my phone sits on my desk all day at work, on vibrate mode. when it rings, it buzzes and skitters all over the place. so i have a pad of post-it notes devoted just to phone-setting, except that kind of bothers me. because i have to use the post-it notes too, and having two pads is dumb.
so i decided to knit something for my phone to sit on during the day, which will also provide me hours of cuteness. this was my solution. SUCCESS.
(it's also a cozy, and the bottom is open so i can plug my phone in.)
Cuatro días caminando por la montaña, siete horas por día; en temporada de lluvias significó que dos días caminaramos más de 5 horas bajo agua. El día final, en el que emprendimos camino hacia la Puerta del Sol, comenzó a llover y de veras el ánimo se me fue al piso. Cuando llegamos y salió el sol por detrás de las montañas, creo que todo valió la pena.
Summit shot - also useful from the documentary point of view - taken at sunrise on the top of Mount Rocciamelone (3.538 m), Susa Valley, Italy.
The month is July... but at these altitudes just "a brush" of snow can litterally submerge everything.
Above you can see the lightning rod, the statue of the B.V. Mary, then, below, the chapel, which is actually a Sanctuary, twinned with the other chapel situated at slightly higher altitude on the Monte Rosa, adjacent to the Cabane Giovanni Gnifetti.
Then, on the right of the construction, are visible the door and the window of the unmanaged refuge (I had to dig in the snow to open that door).

Useful landscaping stones to frame pathways, patios, decks, storefronts, planters, flowerbeds, and however else you find use for them!
Comes in dark, light or neutral tones. 4 LI per patch - these values will help you to get a much better LOD result than the previously released Landscaping Pebbles from Fourth Wall that were incredibly popular! 🙌 You can modify them & scale down for lower LI.
Hope you find great use for them!
Useful font for adding some authentic lego lettering to any project. A simple frame allows you to add one row of lettering at a time without the fear of total collapse that comes with most of my other lightsaber based MOCs. I built a spreadsheet to calculate how much space the lettering will take up but I'm still tweaking that. goo.gl/sbjtkF if you want to have a play around with it. Be warned though it's rather primitive and probably wrong at this stage!
teaching that personal hygene can be fun ( that's NOT gasoline in the plastic tank).

HMM… the them for today, 4/23 the day after earth day, is plastic. how smart to cause us think about how we use plastics and more importantly what we do when we’re done with them or how can we cut down the useage of the one-time use things that litter our oceans and our lands.
More photos of our local area: this is where our closest shops are, although these days most of our useful shops have gone (well before the pandemic) - butchers', bakers', chip shop, the usual local shops you'd expect to find. The building across the street that looks like a church has been converted into flats. It was a Methodist Church, opened in 1892 as a Bible Christian chapel and registered in August 1894, this was used for nearly a century: the last service was held on 26 August 1984 and the building was sold for residential use. The Priory Court flats were completed in 1986, but the red-brick exterior is little altered. The congregation from the nearby Brougham Road chapel joined in the 1940s, and the sale of that building contributed £2,800 to Fawcett Road's funds in 1953.
If you cross the road here, you get to the boys' secondary school - they had a very short, 5 minute walk to school!

...corkscrew and bottle opener, and looks happy about it.
Apologies if you were expecting more landscapes and travel stuff.
Might be useful where a 1 x 2 vent using the standard grille brick would turn out too big/out of proportion. And the shutters are see thru :-)
LDD says it's illegal, but it'll work in real bricks as the protruding upper edge of the SNOTted 1x2 grater will slide nicely into the space between outer wall and tubes of a covering plate or brick. Note that it'll require at least a 2x3 plate or brick to work that way, though.

