The Tintina Trench is a linear valley, extending into Alaska and south across the Yukon. In May and September, it is a dramatic avian flyway. It is a huge migration corridor for sandhill cranes, tundra swans, peregrine falcons and numerous other bird species. The riverside cliffs, wetlands, marshes and muskegs provide suitable nesting sites for some of these species as well as offering plenty of food. The flight of the sandhill cranes is the most obvious and spectacular of the migrations. It is an awesome sight as over 200,000 of these large birds pass through here on their way to and from their tundra nesting grounds. The Tintina Trench is also home to a large number of wildlife species year-round, with a particularly large population of lynx. The numerous river tributaries that drain into the trench provide migration routes and spawning grounds for salmon.
I shot this image facing north over-looking the Yukon Plateau. The Yukon plateau has deep valleys, rounded mountains, and areas of permafrost, that have created "tilted" or "drunken forests". The vegetation is rich and diverse, and includes hardwoods, as well as soft woods. There are over a half dozen edible berries, and the ponds are dotted with the unique "yellow pond lily". Hot springs are also found in this region. It reminds me of a far north "Garden of Eden". As you stand looking out on the vast landscape - it tends to make you feel very very small, but it is an awesome sight and one that I wish everyone could experience.
I found the silver candelabrum to complete No. 2 Princess's Late Night Tea from the Re-ment 2008 Collection Princess Tea Party. (From Renatta's site: Notes Translated by Re-Ment: On beautifully moon lit nights, light the candles and have tea with her favorite tea set. Thank you Renatta for your wondrous site!)
I had to cobble two partial sets together to complete this. I'm still not sure why the tea set is all trimmed in gold and the candelabrum is silver.
I'm still missing one of the eight sets...No. 1, Crown Motif Set. It's the one with a tea set in a little castle box. I had it at one time and don't know what happened to it. I may have sold it when I got out of doll stuff for a while, sigh. I may always be missing it, because the last one I saw on ebay was $58!

I was finally able to find dowels small enough to fit in the leg pegs! Not sure what I was thinking at the time, but I glued two of the original legs back in place. I guess I thought I could’ve easily find replacements. We were close to a Dollar Tree and I decided to pop in.
The dowel had a loose fit, I had the thinnest width of masking tape and went around the base to make it fit. No glue needed!
I also have been searching for more of this thickness balsa wood. This was my last piece and I cut it wonky, but I needed it done! So I painted it a contrasting colors and really like it!! If I can cut a decent new door, maybe then I can figure out the gouge/chipped wood in the front.
Hoping to stage it properly in the coming weeks.

The 45-story Icon Las Olas with a total of 272 units will be constructed at the site of the former Hyde Park Market. When completed this building will the the tallest in the city of Fort Lauderdale.
Of course, for a project that had its original roots in 1999, there have been changes along the way. While originally intended to open as a condo, it may ultimately become high-end rental apartments. Depending on market conditions, Related Group may convert them to condos at a future point.
Fort Lauderdale had approved the project way back in December 2005, even when the housing boom was ending. The next door historical Stranahan House supporters weren't ready to accept the project as a neighbor, pursuing contrarian legal action to convert the site to a national park. But they didn't get to cover much ground; the case to convert was dismissed by an appeals court in 2011, and the project stalled during the housing market collapse.
When prices bottomed out in 2012, the market took a turn back toward increased construction. And Icon is now benefitting from the latest building boom. And from the conditions in Miami.
The Miami-Dade market is starting to get tapped out," said Peter Zalewski, head of CondoVultures consulting firm. "When Related goes [into Fort Lauderdale], other developers realize the game is on. Related also announced plans to turn the former Ireland's Inn on Fort Lauderale beach into more condos.
So the market has opened the path back to development. Are the community struggles (a.k.a. the tug-of-war between Stranahan and Icon) laid to rest, too?
The waters ahead look calm. The Sun Sentinel reports a response from Leo Hansen, president of the Stranahan board: "any animosity from the long legal battle has disappeared." Old and new can live together peacefully, right? Hansen believes so, saying that "our goal is to be good neighbors."

