Complete with fondant prawns and mussels and a wedge of lemon all in a black fondant paella pan!
Each birthday, one of my obsessions gets turned into a cake! The girls have excelled themselves again (see the cakes set that this picture is in to look at past cakes!)
I do look forward to these cakes but I mus say that my birthdays seem to be getting alarmingly close together as I get older!
Completing, for the moment, shots with this plant.........maybe.
This particular species is otherwise known as St.Johnswort which has 11 native species. As shown the berries are just appearing on my plant.
Without mentioning herbal properties the St. Johnswort is made into incense for those scared of the 'evil eye' and is worn as a bracelet or placed in doorways as protection against evil..........
Completed in 1701 and originally part of a Carmelite convent, it was confiscated in 1792 by French Revolutionary forces who drove out the nuns and de-consecrated it.
Many aristocratic families left at the same time, including the Mazenods, who were living up the street until they fled to Italy. Some twenty-five years later their son Eugène, by then a novice priest, returned to Aix and acquired the abandoned church as a base for his project of establishing an organization to help marginalized people in Provence.
The organization soon became known as the Oblate Missionaries, and now works in over 60 countries. This chapel remains their international home, and features a statue of their founder, Eugène de Mazenod - now a saint - inside.
Finally grouted my guitar. The photos don't ever do iridized glass justice. Most of the glass on this is iridized. It turned out really nice. I'm happy with it. I just have more cleaning to do....:o(
Surprise - when you move your mug, you're greeted with a little butterfly!
What do you think, partner? Bright and cheery enough for you on a gloomy day?
First attempt at capturing a star trail under the expert tutelage of Eric Mc Donald and Mark T . This shot was taken at Black Tor on Dartmoor and consists of some 90 frames, stacked and blended in Photoshop. The orange and red glows at the bottom of the image are caused by ambient light coming from Princetown and the mast at North Hessary Tor.
#Tulabelle COMPLETE!!! Okay here's the tea, I wasn't feeling her at first but omg wow!! I love her! She's iconic and colorful glam!!!
After completing the run-round manoeuvre (see previous image), Class 58 No. 58031 heads away from Bloxwich and approaches Sneyd Lane bridge with the empty MGR rake for Essington Wood Disposal Point on 15th July 1986. The 'new' Bloxwich station, which opened in 1989, is now located by the bridge in the background. It replaced the earlier station, which closed in January 1965, which was located beyond the background bridges close to the signal box seen in the previous image.

I have now fully completed the cutting that runs at the back of the station throat/engine shed and turntable area.
I placed plenty of foliage over the green plates, that are layered upon technic bars and framework, so as to break up the straight edges.
It's a bit of a steep hill for the road but as space is at a premium I've had to truncate the real area some what inorder to fit. I've added 2x Maple trees, 2x Popular trees and a Service tree to the cutting and the old Oak next to the houses.
I've now to build the turntable well, water tank/coaling stage and engine shed.

Completado ya mi primer proyecto fotográfico, ha sido fácil y difícil, días que en una sola foto tenía el día hecho y días de desesperación pero todos los días superados... Siempre intentando comerme el tarro para conseguir fotografías diferentes, intentando variar, no ser cansino con un solo tema, me he pasado con los desenfoques...lo sé, pero es que me encantan.
Un año intenso en el que mi dedicación a la fotografía ha sido plena e intensa... Cuando me preguntan a ver cuanto tiempo le dedico, me pasa la cabeza... las 24 horas al día,hasta de cuando dormimos podemos sacar, posibles fotos, simplemente de un sueño, motivo: es una adicción, un hobbie que como te enganche y quieras ir superándote día a día necesita su dedicación. Cuando consigo una cosa ya no me motiva, quiero otra, son mini retos personales, quizás el ser inconformista, virtud o defecto, depende como se mire.
Del proyecto puedo decir que es una gran forma de aprender cosas porque te obliga a tener que pensar, depende el nivel de autoexigencia que tenga cada uno. Pero requiere muchísimo tiempo.
Un año en el que he conocido gente fantástica, de la cual he aprendido mil cosas, cada fotógrafo somos un mundo diferente.
Un año en que tengo inmortalizados momentos, recuerdos de cada día ver una foto y recordar. Simplemente fotografía, que no se necesita que una fotografía bonita para recordar... días alegres, días tristes, sentimientos, emociones... Fotografías que te sacan una sonrisa, fotografías que te saltan las lagrimas.
Dar las gracias a toda la gente que ha estado ahí siguiéndome, apoyándome en varios bajoncillos que he tenido... Gente que conocía ya de antes del proyecto y gente que os he ido conociendo mientras he ido completando días... Muchas gracias a todos...
Gracias a esa persona que estuvo hasta la mitad del proyecto y que tanto me aguantó con las fotos.
Dar las gracias a Medialuna85 la principal motivadora, de unos meses aquí... Solo se nos ocurre a nosotros, retos de una palabra una fotografía... una locura... Un añadido más a este proyecto... Una encantadora persona con un gran corazón.
Gracias a mis padres, por ayudar a dar ideas ( porque no le sacar una foto a esto) y yo comiéndome la cabeza como sacar una foto a una simple esponja, una varilla de esas pasteleras... muchas cosas... mis abstractos de la cocina XD. Mi hermano y cuñada también, gracias por aguantarme a dejaros a hacer fotos... Paciencia es poca la que tenéis conmigo.
Ahora me veo mas capacitado que hace para enfrentarme a este gran mundo y seguir aprendiendo.
El motivo del la foto de mi ojo es porque de el han salido todas y cada una de mis fotos. El es el culpable tanto para lo bueno como para lo malo.
Nos seguiremos viendo pero ya sin la presión de tener que subir fotos para completar días...
Un placer.

