The picture shows the braided Waimakariri River near Arthur's Pass on New Zealand's South Island. Globally, braided rivers are rare. They exist only where a very specific combination of climate and geology allows rivers to form ever-changing and highly dynamic braided channels across a wide gravelly riverbed.
New Zealand is a braided river hot-spot, with most of our braided rivers in Canterbury, on the eastern side of the Southern Alps' main divide. Problems faced by the braided rivers ecosystem are invasive plants along with the extraction of shingle, irrigation and electricity generation, and conversion of braided river margins to intensive agriculture. The photo shows a patch of Russell lupins invading the riverbed. Although Russell lupins may look beautiful, they are an aggressive introduced weed that smothers braided riverbeds by growing in dense stands on bare gravel areas. Well adapted to living in the challenging environments of braided rivers, they can produce their own nutrients (nitrogen) and are very effective at dispersing their seeds. Their roots become entwined and hold the gravel together, forming stable areas. The river erodes the edges, creating steep banks. This restricts the water so that instead of braiding, it develops deep, fast-flowing channels, unsuitable for wading birds to feed in. The dense stands also take over the open spaces where braided river birds like to nest. This is deeply concerning for rare and endangered birds that nest exclusively along braided rivers, which normally feed in shallow river braids. Russell lupin also provide cover to introduced predators such as stoats and cats to sneak up on birds. Source: braid.org.nz
i tried to do a sixties theme shoot, and while i was doing it, the neighbors came outside.. haha. i hid behind a bush, needless to say.
i'll be back soon!
It’s way too hot for hair. I’m not ready for a buzz cut, so a french braid will do.
I’m 90% sure that I will be cutting my hair much shorter at my next salon visit. In the meantime, I grateful to be able to braid back the current length when it’s hot (and/or my hair needs a wash).

Braided Corona Star, Corona Star Series (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 8 units, no glue
The star is just a more advanced variation of the Braided Star which was created last year. The Braided Star on steroids if you will:) By adding some additional folds to the unit it's possible to make these little corners pop out for a "two-layered" effect.
If you like this braided look in the center make sure to check out this great video tutorial by Sara Adams featuring the basic Braided Star!
I didn't realize how many Momoko have braids till I took these pictures! :-D

Nothing brings people out like a brand New Mexican restaurant. Bar Burrito opened today. I spent a 1/2 hour waiting behind this lady and her beautiful braids.

Jenna started braiding small parts of her hair... I think it looks really cute.
Our Daily Challenge: Fill the frame
A most wonderful thing for me when I find these shots. This one I repaired with PS because the edges were torn off, and I didn't want that to detract from the lovely focus of the women's formation. Also bumped up the contrast and de-yellowed it.
