My Grandson in a very rare nanosecond of quiet contemplation. I have to put my phone into Action Mode to catch anything of him. He is an amazing little bundle of goodness...really, he is!
Afraid of all the things they do or the words that they say
Let's live the way we want to live and hope they go away
I really hope they go away
I really hope they find a nice place
I hope they find it somewhere
I hope they go away"

So in the process of making The Masked Mutant I somehow discovered this guy, I don't know too many characters from Are You Afraid of the Dark?, just the guys from the episodes that Jontron reviewed and that pool monster (which actually looks pretty creepy, but kinda cool too), and there's apparently a reboot on Nick too, which I haven't watched, or heard anything about really. I sculpted onto the jester hat to make him more accurate, and I detailed his face similar to a certain version of a certain Lego clown character. Pretty good figure overall.
Lights from a solitary farm illuminate the valley of Nant Gwynant as if trying to keep the darkness at bay, missing a great gig in the sky.

Up and Close Sweet Encounters in Regent’s Park !
Well, I have been in London for a week recently. I was invited by my daughter who lives 10’ walk from the magnificent Regent’s Park!! And look whom I was meeting up and close , every time I was entering in the Park!!! No!! The squirrels of Regent’s Park are not afraid of us-humans , any more!! Isn’t that wonderful??? I guess, the same happens all over the world, wherever the humans accept and respect the “wild” animals living close to their everyday living spaces….
In the National Geographic TV programmes I have watched recently the happy families of the beautiful wolves who live again in the German forests!!! ---After they had almost been disappeared during the last centuries…. The same in the Canadian and the USA forests! Wonderful!!!
The Man is NOT the arrogant King of the Universe!! He has to share his everyday living with his brothers-the Animals, “wild” or not !!!

... of Red, Yellow and Blue

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
― Plato
Catch-up soon. Thanks for looking... :-)
Holding back onto something you want hurts. I'm afraid of everything about us. I'm afraid of you taking me for granted. I'm afraid of taking another shot for us. I'm afraid of holding into something that slowly fade away while I grip it tight. I'm afraid of the pain.
But the worst part is, I'm afraid of losing you. And I would sacrifice all of that as long as you'd be with me.
I was fascinated by the cut-out shot I did the other day cause it turned out nice. So I tried another and failed. XD It turned out lame. But luckily there's photoshop. :P
Last episode of Pretty Little Liars today. :( :(
Amazing Georg Eberhard Rumphius (1627-1702), the Blind Pliny of Ambon - whom I've often mentioned in these pages - was a great botanist of the East Indies. More than that, he was also a general naturalist and anthropologist, and he writes most colorfully and engagingly.
In Book VI of his great Herbarium amboinense he waxes eloquent in many pages on our Crinum asiaticum, known to him as Radix toxicaria especially in connection with the Upas Tree, Antiaris toxicaria, for him Arbor toxicaria.
Rumphius in Book II devotes lots of space to the dangers of that Arbor and its deadly poisonous sap or resin. He does that in the context of one of those Dutch Colonial Wars in what is today Indonesia. The Dutch and their proxies on Ambon fought the so-called Fifth Ambonese War (1651) against the Sultan of Ternate (and allies of Makassar) who took exception to their monopoly of the clove trade. The Sulawesans fought against cannon and muskets with blowpipes equipped with poisoned darts (which Rumphius describes carefully and interestingly). The poison was taken from that Upas Tree and became deadly mixed with 'bitter ginger'. In fact the Ambonese-Dutch soldiers were more afraid of those darts than of their own sophisticated metal.
Rumphius describes how once hit by such a dart an antidote was what he - in his Dutch version - coyly calls in Latin 'Excrementum Humanum'. He adds that if a given soldier didn't have any of his own, a fellow would be happy to give him a crap. This stuff served as an emetic, thus expelling the poison. But a far better remedy says our anthropologist-naturalist is a medicine concocted from the root of our pretty pink Crinum asiaticum. It's an even more powerful emetic... And, I would think, just a bit less revolting.
In the inset I've provided a colored engraving taken from Rumphius's Herbarium. It was published by Pierre-Joseph Buc'hoz (1731-1807) around 1775.