On Christmas Eve (24/12) 2024, 2122s (Aurizon wagon transfer) is seen approaching the Beaumont road bridge, Yantaringa (SA) with alf22 hauling wagon QQYY 57966 & GM37. The wagon was removed from 4PM1 on 20/12 & placed on the dead end siding at Balhannah. With access to the dead end siding being at the Melbourne end of Balhannah yard, a top & tail arrangement took place.
I needed to correct the impression from my previous platypus shot that tails were optional! Here you can see the "beaver" tail clearly, but not some of the dangerous sharp bits attached to the hind legs because I don't know if this is a male or female.

For Botanical Garden of Moscow State University.
It has a big leafs and adorable flowers with a little green heart-shaped spot.
Hurrah, all details are there (except fruits that are very rare and seeds I could not find). It took 41 hour or almost 5 work days. Yeah, this one is the fullest pic I ever done...
This picture is also the first one I've done with Botanical Garden binoculare loupe. It was so exciting :)
After shoving their train into the clear at the west end of the yard in Grand Rapids, the power heads back to the main before changing ends and going to the other end to grab their train for the trip back.
The big Blandin Paper mill which is the reason for this trains existence puts out steam in the distance.
Went up to Zion in December 2006 after Merrie's foot surgery. This is the time to go if you wish to avoid crowds.
This is my completed Supernova quilt. I call mine a babynova because all of the fabric squares and rectangles were cut at half the original pattern size. The finished quilt measures 26.5" square. It is hand quilted with black perle cotton size 8. This was a wonderfully put together quilt along hosted by the talented Lee of www.freshlypieced.blogspot.com.

Be like a bird. who halting in her flight
On a limb too slight, feels it give way beneath her,
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings
Thanks so much to everyone for the well wishes on Explore. The volume of the response prevented me from replying individually but it is very appreciated. <3 Bec
NHN's pair of GP38-2's hauls their sixteen car train up the runner this afternoon in a fairly intense snow squall. Trains have been short lately, giving a slightly better chance at shooting the southbound before darkness settles. It would be a straight shot to Dover today, although they did come north with 22 gas and 2 steel cars this morning.
I couldn't really bend in the right way to get a clear picture that I liked, so I will just post the ones that are good, so you can get the "picture".
All I can say, is that this hurt so fucking bad. I have lots of tattoos, and hours upon hours of work, but for whatever reason, yesterday was NOT my day.

