I wasn't sure Kamara would be a keeper, but after doing her faceup and making this wig for her I totally fell in love. The wig is my first venture into using Teeswater fiber. This particular batch was delightfully conditioned and easy to work with. Kamara came to life just as I had envisioned which doesn't always happen. She's borrowing a body (terrible resin match) for now until hers arrives.
25th April 2019:
Firstly with apologises to Sting for borrowing his song title and Secondly for using 'Franglais' which I loathe with a passion. "Cake" wouldn't fit the metre of the song!
The oddest instant cake mix we've ever seen, but we're giving it a try this weekend.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Schloss Neuschwanstein (Neuschwanstein Castle) which inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty's castle. It stands above Hohenschwangau a former village in Schwangau, Ostallgäu district, Bavaria, Germany.
Despite the main residence of the Bavarian monarchs at the time—the Munich Residenz—being one of the most extensive palace complexes in the world, King Ludwig II of Bavaria felt the need to escape from the constraints he saw himself exposed to in Munich, and commissioned Neuschwanstein Palace on the remote northern edges of the Alps as a retreat but also in honour of composer Richard Wagner, whom he greatly admired.
Ludwig chose to pay for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing rather than Bavarian public funds. Work began in 1869, the walls are made of brick with light-coloured limestone as decoration.
The castle was intended to serve as a private residence for the king but he died in 1886, and it was opened to the public shortly after his death. Since then, more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer.

Sam, the Stormtrooper has been stuck here on Earth for a while now. He hangs around my garage, always helping out and borrowing cars to see which he liked best, but he has never found just the right one.....until now! Something about the styling and colour of the Lamborghini Murcielago strongly appealed to him!

The white Lamborghini was another bargain basement offering by my local electronics store who have had these model sitting on the shelves, seemingly unwanted by our local shoppers for many years. I was happy to give it a new home.

Das Schloss Neuschwanstein steht oberhalb von Hohenschwangau bei Füssen im südlichen Bayern. Der Bau wurde ab 1869 für den bayerischen König Ludwig II. als idealisierte Vorstellung einer Ritterburg aus der Zeit des Mittelalters errichtet. Die Entwürfe stammen von Christian Jank, die Ausführung übernahmen Eduard Riedel und Georg von Dollmann. Der König lebte nur wenige Monate im Schloss, er starb noch vor der Fertigstellung der Anlage. Neuschwanstein wurde ursprünglich als Neue Burg Hohenschwangau bezeichnet, seinen heutigen Namen trägt es seit 1886.[1] Eigentümer des Schlosses ist der Freistaat Bayern;[2] es wird von der Bayerischen Verwaltung der staatlichen Schlösser, Gärten und Seen betreut und bewirtschaftet.

