all, hugs!
The damp eucalyptus bark looked great, the vibrant colours intensified by the afternoon light, however I thought it needed some post processing to make a more interesting photograph.... particularly to accentuate the luminosity and give it a porcelain quality..
i took this for my grandmother. i used to spend all day running around, taking pictures of flowers.
I'm not sure whether i like this, or the original better. I'll probably end up uploading both.

MUST BE VIEWED IN STEREO TO FULLY APPRECIATE!

TO SEE THIS IN 3D, there's a tutorial here:
I'd been looking at the patterns on these windows for some weeks while teaching an evening class. I finally got a chance to photograph them. (066)
Ariel has been fully deboxed, and is placed sitting on the rock stand. Her sequins making up her tail are iridescent, so it appears to be different colors (various shades of green, blue and purple) depending on the angle of the light and angle of viewing. That is similar to how the scales of an actual fish appear. This was an unexpected feature of her tail that makes me like it much more than I did from the stock photos, or even from viewing her in person in the display dolls before I bought her and deboxed her.
I got the Ariel and Ursula Doll Set on Tuesday October 20, 2015, at my local Disney Store's raffle. I was 17th of 18 called, so I'm very glad I was able to get her in store. There was about the same amount of people who were there for the Snow/Hag set, so about 10 people missed out today. My set is #4185 of 6000. I will show this set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I took the set I was given. I noticed that Ariel's eyelashes were not at the same angle between her two eyes, but it didn't bother me enough to ask for another set. There were no other noticeable defects in the set.
I have deboxed Ariel, and found to my surprise that the pile of rocks is totally separate from the display case, and is free standing. Ariel is supposed to free sit on the rock stand, and stay in position just by the friction of her sequined tail on the uneven surface of the top rock. It also helps if the floor of is rough (like a carpet) rather than the smooth surface that I was using for the photoshoot. Next, I was pleasantly surprised is that she has the old Designer Princess body, so rubber legs and swivel waist joint. As I expected, her hair is heavily gelled to keep her curls, but not as heavily as the 17'' LE Ariel from 2013. So only the bottom third of her curls are stiff. There were a couple of stray hairs stuck in her neck joint (ouch!) and some short hairs (like trimmings) that I had to remove from her face and chest. She is pretty, but not drop dead gorgeous as were the previous two Designer Ariel dolls (from 2011 and 2013). I also don't like her see through top. It has a rough surface, so her hairs kept on getting caught in it. Her sequined tail is pretty, but I really like her fins, which are wired to stiffen them.
I also compare Designer Ariel side by side with the OOAK Ariel made by a fellow collector, who used the 2014 Classic Ariel as the base.

The starting point for the requested semi-permanent living arrangement was the caravan. Normally this summer only in use and is the winter somewhere on a farm or in a garage. By this garage as to perform a translucent, weather and windproof second skin becomes possible under all circumstances to live. If the shell and the outer casing, also leaves room for terrace and roof terrace, there may be even new dimensions are added, such as sleeping at night on the roof under a clear sky or a strong thunderstorm.

Near the idea permanently eventually opted for a dry to assemble and disassemble shack-like building that can be. Placed loosely on cantilevered floor of the outer In order placement at any location, it is possible to make a total of as light as possible, and there is the foundation of hollow steel "floats". in poor basis it increases the number of floats. The motto is thus explained simultaneously. The outer shell is made up of a framework of steel scaffolding at which transparent corrugated plates are fitted. To counteract the greenhouse effect are large sliding doors included in the longitudinal walls, so be there. In warm and sunny weather well ventilated . The skin itself is weak ventilating performed. The concept follows the double envelope principle. The light metal construction and in sight to it, looks like the whole high-tech.
De Realiteit, Almere NL - On the south bank of the Noorderplassen in Almere is situated “De Realiteit” (The Reality). An unusual name for a street. Seventeen winning designs of the Second Competition of “De Fantasie” (The Fantasy) were built here in 1986. A year earlier the foundation organized "Fantasy" a design entitled "Temporary Housing". The prizes consisted of land, plots of approximately 20x20 m, where the winners, 17 could realize their ideas. By their nature offered the opportunity to contest the freest design, especially as the building codes did not have to be observed. Concepts such as removable, repositionable, limited life were central. The decommissioning of the building regulations meant that the awarded works were to be considered temporary. The participants knew in advance that the normal funding, namely the mortgage, was not available because of the transitory character. Nevertheless today (after 27 years) the houses are still present and inhabited and most are in good condition.

Honesty seed-pods. I think it's called honesty because it's transparent. People seem to be quite keen on this: it's just climbed to the top of my interestingness ladder, so thanks everyone!
It was a breezy day so I can't believe that this turned out so well - nature in close up is so beautiful and I sometimes don't think we appreciate just how much beauty there is right under our noses