I loved to make this photo. I needed something difficult enough to make myself feel challenged and doing this shot really was a challenge! I did the bodypaint all by myself, though I used a very useful tutorial I found on youtube. In particular I spent a lot of time doing the facial make-up in order to give my face a very doll-like look. I'm happy with the result and I wish you will like it too ^_^

Green leaves remaining from the summer past and golden autumn hues seem to blend together on a rainy afternoon at the beautiful Cedar Grist Mill, near Woodland, Washington.
Sometimes I forget that green and gold are next door neighbors on the spectrum, as I often tend to visualize quite a contrast in nature between verdant summer and the bright golds and other warm colors that autumn brings to go along with its cooler temperatures. In this idyllic place, on an afternoon when the weather mostly alternated between downpours, drizzles and mist (I think shot was taken during more of a light drizzle period), I found this sort of blended color palette quite beautiful.
Another interesting thing, that we didn't realize at first, is that some sort of good-sized salmon or trout were busily working their way upstream to spawn all the while we were at Cedar Creek. Someone later told us they were steelhead, which I learned is basically a type of rainbow trout that lives part of its time in freshwater and part at sea (I also learned the general term for freshwater fish that go to sea is "anadromous", so there's the random word of the day).
Anyway, before we understood what was going on, we'd periodically hear a smack, like a single hand clap, or a thud coming from the area of the waterfall that's just barely visible in the center of this image behind a veil of leaves. Once we realized that a spawning run was underway in the stream we ventured over to an overlook by waterfall and saw up close the cause of those sounds--fish that missed their jumps up the falls often were powered back against the rocks with quite a bit of force by the rushing flow. Getting upstream to spawn looked like very tough work for those beautiful fish. Its almost hard to believe they ever make it since they were having quite a time with this waterfall, and it wasn't much of a waterfall by Pacific Northwest standards. It was amazing to watch.
On a different note, for those of you who know this view well, I confess to using the creative license afforded by the cloning brush to remove from the scene the modern outdoor light fixture mounted just under the roof peak. Useful as it may be in the real world, it wasn't working for me in this image and thus had to go!
Thanks for viewing!
This one started off experimenting with the body shape. I think it turned out ok but I'm not super excited with it. I imagine that before the Battle for the Moon heated up, both countries established small colonies on the moon and did lunar science. When the war began and the respective militaries took over, these still useful unarmed mecha were retained for utility roles far from the front lines.
The 11/4/19 theme for Macro Mondays is Brands and Logos. This Leatherman is probably the most useful tool I've ever owned.

The acacias are trying to take over our land. They spread and grow FAST.
I was pleased to see their vicious thorns being put to better use than their usual tearing through my flesh!
I think I've got this the wrong way around, though not all of the things in this drawer are actually useful for most of the time.
We're Here and digging about in our drawers...

this is a palm leaf, still on the tree, but has turned brown and gold. palm leaves, like coconut leaves still are useful in making baskets, mats, roofs of native houses, even textile material.

i think it's my internet connection that is having problems, making it quite difficul to visit most of your streams. i hope things get better soon as i am way behind in my visits!
Macro Mondays Theme: Halloween
The skull is approx 1 cm in length. The red light is provided by a red quality street wrapper placed over a small torch (I always knew those wrappers would come in useful! 😄).
Happy Halloween! HMM...