JAGO: "Oh Daisy-Maud! Thank goodness you are home, my little sister!" *Gives Daisy-Maud a big little bear hug.* "I was so worried about you!"
DAISY-MAUD: "Why Jago? I told you I was borrowing Paddy's Mini-Luggy to go shopping. I was only at Mr. Grocer's around the corner."
JAGO: "Yes, but you were gone for so long, Daisy-Maud! I was starting to get concerned you wouldn't be home before it gets dark!"
DAISY-MAUD: "Ahh well, there is a reason why I was so long at Mr. Grocer's."
BOGART: "Hi Daisy-Maud and Jago!"
JAGO and DAISY-MAUD: "Hullo little Bogart."
BOGART: "Ooooohhh! Is that honey I can see in the Mini-Luggy, Daisy-Maud?"
DAISY-MAUD: "Yes, Bogart! That's very observant of you. I was just about to tell Jago, the reason I went to Mr. Grocer's and why I was gone for so long, was because there was a honey sale, and I had great difficulty deciding which jars of honey everybear might like."
BOGART: "Oh I love honey of every kind, Daisy-Maud! Grumbly tummy Daisy-Maud! Grumbly tummy Jago!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
DUCKIE: "Hullo everybear!"
DAISY-MAUD, JAGO and BOGART: "Hullo Duckie!"
DUCKIE: "Ooooohhh! Honey!"
DAISY-MAUD: "I didn't know that ducks were partial to honey, Duckie!" *Surprised.*
DUCKIE: "Well, ordinary honey, like you bears like, we ducks don't like, but we do like special duck honey." *Licks beak with cute little duckie tongue.* "Is that special duck honey I can see, Daisy Maud?"
DAISY-MAUD: "Well Duckie... I'm not entirely sure." *Puts paw to mouth in concern.*
BOGART: "What is in special ducky honey, Duckie?"
DUCKIE: "Oh you know, just the usual." *Sighs.* "Bugs, grubs and worms."
JAGO: "Bugs!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.*
DAISY-MAUD: "Grubs!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.*
BOGART: "Worms!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.* "Suddenly I don't think I have a grumbly tummy any more!" *Pats tummy softly with paw.*
DUCKIE: "Honestly! You bears have no imagination when it comes to food! All you ever eat are cakes made with flour and butter, sugar and fruit!"
JAGO: "Or chocolate Duckie."
DUCKIE: "Or chocolate! Yuck!" *Sticks out cute little duck tongue. "There is no accounting for taste with you!"
DAISY-MAUD: "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Duckie, but this is obviously the kind of honey that only bears and Mummies and Daddies like, with Vanilla, Clover, Box and Jarrah in it. I didn't see any duckie mummies buying any at the grocer's."
DUCKIE: "Oh pooh!" *Ruffles yellow crochet feathers irritably.* "Well, you bears probably would have bought me duck honey I don't like anyway, even if there was some there."
JAGO: "I might regret asking this, but what kind of duck honey don't you like, Duckie."
DUCKIE: "Well, I'm not particularly partial to mealworm infused duck honey, Jago. It has a very..." *Crumples up beak in disgust.* "A very mealworm kind of taste. You know what I mean?"
JAGO: "No I don't, Duckie, but I think I'm rather pleased that I don't."
DUCKIE: "Oh well, I best get back to writing ducky honey on Daddy's weekly groceries list. All this talk of honey has made me quite peckish, even if the honey you have doesn't have any yummy bugs, grubs or worms in it." *Flaps crochet wings and waddles away.*
*Daisy-Maud, Jago and Bogart all watch Duckie waddle back into the house.*
JAGO: "Bugs!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.*
DAISY-MAUD: "Grubs!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.*
BOGART: "Worms!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.*
Daisy-Maud's shopping jeep is beautifully made by Olli Ella and is called a 'Mini Luggy'. It is made by hand of natural and sustainably sourced materials.
Jago was a gift from a dear friend in England. He is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes. He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him. He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
Daisy-Maud is Jago's little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him. She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes. A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her new Daddy.
Duckie I saw when I was at a Sunday market on a stall of homemade knitted and crocheted items. She caught my eye straight away with her happy, smiley face and bright colours. I think she finds life with my bears intriguing and perhaps a little confusing, however she is learning.
This was taken with Mum's Lumix. In low light it just keeps on going. I'm seriously thinking of getting myself one as I'm always borrowing hers when light poor or I just don't fancy lugging mine about!! (They have Lecia lenses and I'm a huge fan !)

Excerpt from tourismhamilton.com:
Electric City (14) by Vesna Asanovic: The City of Hamilton is recognized and widely known by its nicknames “Hammer town” and “Steel City”. Yet few are familiar with Hamilton’s early nickname as the Electric City. In the late 1800’s Hamilton was one of the first cities to us hydroelectricity to power plants and factories. By borrowing inspiration from Electra, the Greek goddess from which we get the word ‘electricity’ and Hamilton’s illuminating history; Electric City is an eye-catching and playful illustration for the new technology that generated hundreds of jobs and a rise in Hamilton’s population.
We returned to one of our favorite owl spots. The signs that say, “Watch out for burrowing Owls” were accurate. This owl was right out in the open sunning himself. We quickly made a U-turn and pulled up where we would not bother the owl. The sun was just right and we took numerous pictures without disturbing this beautiful bird.

I know it's a beetle. The rest is a guess. They are very common this time of the year and are found borrowing into fall flowers. I assume they feed on pollen. They fly from flower head to flower head and are quite the sight when the sun is low near sunset during the Golden Hour.

Back around 1960, I had the pleasure and responsibility of borrowing one with a similar body style and was very impressed. A friend had a rather rough one that we took the engine out of and put it into a VW microbus. There are some stories there, but the fun didn't last very long as the rusty Porsche was worth more than the rusty old bus I had acquired for something like $50. Both were gone once the engine was returned to the Porsche.
Apologies for the absence - my computer is frustratingly slow these days, so I've been 'borrowing' my husband's ipad in an attempt to keep up/catch up... and I have to say your images are all so much brighter & sharper on the retina display. They look even more incredible than usual!
Here's one from a while ago, at Tatton Park. Hope you like it!
PS I still have to rely on the computer for uploading :-/
Built as place to grow plants on the Hibernia ice planet, Borrowing heavily from Sarah Beyer's builds
the title sounds deeper than it is... but really she's just borrowing eyes, wig, clothes and will get a new faceup. i LOVE her though already :)
We were trying to find the Davis Water Treatment Plant. We kind of veered off the beaten path and spotted a sign that read: “Borrowing Owls On the Ground, Drive Slowly.” Yea right. Then we spotted something out of the corner of our eyes, heads twisting forwards and backwards so perfectly in sync that they could have been computerized. They were Burrowing Owls ! And just a few feet from the road. Oh yea, we stopped and took numerous images from the car.

