I have a powerful magnet base which is how I got the washers to stand up. Also the magnet made it easy to pick them all up when I spilled them all over the place. HMM!

For this theme, I had to make the props as well as shoot them:) These paper baubles took a long time - they each started out with three long narrow strips of paper. After a lot of measuring, folding and gluing, I finished four and that was as far as I was going to go. I figure they will work well next month as Christmas decorations too :)
A land view of the Greenland settlement of Itivdleq (population - 89), located on an island just 2 km north of the Arctic Circle in Davis Strait.
This photo is part of probably the most strange and in retrospect the most agonizing behavior that we have ever seen in a predator.
It had rained that morning and the safari had been very uneventful.
Suddenly our guide heard nagging and shouting from monkeys in the bush.
Quickly the cause of the theater was identified:
this leopard had authorized a vervet monkey baby, probably the mother had "lost" it in the excitement - vervet monkeys carry their offspring under their bellies, the babys cling to their mother.
Instead of killing the baby quickly, the cat played with him.
The cat occasionally let go of the little one, only to bully him again a short time later. She bit down just so hard that the monkey was not hurt. She took it in her mouth, as if she were transporting her own offspring.
The cat apparently used the tiny one as bait in the intention that one of the adults would become careless and start a "rescue operation".
We watched this spectacle for 30 minutes. None of the monkeys got cocky and we left the "crime scene", because we had to our bushflight.
The cat had not killed the monkey until then.

The Hurlers stone circles are a group of 3 stone circles on Bodmin `Moor, Cornwall.
The name "Hurlers" derives from a legend, in which men were playing Cornish hurling on a Sunday and were magically transformed into stones as punishment.
“The living and the dead,
The awake and the sleeping,
The young and the old are all one and the same.
When the ones change, they become the others.
When those shift again, they become these again.
God is day and night.
God is winter and summer.
God is war and peace.
God is fertility and famine.
He transforms into many things.
Day and night are one.
Goodness and badness are one.
The beginning and the end of a circle are one.”
― Heraclitus
