Willow is a Soulkid Fafner hybrid on a Mnf Body. She was my first doll and I did her faceup myself. I love her to bits...
Quality is good - zoom in or go Large (press the L key) to see each pic nicely. Just like Linda's but hers are more artistic :-)
I thought that the photos in the Versatile challenge weren't getting their share of the fun. Flickr only pushes threads (discussions) to the top when it senses a new post. Because in this challenge we build up our post over the month, it only gets a showing on the days a new post is started.
I asked Linda if I could do a 'Versatile' montage. On saying yes I set to to have a go. This is pure DIY. A blank file, with downloaded files placed individually into place, saved, and titles added. The photos were different sizes so I shrunk them to make them all the same height - 500 pixels. This is my fourth go/version of the montage.
One photo per challenge (the challenge is to take a photo for each of the 10 subjects each month) - and at least one photo from everyones post.
Once I got this one finished and more or less presentable, I tried using the Photoshop E13 collage - a pathetic app. They probably sell better ones in their app store, but there is only the one in the program.
I tried the Picasa collage and it is also pathetic. I couldn't change the order - it worked the first time, but never again after that. I have a very low boredom threshold, and the computer is just this side of the bin. Grrrrr.
It was raining in Honolulu as I made my way to the small but versatile Foster Botanical Garden, where we'd spent fine hours on an earlier visit some years ago. Founded by Wilhelm Hillebrand (1821-1886), physician to the Hawaiian royal family and botanist, it later came into the hands of Captain and Mrs.Thomas Foster (from whence its name). In 1920 it was bequeathed to the state and became a beautiful public garden.
I haven't had a chance to look at Hillebrand's Flora of Hawai'i (1888) to see if this particular Hibiscus - so prettily pink in the rain - is described in it and whether it was already known in Hawai'i at that time. Another Hibiscus - the Hibiscus brackenridgei - is the state's official flower. It is a particularly clear hue of yellow. Regardless, this pink beauty was especially appealing to me even in the rain (which soon ceased and gave way to a breezy, sun-shiny day).
The versatility of the Lockheed Constellation airframe led to a number of modifications done by both the US Navy and the USAF, which generally shared the same EC-121 designation despite their different roles. Navy aircraft included the WV-2Q (EC-121M) electronic intelligence and WV-3 (WC-121N) weather reconnaissance aircraft. These lacked the radar domes of the WV-2/EC-121K and, in the case of the EC-121M, flew clandestine missions along the borders of the Eastern Bloc.
The USAF also modified a small number of Constellations into specialized variants, mostly testbeds identical to the standard EC-121D that tested the QRC-248 (“Quick Look”) and Rivet Gym (EC-121M) setups. Four were also briefly modified during the Cuban Missile Crisis as EC-121Q Gold Diggers, which tracked U-2 missions over Cuba. The largest number of modified Constellations, however, was the EC-121R, codenamed Batcat. Classified until the early 1980s, Batcat EC-121s were ex-Navy WV-2s and WV-3s supplied to the USAF and stripped off their radar domes. 25 Batcats were sent to Thailand, flying with the 553rd Reconnaissance Wing at Korat RTAFB, Thailand. Batcat’s role was to monitor and coordinate Operation Igloo White, the electronic surveillance of the Ho Chi Minh Trail from North Vietnam, through Laos and Cambodia, to the South.
Igloo White was the brainchild of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who envisioned an “electronic fence” around South Vietnam, which would save on manpower (and money). Using sensors dropped by USAF and US Navy aircraft, the sensors would bury themselves in the ground around known traffic points along the Trail. These sensors would then detect truck traffic and other manmade sounds, relay the signals to Batcats on station, which in turn would relay them to American forward air controllers, who would call in airstrikes.
While Igloo White had its uses and was on occasion very successful, halting Trail traffic was more effectively done by the FACs themselves or by US/South Vietnamese Special Forces on the Trail itself. Batcat missions lasted eighteen hours, requiring the aircraft to have better air conditioning than the standard EC-121. The project was wound down with the American pullout beginning in 1970, with the Batcats supplemented by QU-22 “Baby Bat” two-man aircraft, and ended for good in December 1971. Two Batcats were lost in fatal accidents during the war; the 28 survivors were later scrapped.
The EC-121R can be instantly identified not only by its lack of radar domes, but also its Southeast Asia camouflage of two shades of green and brown over white; Batcats were the only Constellations to receive camouflage schemes. Due to its clandestine nature, recognition markings on Batcats was limited to its bureau number on the tail.

Versatile Sausage Season Blend :: For Use In Breakfast Sausage And To Season Stir Frys, Soups, Wraps, & Dips!