The Idaho State Capitol in Boise is the home of the government of the state of Idaho. Although Lewiston, Idaho, briefly served as Idaho's capital from the formation of Idaho Territory in 1863, the territorial Legislature moved the capital to Boise on December 24, 1864.
Construction of the first portion of the capitol building began in the summer of 1905, 15 years after Idaho gained statehood. Architects were John E. Tourtellotte and Charles Hummel. Tourtellotte was a Connecticut native whose career began in Massachusetts and skyrocketed further when he moved to Boise. Hummel was a German immigrant who partnered with Tourtellotte in 1903. The final cost of the building was just over $2 million; it was completed in 1920. The architects used varied materials to construct the building and their design was inspired by Classical examples.
Tourtellotte and Hummel used four types of marble: red marble from Georgia, gray marble from Alaska, green marble from Vermont, and black marble from Italy. Architectural inspirations included St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, St Paul's Cathedral in London and the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The most prominent feature of the capitol is its dome. Surmounting this dome is a bronze eagle, 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall. The capitol building is 208 feet (63 m) high, occupies an area of 201,720 square feet (18,740 m2), and contains over 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of artistically carved marble.
There are 219 pillars in the original building – Doric, Corinthian, or Ionic – and each pillar is made up of marble dust, plaster and scagliola. Scagliola is a mixture of granite, marble dust, gypsum and glue dyed to look like marble. This artificial marble was created by a family of artisans in Italy.
On the first floor of the capitol building, when looking upward to the dome, 13 large stars and 43 smaller stars can be seen. The 13 large stars represent the thirteen original colonies and the 43 smaller stars indicate that Idaho was the forty-third state to enter the union. The floor contains a compass rose. In its center is a sundial that has minerals found in Idaho. The first floor also houses a statue called the Patriot by Kenneth Lonn, for those who worked in the mining industry.
The second floor may be accessed via three entrances; from the east, the south and the west. The lieutenant governor’s office is located in the west wing, just opposite the governor’s office. On the north side of the second floor rotunda is a sculpture of George Washington astride a horse. And to the rear of the George Washington statue is the attorney general’s suite of offices. The space was home of the Idaho Supreme Court until it moved to the new Supreme Court Building in 1970. The east wing houses the office of the secretary of state offices in whose reception area is the official copy of the Great Seal of the State of Idaho.
The third floor contains the Senate in the west wing and the House of Representatives in the east wing. The two chambers were remodeled in 1968. Also on this floor is the old Idaho Supreme Court room, now used for hearings and committee meetings of the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee. On the fourth floor are balcony entrances to the senate and house galleries. The galleries enable members of the public to watch the Legislature while it is in session. The northeast, northwest and southwest corners of this floor contain many historic paintings as well as three murals by Dana Boussard.

After three years of restoration that covered the 150-year old dome of the Capitol in scaffolding, the $60 million project was completed this week.
Workers had to repair 1,300 cracks and fix or replace cast-iron ornaments.
One goal of the project was that it be finished in time for the presidential inauguration in January.
Now let's wait for the congress that will fill the exquisite shell - it is up to them to truly justify the expenditure!
Nic Narcessian arrived and now that she is on her body she is complete. And that, ladies and gentlemen is the process in which a new character is added to the world of Maxine. Many thanks to Rachael/JemGirl and Nicole/Nikkadee for their amazing work in making this doll a reality, and also Andrew S for helping name her.
I've been living and shooting along the Norfolk Southern Lurgan Branch for six years now and I've shot every regularly scheduled train except for the nocturnal H58. The second trick local originates out of the yard in Shiremanstown on the Shippensburg Secondary and enters the Lurgan at LG 3. The push-pull train works the customers between there and CP Lees Cross Roads and is usually done work by dawn. One late night after work I heard the crew on the radio say they would be working Lane Enterprises, a plastic pipe manufacturer that gets plastic pellets by covered hopper at LG 35. I also heard the eastbound unit was a former Southern Railway high-hood GP38-2 and it would be running long-hood forward, so I knew that night would be the night I'd stay up and cross this train off my list. The moon was rising into a hazy, humid sky at 4AM as the train stopped just east of the Lane siding. The conductor is walking to the head-end after putting the train back together as the engineer charges up the air and gets ready to head back to the yard.

History and heritage
Because classroom space was in short supply, a hall was considered a luxury for Canterbury College. The Great Hall opened to both acclaim and controversy on Diploma Day 1882.
In its early years, it housed the College’s small library and was used for public lectures and formal graduation ceremonies. Over time, the University allowed greater use of the hall for events such as music recitals, student dances and society gatherings. Prior to the earthquakes, the great hall held a wide range of events and performances year-round.
The Great Hall provides a strong reflection of local heritage and culture. It makes rich use of native timbers, with kauri and rimu panelling, along with rewarewa, totara and matai lozenges.
It provides space for memorial plaques and icons, the first of which was dedicated to Helen Connon, the first woman to graduate with honours in the British Empire.
In 1938, a large stained glass window was dedicated to the sacrifices of College students in the First World War. This Memorial Window was rededicated in 2016 after its restoration following the Canterbury earthquakes.
