"It would be great if you could bring some Lego cars in to show the kids how cars are built."
"ok, when?"
"How about in two days time?"
"Oh. Ok" - Yikes!!
I better get cracking then.
Temples of Talakad, Karnataka, India
The Group of temples at Talakad, located about 45 km south-east of the culturally important city of Mysore in the Karnataka state of India are ancient Hindu temples built by multiple South Indian dynasties. Archaeological excavations of the sand dunes at Talakad (or Talakadu) have shown the existence of several ruined temples built during the rule of the Western Ganga dynasty (c.345-999). However, according to historian I. K. Sarma, only two temples, the Pataleshvara (also spelt Patalesvara) and Maraleshvara (also spelt Maralesvara), built during the reign of King Rachamalla Satyavakya IV (r.975-986) are intact. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Vaidyeshvara temple (also spelt Vaidyesvara), the largest, the most intact and ornate of the group bears Ganga-Chola-Hoysala architectural features. Its consecration is assignable to the 10th century with improvements made up to the 14th century. According to the art historian Adam Hardy, the Kirtinarayana temple (also spelt Keertinarayana) was built in 1117 A.D. by the famous Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana to celebrate his victory over the Cholas in the battle of Talakad. It has currently been dismantled by the ASI for renovation. Only its mahadwara ("grand entrance") is intact. The Sand dunes of Talakad are protected by the Karnataka state division of the ASI. The Vaidyeshvara and Kirtinarayana temples are protected as monuments of national importance by the central Archaeological Survey of India.

They both did great jobs at showing the extreme opposites of the fairy spectrum.
IMHO, my money would be on the pink/purple fairy. They can be vicious. ;-)
In a city that prides itself on stunning coffee, this convenience store coffee is almost a sin to drink.

Funny, I didn't even see the bird at first, I was so caught up in the reflection.
I am fairly sure the bird is is a tern.
Update of today's work. Happy with the way it's turning out, but thought I'd be finished already! I guess that's the way most prjects go- always take longer than expected. Work the next two days, so this project is now on hold.
A close up of two of the wood sculptures of Ron Cowan that were on display at the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity Maine. I provided additional detail in a photo I put on Flickr a few days ago. This and one more show some of the detail.
These are two buses I drew from memory. The one above is a Thomas bus, fitted with parts from a Leyland National bus. The one below is an old police bus, which is now a private excursion bus.

So the main lake here is the same as in the other pictures, but you can also see another lake in the distance.
At this point we were heading back to the trailhead.
Two raspberries waiting to be eaten. I think I actually ate those.

I followed him as long as I could but he finally went faster than I could! The young buck was a surprise to me as well!
This is a vocal effect microphone that I did by commission for my friend DJ Drty Tech.
The enclosure is an old two-way radio (hence the name).
It includes a pitch transposer, echo/delay, and "robot" (a pseudo ring-modulator).

Two-tailed Pasha (Charaxes jasius), in Greece.
There is 1 place left on the forthcoming tour of Rhodes, Greece. See link for details or contact me...
www.greenwings.co/page/greek-island-odyssey--rhodes--gree...
The island of Rhodes is blessed with more days of sunshine (300 or more) than almost anywhere else in Europe, so its name ‘The Isle of the sun’ is well justified.
The tour will encompass the diverse flora and fauna, culture, cuisine and history of Rhodes. We will stay right in the heart of the medieval old town (a World Heritage Site), in a charming and traditional Greek family hotel.
From our base we will venture out in a comfortable mini-bus to explore the island. There will be chances to see and photograph lots of flora and fauna, including Lesser Fiery Copper, Bee-eater, Golden Oriole, Scarce and European Swallowtail, Oertzen’s Rock Lizard, Rhode’s Dragon, Aegean Meadow Brown, Long-tailed Blue, Large Wall Brown, Dragon Arum, King Ferdinand’s Orchid, the rare and beautiful endemic Rhodes Peony and Fritillary and much more!
The adventure will start on Thursday 26th April and journey’s end will be reached on Thursday 3rd May.
10% of profits will be donated to Butterfly Conservation.
Two Rivers.
The river, personified in stone, adorns the city’s heart,
keeping company with the Rusted Man
and Queen Victoria:
A beautiful carving, but unreal, divorced from nature’s streams:
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
The true river rises in low hills to the south, in a muddy hollow
seeping from the earth, haunt of dragonfly and frog;
surrounded, in summer by willowherb and meadowsweet.
Downhill it trickles, sluggishly, through ditches and dykes,
becoming a little brook with grassy banks, marsh marigolds,
and over-hanging willows.
All too soon, the city’s edge is reached, and the infant river is throttled,
thwarted, aborted:
submerged in suburbia, constrained by concrete,
until eventually it is hidden altogether,
forced back underground, ignored, built over, forgotten.
In its place, we have invented a river,
gushing from the hands of the statue,
flowing prettily down regular steps,
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
In times of heavy rain the real river rises rapidly,
rushing furiously, swollen and brown, between the restricting banks.
Suddenly it overflows, flooding roads,
causing traffic chaos and damage to property,
making nonsense of history’s attempts to tame it,
mocking,
taunting, the artificial river in the city square,
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