Completed blackwork sampler, embellished with gold and silver metallic threads, and gold, silver, & pearlized white seed beads. For 'Stitch and Surface' class.
A couple of complete customs and some modified official figures to create the Spider-Verse. Spider-Gwen is a space filler as I am still working on her, this is a figure from China. Only one decal used in these figures and that is Jefferson's mustache, borrowed from, the one and only, Lando Calrissian. Just want to thank Uubergeek for printing two of the figures directly on the LEGO parts. Anyone want to build Peni's mech and I will create the figure! All other details can be found in Brick Journal!
Origami Giganotosaurus Final Version
Design by: Shuki Kato
Folded from: one 21" square of O-gami
Size: 15" long
Time spent folding: Approx. 15 hours
This serie to share the progress about this second attempt at doing something "original", also to figure out how my brain works when I build. What obstacles I face during the design process and how I overcome them.
So I ended up making a greebly pipe nonsense to complete the build. Not really original but I like it this way. Subtle changes may occur but it should be very close from the final product.
Next entry, we start with real parts.
Also, what I ripp...eh I mean what inspired me for this build:
- NDF Destroyers by Daemoria for the first half and color scheme.
- Valyrian Battleship Bloodraven by Dasnewten for the back.
- Siberia from seb71 for the blue stripes.
- The Eleventh Hour from Daniel Barwegen for some greebles.
- Dragonfly Command Cruiser by Pierre E Fieschi for the sensor mess (use of the ring part).
Another element of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for Artemis II is poised for flight. Technicians joined the core stage March 23 with the stacked solid rocket boosters for the mission at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Teams with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Program and primary contractor Amentum used one of the five overhead cranes inside the spaceport’s Vehicle Assembly Building to lift the rocket stage from the facility’s transfer aisle to High Bay 3, where it was secured between the booster segments atop the launch tower.
In thi image, Artemis II Core Stage is lifted into High Bay 3 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center on Sunday, March 23, 2025.

After weeks of renovation, the downstairs room of the dollhouse addition is ready to furnish. This room served as a millinery shop when the addition was originally part of this house (I was 18). Since it has an exterior door, it may serve as a shop again sometime. I considered adding a fireplace along this wall like I did in each room of the main house, but I decided not to due to space. I regret that decision a little, but happy to have a full wall.

History
This timber hall was completed in 1936 at Boonarga, a small settlement approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) southeast of Chinchilla. The hall was erected as a monument to the cactoblastis moth which overcame prickly pear in Queensland and New South Wales during the late 1920s and early 1930s.
The appearance of prickly pear in Queensland has been attributed to a small number of prickly pear plants brought to Queensland c. 1843 as garden plants. By 1862 prickly pear was growing in the Chinchilla district and spread rapidly in areas where land holdings were extensive and population relatively low.
Prickly pear was declared a noxious weed in Queensland in 1893. By 1900 approximately 10,000,000 acres (4,000,000 ha) were affected by prickly pear; an area which had extended to an estimated 58,000,000 acres (23,000,000 ha) by 1920. About half of this area was so densely covered by prickly pear that the land was useless for production. The costs of mechanical and chemical methods of eradication exceeded the value of the land and therefore did not prove economically viable for controlling the spread of prickly pear.
In 1912, the Queensland government established an experimental station in the heart of prickly pear country at Dulacca under the direction of a full-time scientist. The biologist chosen to establish and run this experimental station was Dr. Jean White-Haney. These investigations were regarded as "a great experiment in scientific research"; an experiment which was considered almost unique at this time. The progress of these investigations was followed by the international scientific community.
In 1925, 3000 cactoblastis eggs were imported from South America. These eggs were divided between the Sherwood laboratory, and the Chinchilla Field Station which had been established in 1923 as one of four Queensland field stations responsible for rearing and distributing insect supplies. The first prickly pear plant was destroyed by the cactoblastis moth at Chinchilla in September 1926. The last extensive area of prickly pear in Queensland was destroyed in 1933, and the Chinchilla Field Station was closed at the end of 1936.
The Chinchilla district was one of many areas which experienced renewed prosperity as land cleared of prickly pear was utilised for agriculture and dairying pursuits.
Proposals to erect a hall at Boonarga were first discussed in July 1934, at which time a public meeting was held and a Hall Committee appointed. Land for the proposed hall was donated by Mrs Fahey, a resident of Boonarga. In October 1934 the Committee decided to name the hall the Boonarga Cactoblastis Memorial Hall in honour of the cactoblastis moth. Finance for the hall was arranged through the Bank of New South Wales in Chinchilla with a number of Boonarga residents acting as guarantors.
Tenders for the erection of the hall were called by the Committee in June 1935. Although a tender was recommended for acceptance, tenders were reinvited in July 1935. The hall was built by local builder Mr Jack Schloss, at a cost of £435 and opened in February 1936 by Godfrey Morgan, Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. A gala ball was held to mark the occasion.
Alterations to the hall in 1963 included the addition of the second aisle on the southeastern side of the hall. A new dance floor was laid c. 1985. The hall is presently used as a venue for dances, meetings and other functions.

I like it. Sadly, I am not really able to photograph the pleasure these sets give me in real life. There is just too much to see, and is is all too cramped to get good shots.
There are lots of small hidden corners, benches, peek-through points and everything that would make a walk in a park like this enjoyable,
I made a few changes during and after the build. Blue 16x16 and 8x16 plates underneath instead of the Technics beams, and after the first photo (15-a), I removed some roof ornaments in light grey.
6 small sets make up this large park. Each set around 400 bricks, in total 2479 bricks. Quite a few spares, but I had 4 bricks missing too (easily replaced y Lego bricks).
As I'd recently worn the black and white versions of this long sunray pleated skirt, I thought I'd spend some time in the 3rd one I have which is in a shade of red.