A vintage postcard of Pep who was "The Official Greeter and Show Horse" at W.K. Kellogg's Arabian Horse Ranch in Pomona California.
According to the The W. K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center:
"The W. K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center traces its origins back to 1925, when the late W. K. Kellogg, founder of the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, Michigan, purchased land and built his ranch in Pomona. In 1949, Kellogg donated his ranch to the state of California, providing that (1) the property be used for educational purposes, and (2) the traditional Arabian horse shows, started by Kellogg in 1926 to demonstrate the beauty and versatility of the Arabian horse, be continued."
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Acton, London*. Here are the details of the project
Brief: The plot for this design was a mid-size family garden, which had recently benefited from the addition of a large sunroom on the back of the property. It was a fairly blank canvas, with nothing of note to be retained in the re-design. The garden had side access and worn boundary fences which required replacing. There was no clear brief other than that the design include a seating area and some lawn, and that the transition from sunroom to garden be fairly seamless.
Solution: The focus of this design was to create an exterior space that serves as an extension to the interior, featuring several distinct and versatile areas that can be adapted to a variety of uses.
The garden's boundaries were replaced with new fencing to provide a uniform and attractive backdrop to the transformation within, while the long sideway down the right of the house was renovated with the addition of attractive 'bamboo' slate tile flooring in a random lay pattern.
The first section of the space comprises a large area of Western Red Cedar decking adjoining the house, and offers ample room for entertaining, with a long L-shaped fixed-bench seat stretching width-ways across the space from the left-hand side to the centre. This was backed with a rendered block raised bed, planted with fragrant lavender and capped with 'bamboo' slate tile, to provide a sense of enclosure and separation from the rest of the garden.
A decked walkway running down the right hand side of the space provides access to a 'spa' area, featuring a large square hot tub housed upon a reinforced paved hard-standing and nestled between existing and additional trees, shrubs and foliage to provide a secluded and intimate area for bathing throughout the seasons. Hidden behind mature and new planting in the bottom left corner, a large shed provides ample storage for the client's garden accessories. The middle of the space has been given over to a large lawn edges with slate.
A purple and yellow planting scheme of soft, cottage-style evergreen shrubs and flowering perennials will help to bring year round lightness and subtle colouring to the space.
After-dark hot tub bathing is enhanced by several strings of pea-lights woven through the existing shrubbery. Deck lights demark the main area of decking and guide one's journey along the decked walkway. Finally, spot lights in the beds highlight certain area while providing a gentle wash throughout the space.
Testimonial: "After months of planning and a full year of having builders everywhere, we had finally got the house into good shape but the garden was a nightmare. It had been somewhat overgrown before the builders moved in, but after a year of being used as a builders yard, it needed shock treatment.
We needed help fast so we searched the web. We were looking for garden designers with creative ideas for smaller London gardens. We didn't want anything too traditional but at the same time, nothing too extreme.
Earth Designs fitted the bill and after a design session with Katrina, we engaged them for the project. They had offered us a design service only, but as we only had a 4 week window in which to complete the job, we gave them the whole project.
We had built a new extension with wide glass doors that opened out into the garden, so the brief to Earth Designs was to "bring the outside, inside" and create a strong link between the new room and the garden beyond. The actual garden space was not large so we wanted to use the space as an extension of the living space - to be an "outside room".
Monday 18th April and three very charming men arrived on our doorstep at 8.0am sharp. Arlo was the project manager, ably aided and abetted by Paul and Phillip. They worked brilliantly as a team and always hit all the deadlines. In particular they did a great job in working with our neighbours to ensure the whole project ran smoothly.
The first week involved clearing the site - no mean feat with 30-year-old ivy stems that looked more like tree trunks.
The second week involved levelling the garden, putting up new fencing, building the corner seating base and planters, plus marking out the garden shape. It was good to be able to make minor changes to the design on the ground at this stage. The hot tub arrived too and was winched into place for connection later.
Week 3 saw the decking and seating built.
Then in week four the turf arrived, the lawn went down and on the last day, Katrina arrived with a truckload of wonderful specimens (and Matt) and we had a wonderful time planting. Ground Force Mk II - a complete garden from start to finish in just 4 weeks!
There were a few things that needed to be sorted out after the main work was complete. Earth Designs were great about coming back until all was complete and finished.
Our thanks to Katrina, Matt, Arlo, Paul and Phillip for a great job, completed on time and on budget with a great looking result."

An oldie but a goodie.
I'm sending my old Panasonic FZ28 to my son's wife's daughters's husband's niece. So yesterday I took a variety of shots to show her how versatile a 12 year old camera can be. IQ ain't half bad either.
I'd forgotten how nice it is to use a sub-1 pound camera.The cameras I use most these days are a Sony RX10iv and a Nikon P900.
