Billie got a new hairstyle. A girl can't live her whole life in victory rolls. . though she might want to.
the Spacelady decided Scott should have a lovely new hairdo to celebrate her visit! Lots & lots & lots of little tiny braids with multicolored rubberbands on the end. Ever so fetching! The customs dudes at the New York airport certainly thought so, oh yes.
The A now on the left crosses over the top of the neghboring B strand while the A strand now on the right passes under its neighboring B strand.
The two B strands are once again in the center and you can start again at step (1).
All these braids were from a single cut and assembled from my hair. It was great for life in Alaska.
nobody seems to mind if you walk over to a horse in a pen at the Stanford stables. this one was very friendly and came over for a chat and some forehead rubs
Is it my imagination, or is the color getting sapped out of my photos when I upload them to flickr? You'll have to imagine this woman's lovely colored braids, anyhoo.
The centre of the top of what will be a queen sized bed-spread quilt. This is only about 41 x 43 inches. The next border will be another French Braid but only in dark purples.
Dracaena braunii is a species of the genus Dracaena. It is also known as Dracaena sanderiana, after the German–English gardener Henry Frederick Conrad Sander (1847–1920). Common names include Sander's dracaena, ribbon dracaena, lucky bamboo, curly bamboo, Chinese water bamboo, friendship bamboo, Goddess of Mercy plant, Belgian evergreen, and ribbon plant.
It is marketed in the developed world as a Chinese decorative plant "lucky bamboo" (although unrelated to bamboo and not native to Asia), propagated from short cuttings, usually in water. Dracaena braunii has long been associated with the Eastern practice of feng shui. Lucky bamboo is believed to be an ideal example of the thriving wood and water element, with the addition of a red ribbon sometimes tied around the stalks which is believed to "fire" the positive flow of energy or chi in the room. The number of stalks also has meaning: three for happiness; five for wealth; six for health. (Four stalks are avoided since the word 'four' in Chinese sounds too similar to the word for 'death'.)
Keeping lucky bamboo inside house and business places is believed to bring happiness and prosperity and this belief has promoted a huge sales of lucky bamboo shoots grown in decorative pots.

After I was dropped off at my hotel Sunday afternoon in Madison, Tennesee (on a Jon interview in '07), I put on my comfortable clothes and headed out to see if I could shoot some stuff under cloud-cover.
I liked the rope bindings on the flagpole just outside the hotel entrance.
It's hard to focus digicams. This one came out okay, with the rope closest to the lens actually in focus.
Tricky, that.
