Another one from Monday actually, Monarch Butterfly found around the fences. Nope this doesn't really count as bokeh, let me see if I can come up with any other bokeh ones. If not, HBW anyways.
Another wedding sees the Old Girl with its regular driver for the 2012 season, in the narrow confines around Binstead church on June 16th.
Cannot recall when we had our last dry Easter, glad we are not out camping.
Total for this year 1374mm of rain already and our property is like a bog. But we are warm and cosy inside :)

This is not a gloat
This post might not impress everybody so I'm calling this an interesting find instead of a gloat.
I've always been fond of the smaller tool makers. So when I spotted an Aussie hand plane on a "Online auction site near you™, I had to make a run for it.
After a btalle with another curious yet uncertain buyer, I won the auction and a few days later arrived a Turner no 4 smoothing plane.
I won't show you any pictures before you have read far enough, as some of you might turn your eyes away in disgust. But I can assure you, there's no need for parental guiding the woodworking style.
Yes, it has plastic handles. Yes, it has a frog made of aluminum.
While you let tho sink in I will tell you the plane also has a very solid and well made body, the handles are translucent (á la MF permaloid) and that the plane is fitted with a Erik Anton Berg cutter made specifically for the Turner tool company.
I will not try to steal the show as all I know about this company is borrowed from the Village Woodworker down under:
thevillagewoodworker.blogspot.com/2012/11/turner-hand-pla...
What I can add is that I agree with his review. This is a very well made hand plane. The celluloid acetate handles feels good in my hands and bring a light smile to my face, much needed in the dark era of Finnish autumn awaiting the even worse. The aluminum frog is of course a slight concern. Will it hold up against had use? But as long as remember not to tighten either the lever cap or the frog screws too much I ought to be OK. And I just love having a Berg cutter made specifically for metal hand planes which can be used not in only in this plane but also my MF no 9.
This plane was purchased from an Englishman who says his father worked in Australia for a few years and who thinks his dad must have bought the plane during his stay. From what I know it hasn't been used for a long time. It's not unused but the scar tissue on the surface has more to do with being stored away improperly than from hard use. The plane has some shallow pitting on both sole and cheeks and I discovered rust on the handle bolts as well as the bolt housing. By the look of the bleached and very tatty box and the mildew stench coming from it, I would guess the plane has been stored in a outside shed but succumbed to sunshine and varying temperatures, which would very well explain why the plane has been corroded.
The handles are intact and I hope that adding some wax might help them to stay sound. Luckily the handles have not been subjected to direct sunlight.
There's a very nice addition t the fastening of the front knob. The raised housing on the body has a recess cut into it at the front side. The knob has a mating little toe which fits into the recess. This feature will keep the front knob from rotating and prevent the user from over tightening the knob. An ingenious invention which would be welcomed on other planes as well.
The plane has only been taken for a short spin on some ash, but it does feel promising. The cutter had been resharpened but not across its full edge so it needs a proper resharpening before I can provide a verdict.
What I can say is that I have compared the weight of this plane with a MF no 9 (Type 2) and a Stanley low knob no 4.
The Turner is the decidedly heaviest of them all, even considering this plane has plastic handles and a frog made of aluminum. It weighs in at 1750 grams.
The MF no 9 weighs 1680 grams and the Stanley no 4 a mer 1610 grams.
The difference are not mind blowing and might be moot for most users, but it does say something about the solidity of this plane.
It should be (just looked on the web, I know nothing about Entomology) of the Cylindromyia genus, belonging to the family of the Tachinid Flies. View Large On Black.
Another bout of flyposters vs. glasgow shitty council as the battle between them intensifies. This one is particularly reminiscent of some of de Kooning's later and more austere paintings.

is a piece of modern sculpture by Anthony Gormley consisting of 100 cast iron figures facing out to sea on Crosby Beach, near Liverpool. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea...
Another wacky snapshot that fell victim to a leaky camera. This one looks like a vacation photo. The date 1946 is stamped on the back along with "Hughes Studio, Chillicothe, Ohio (developing/printing service). Found in Ohio.
After a good days work (10 pies thrown in my face), it's time to wipe the pie out of my eyes, enjoy the laughs and drive home in this mess.
Here is another individual feeding the Key Deer this is about 15 minutes after the previous photo.
There were a couple of people that suggested that I send the first photo to the authorities. These photos were taken on No Name Key when we went back to Big Pine we stopped in the Key Deer Refuge to give them the photos. They said it was the Holiday Weekend and there was no law personnel around and they weren't interested in the photos. We didn't know what to say!
Magic at the Mill, Salem, Oregon
The Thomas K. Woolen mill, warehouse and the mill bldg, are lit up with many thousands of lights every year from Dec. 19 to Dec. 23. This year, unknown to me there was a private party. The site was open so I proceeded to take photos, unobstructed by the usual crowds.
I believe this building is the Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhavan, home of the Nirankari Mission. It is led by Baba Hardev Singh Maharaj, shown in the mural on the building. "Peace not Pieces" is one of his trademark sayings. I came across another quote of his online: "Blood should flow in veins, not roads," in reference to blood donation clinics that his organization runs.
Another model of the city of Singapore in minature in the Singapore City Gallery. This one is incredibly detailed with building features clearly defined. We were able to find our hostel pretty easily.
This is a digital version of the print that I have made using Adobe Photo shop I had added colors that would have been used of album covers
Más flores. Llamando a la primavera a ver si me escucha y no tarda demasiado en llegar.
