For the dog runs that are starting to take shape
Impressive to see the scale of the place!

Loved the simplicity of this view. Tweaked to bring out the colours to the point of almost over-cooked but not quite :)

Pulley blocks used in high lead logging or skyline logging. Primarily in the west of N. America. This person is using these for an unusual entrance to his property.

Hi everyone!
My name is Krystian, I'm a young amateur photographer from Warsaw/Poland and I always wanted to share my photos with people around the world so feel free to favourite and comment my shots!

Please check my:
ktelschow asked to be surprised. She provided a gallery which had a wide variety of colours and pointed us to her other galleries. I noticed that she had a colour spectrum quilt gallery which is where I got the idea for the colours. She mentioned that she liked simple, bold, designer fabrics so I chose a variety of those in a colour spectrum.
The block is from Oh Fransson's Chopped Vegetables Pillows pattern. I used the third technique in the pattern and resized everything to make a 12.5" block.
DT reader and vintage design guru Andy spotted this incredible set of blocks by the Czech exile designer Ladislav Sutnar being auctioned on Oct 12:
PEDAGOGICAL PROJECT (AVANT-GARDE, CZECH MODERNIST.) Sutnar, Ladislav. Original set of woodblocks for "Build the Town." 30 pieces [complete], small wooden building blocks, cones, and triangles painted in red, blue, and yellow, some paint chipping, some a bit soiled. [New York, circa 1942]
Estimate $7,000-10,000
one of a handful of surviving prototypes; from the sutnar family collection. Sutnar began his career in his native Czechoslovakia as a toy designer and educator. Between 1922 and 1926 he created "Factory Town," a set of children's blocks designed as an educational toy in the spirit of Froebel's blocks. After emigrating to the states, he tried in earnest to find a manufacturer for the set which he re-named less grimly "Build the Town." This is one of only a few prototypes created, entirely at Sutnar's expense, with the hope that the company Cobos/Builders would produce the set, but it was not to be realized. Another major impediment came from lumber companies that could not stop wartime orders to produce the wooden blocks. Despite his best efforts, Sutnar was forced to abandon the project. The archive of drawings and documents for the project was sold in Swann Galleries' salesroom on 20 September, 2001, lot 354. Build the Town represents an inventive attempt by Sutnar to introduce children to the basic forms, vibrant primary colors, and the creative freedom of design. The Museum of Modern Art, the Getty Museum, and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum own sets.
Ever have one of those days when your brain can't reach you?
Photographer's note: I was not very pleased with how this one turned out due to equipment failure (dead camera batteries during my first attempt), timed street lights, and police. Yes, the police stopped to chat with me since they thought I closed the street myself, but in fact the road blocks were already there. So I had to explain why I was holding a brain under the train tracks. Nothing to see here officers! ;)
One of my biggest struggles with my 365 project is not being able to "perfect" my photographs enough in the allotted time with busy schedules. I'm sure everyone doing a 365 project deals with this common struggle, but it sure takes a toll one one's mental and physical self. Just 26 more days til rest!
Day 339/365
Fortunately just a few sheep or I could have been late for work! The young lady shepherd on her quad bike had them moving quickly past me and wasn't using her sheep dogs which were on the back of the bike. The sheep caught the light as they crested the hill on this frosty winter morning.
Edit: I must dedicate this to Schrek the Sheep who died today, 6/6/11. He made world news when he was found hiding in a cave for 6 years and had a huge fleece. He also was shorn on an iceberg of the coast from our city. He was 17 years old or about 90 in human years.
Tanya's block for her Star Studded Rainbow Quilt. I used the Maine pattern from Carol Doak's 50 Paper Pieced Stars book. I choose this pattern because it seemed to echo the feel of her starter block without being an exact copy.

As many of you may have noticed, I love the water. Put me near the coast and I could happily take photos all day long. I never get tired of the way the water moves along beach, and was fascinated by this scene on Block Island
Enjoy!
This giant snow slug blocked the way to my next camp. I could have (sort of) easily driven around / through it, but I would have had to drive off road and that's something I try to avoid.
Map location is an approximation.

Victoria asked for this specific style of block and provided the grey fabric. She said that there were no limits on what fabrics we could use. It's a wonderful way to use up small but precious pieces of fabric. She gave us the option of adding something to the center if we wanted and I noticed a definite pink/birdy theme in my fabrics. The appliqued bird is from here. (It's the fifth time I've used this bird in a bee block...I'm kind of in love!)
Except for shopping, which is a biggy, every Block Island activity is represented in this image! See my additional Block Island scenes at flic.kr/s/aHsmHkWEph