40012 AUREOL is flanked by 40135 and 45108 on Bury MPD.
Or is it Newton Heath or Longsight in 1980. Probably Newton Heath where 45s were more common, though you would sometimes find them on Longsight too.
I have to admit to borrowing the cab interior from 40012 to light 45108 given we were unsuccessful in getting the cab lights on in the Peak.
i'm borrowing Allegra's film camera for the week. i'm pretty much in love with film now. =]
for my first roll i'm extremely happy with how a lot of the photos came out. i probably won't post too many on flickr, but for any of you who are friends with me on Facebook, i might have some more on there.
BR1 switches some gons on the chamberlain runner next to the Lackawanna roundhouse. It seems today they’ve pulled some power from the D&H in Green ridge and are borrowing one of LV’s centuries. the EL must be getting power short!
Borrowing a line from the great Neil Young...today was new signal cut-over day on the BNSF transcon at Williamsfield, Illinois. A rather large storm rolled through here this morning before work got started. Maybe the classic searchlight signal Gods were pissed? Anyway, here we view a eastbound heading out of that storm. A reliable source told me (under the condition of anonymity) that the cut-over work would be complete today.
Another set of classic searchlights and cantilevers bites the dust.
Sorry, but I could not resist borrowing the title from one of my favourite movies. However, this bridge was a bit too far from where I was standing. The path had been washed away from high waters a few years ago. It was one gorgeous day for a stroll in the park. One could still reach the bridge but "Still able to Reach The Bridge" is a lesser noun title than the one chosen.
No credits at the moment, just a snapshot, slightly edited 'cause I really have no time.
And no laptop by the way, it just broke down more than a month ago, don't even know if it's actually broken for good or not, still figuring it out.
So I'm here, borrowing my old desktop for a bit, and decided to snapshot something after months of inactivity.
Doesn't feel like fall here, yet, but supposedly it's that time of the year.
I hope Rusty in Vancouver BC doesn't mind me borrowing her idea to pose for the camera every Saturday. ? Visit Rusty's stream to see the Vanc BC Rusty: www.flickr.com/photos/enjoy2010/6248531351/in/contacts/
{My contact Peter suggested SATURDAY's w/ Rusty instead of Sunday. Great idea, so it will be Saturday next weekend.}.

Shamelessly borrowing an idea from my friend Eiona Roberts for Macro Mondays theme of Chocolate. The problem with being a lover of chocolate is that there is never any left in the house! These are some small drops for making hot chocolate, which proved a little too sweet as a drink, yet fine for nibbling on occasionally. I say occasionally, there was only just enough left to fill this teaspoon, which is just over an inch wide.
Pghotographed on a lightpad.
There is this small county road that runs right through a couple of farms that has a couple of signs that say “Borrowing Owls On the Ground, Drive Slowly.” This was our second trip as we visited this area late last year. It was a good day and we arrived early. Unlike last time there was no wind and the light was just right. We observed and smiled and took numerous pictures as they flew from the ground to the sign post and to the trees. They live underground in burrows they’ve either dug themselves or that were previously dug by a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise.

Now this 2006 shot is of an slightly unknown history as it was taken with a camera that was not mine. Indeed it could have been taken by his Lordship! We were both there and I recall borrowing his Kodak Brownie to take some shots.
Ribblehead Viaduct is a world famous structure on the Settle - Carlisle Railway in Cumbria, UK. This most scenic of railways was saved from closure by Michael Portillo, then a UK Government Minister, now a railway program TV presenter.
This is a Burrowing Owl near Yolo Bypass. Every time we are visiting the Yolo Bypass we take a quick detour to see the Borrowing Owls. Sometimes they are out in full force but this day it took a little searching but fortunately were able to locate a couple of them. Unlike other owls, burrowing owls are active during the day, especially in the spring when they gather food for their large broods. This species of owl prefers open areas with low ground cover.