This is a rootless plant that purifies the air, like
all Tillandsias, it helps improve air quality by absorbing pollutants, making your environment healthier.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questi sono i fiori della Tillandsia, una pianta senza radici che purifica l'aria.
Assieme all'umidità, le Tillandsie catturano anche il pulviscolo atmosferico che contiene agenti inquinanti. In ragione di questa proprietà, sono stati eseguiti studi volti ad esplorare l'utilizzo di queste piante come biorivelatori di inquinanti atmosferici, in particolare per rivelare gli IPA (idrocarburi policiclici aromatici), sostanze provenienti dalla incompleta combustione della benzina e del gasolio sospettate di causare il cancro.
La pianta è stata testata per sei mesi sulla trafficatissima circonvallazione di Firenze, per iniziativa del botanico Luigi Brighigna dell'Ateneo fiorentino, che ha poi portato le piantine "inquinate" al dipartimento di chimica 'Ciamician' di Bologna, attrezzato per studiarle. Secondo i risultati del test, resi noti dall'Università di Bologna, la Tillandsia può essere usata per monitorare l'inquinamento, ma anche, in dosi massicce, per assorbire le polveri cariche di idrocarburi policiclici aromatici, ovvero i benzopireni accusati di essere cancerogeni, provenienti dall'incompleta combustione della benzina e del gasolio. La mancanza di radici ha permesso, inoltre, di analizzare le sostanze depositate escludendo le interferenze con il terreno. La Tillandsia non solo cattura gli inquinanti, ma è in grado di assorbirli ed eliminarli, metabolizzandoli, ovvero "mangiando" una discreta quantità di inquinanti: 0,2 milligrammi per chilogrammo di pianta. Costa poco e sono già state ipotizzate le applicazioni: una piccola parete può essere usata per disinquinare un appartamento, ma non si esclude in futuro l'ipotesi di interi pannelli pieni di piante da collocare sulle autostrade e sulle vie cittadine di grande traffico.

The quintessential classic 1950s, B.R. designed, really useful engines pose at the 2022 DRS open day at Crewe Gresty Bridge (photobombed by an 88).
There are many reasons why visitors flocked to this event at Gresty Bridge on 16 July 2022, but one of them must surely be that it may have been the last opportunity to view the DRS heritage fleet in significant numbers. The offer of a lease back scheme may mean that DRS will still have access to some of these magnificent machines and hopefully Kingmoor can produce a line up like this in 2024.
My dad is a Cowboy, Blacksmith and a Saddle-smith, among many other things. In his seventy-something years of life, his hands have done lot of work, and created many useful and beautiful things. Here he is building me a leather camera strap, made to fit me perfectly.

In case you didn't know what 2 meters looked like....
It amused me to picture someone finding nine red squirrels and lining them up,,,,it is probable as likely as lining up three spaniels (that look like collies to me)!
And the Horton toilets were open too!
"The beautiful is as useful as the useful. Perhaps more so." ~~ Victor Hugo
It's my belief that without something in our life we think is beautiful we perish.
I go through a lot of decision often when I post ... will I be the only one to like this shot, is it really good enough to post, etc., etc. And sometimes I take one down within a few minutes of it being posted. This is one of those shots. Last rays of sun in the Tetons and Amy and I saw this bear meandering off into the backlit woods. I absolutely love the shot for the spirit it conveys though I know it is not a good technical shot.
Sorry I got to wordy here! Have a great day!
THANKS for your kind visits,
Bev

IAT 1989, RAF Fairford.
The KC-135E was powered by P&W TF-33 engines taken from retired Boeing 707 or 720 airliners. This conferred more power than the original J-57s and the availability of reverse thrust was useful for operation from civilian airports, where a lot of the ANG units were based. This aircraft was retired to AMARC in February 2007.

Wandering around the Great Central Railway in Loughborough - found this old filing cabinet wedged between two sheds... old and rusty, but still useful.
It was inevitable that the cheeky face of Thomas the Tank Engine would feature as a 'squared circle' and here he is!
The city of Mandalay, the capital of the Mandalay Region, Myanmar, lies on the eastern (true left) bank of the Irrawaddy River some 575 km (357 mi.) north of Yangon. Mandalay Hill (224 m, 735 ft,) rises some 135 m (443 ft.) above the northern part of the city. I took this shot in the Su Taung Pyae Pagoda, which lies on the summit of Mandalay Hill.

This is going to come down soon so a useful record shot - also taken from the Amtrak Cascades train. The new bridge is expected to open in 2024.
The existing #PattulloBridge will remain in use until the new bridge is open to traffic. Once the new bridge is open, the existing bridge will be removed.

Negative astro images are useful for science sometimes as the fainter detail can stand out a bit more, but that's usually monochrome. I don't like the colours when I make a traditional colour negative so this is conventional colours of the Tarantula Nebula (in the Large Magellanic Cloud) but a negative luminance. And starless. It is interesting?
