In my continued luck with capturing birds this summer, this is a male-juvenile which would have turned all red probably within a week or two of my photo.

Spotted on the edge of woods and field and I almost passed it buy thinking it was another cardinal.

Continuing the story of Miss Rosebud. I looked up Miss Rosebud dolls on the net and found lots of photos. The little outfit she is wearing is her original outfit! I had no idea- until I found a photo of another Miss Rosebud in a red corduroy dress and bonnet. I couldn’t believe it - I’ve got several other similar size dolls and they have all worn this outfit in the last..ahem..60 years. But never Miss Rosebud - poor thing I hope she didn’t mind too much. I’ve given her some hair. From some angles, I honestly think shes smiling!

A study of a painting by Joseph Wright of Derby.

Awful quality, but couldn't bring myself to delete it : ) This Snowy Owl, seen way off down the road, decided to take off just when I clicked. I like my owls to be sitting still - I know most people want in-flight shots of birds, especially owls. Taken at Focal Length (35mm format) - 1200 mm, and then cropped. I love those mighty wings.

 

Yesterday, 14 January 2017, I drove to Fish Creek Park to meet with others to go east of the city, looking for birds. Everywhere looked so pretty down by the river when I arrived, with everything covered in frost and a thick layer of mist rising from the water.

 

I think there were about 8 cars in convoy, as we headed eastward, out of the city. For much of the day, birding was extremely slow, especially as we were not seeing any owls : ) As the day wore on, several cars returned to the city.

 

The first owl to be seen was a Great Horned Owl, perched in a row of trees alongside the road. It was so well hidden by a tangle of thin twigs and branches, making it impossible to photograph, but still a treat to see.

 

Eventually, we saw our first Snowy Owl at 2:30 pm, perched on a very distant fence post. A second Snowy was seen 15 to 20 minutes later, again very, very distant. Then, shortly before the trip ended, the friends in the car in which I was travelling, decided to go back to a certain area to see if we could see any Short-eared Owls. On the way there, we spotted another Snowy Owl (seen in this photo), on a power pole way, way down the road. Managed to get a quick couple of very distant shots before it flew off to hunt. I had found no Snowy Owls or Short-eared Owls the previous afternoon, when I had gone there on my own. This time, we spotted two Short-eared Owls, perched far, far away along a fence line. Useless for photos, though.

 

Thanks so much for driving the whole day, Carolyn - greatly appreciated by all of us! So glad you wanted to stay a bit longer than the actual trip, as we had a few lucky sightings, even if they were all very distant. A beautiful, sunny day to be out, too, and thankfully the deep-freeze had just ended.

 

Thanks so much, Terry, for organizing this trip! It always makes for a very enjoyable day out. Nice to see a few other birds, too, including Horned Larks and Snow Buntings.

Continuing my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a stop in Patagonia Arizona. This is stage 5 of 9. I met up with my best friend from high school who has retired here because of the birding. I stayed at the Stage Stop Inn and we ate at Velvet Elvis. Lamont Arthur entertained us with his original works on jazz piano.

This magical place is a feast to the senses filled with original art and color inspired by the spirit of neighboring Mexico.

And more than a place of food and drink, Velvet Elvis at La Misión is an experience of joy brought to life by whimsy and color—an allegory celebrating the area’s border culture and the owner herself.

 

Haiku (sort of) thoughts: (Jack Kerouac showed me that I can take some liberties with my hiaku. Maybe I should try a limerick)

In Patagonia's glow,

Velvet Elvis serves delight,

Friendship warms the soul.

HBM! Happy Bench Monday

 

Continuing my look back at some Alder Valley bus depot visits from the 1980s and early 1990s.

 

Here we see the Newbury depot in November 1987.

Continuing the series of neo 90s space factions.

 

The Spyrius robot has no modifications because to me it's one of the absolute best minifigs Lego ever produced (my other favourites - Merlin/Majisto, Wolfpack, the original 80s Peasant, the original 80s Blacksmith, Red and White Classic Space, and Ice Planet 2002 figures).

A duo of IC SD70s lead CN L509 north through Plainfield, IL.

Continuing Magic of Blue Hour and 'Little Planets' series...

 

It was a beautiful blue hour on our Toronto planet. It felt romantic and jazzy, a bit dramatic and airy...

Definitely it inspired me to use my globular digi-magic and textures to create this planetoid :-)

Continuing my 2017 Christmas theme of rusticallity. THE tree went up yesterday.

This is how streets of Charminar look on the eve of Eid (Ramdan)...I jus love to visit it particular during that day...as one can gets to feel the true spirit of Eid...where ppl jus flok around these roads to get the best deal .

 

Its sad to see the city (or state) to be on crossroads of uncertainty for separate state issues.

Some time ago I realized that is no longer necessary to keep pretending. Gone are the days in which I was falling into the trap of trying pleasing everyone, now I can shout it from the rooftops, I'm not willing to play a different role than myself!...

Summer continues back at home

I changed the upload date just to tell you that this serie continues here.

19 years and a month old & still capable of putting in a full day's work is First Glasgow's sole remaining Plaxton President-bodied Dennis Trident out of a fleet that once numbered in the hundreds: LT02 NWC (33120; based out of Caledonia depot). Caught here crossing Glasgow Bridge with a early-evening 57A to Kennishead. Note the McGill's ex-Kinchbus Citaro (BF67 WHR/3366) in hot pursuit.

 

120 is notable for two reasons, it's one of 7 Presidents (6 Volvo B7TLs currently work out of Scotstoun, numbered 32300-305) and one of 6 'classic' Tridents (in addition to 5 ALX400s) still hanging on. It owes it's continued survival in large part to social distancing and the need for extra deckers that comes with it. Even without this factored in, the fact that it's outlived all it's brethern by over 2 years is in itself remarkable. It's for these reasons that 120 has become borderline mythical within the Glaswegian spotting community, being photographed wherever it goes. It has also gone some way to discredit the long-held belief that the Trident wasn't as robust as it's step-entrance forebearers.

 

With new all-electric deckers now in the pipeline, the writing now seems to be on the wall for the surviving Tridents. Precisely how much longer they will last remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: they owe nothing to no-one.

 

Photo Date: 21st April 2021

Love and Happiness is only nurtured through Care and Support... wish you and your loved ones a joyous prosperous new year.

A pair of GE's lead an eastbound manifest freight near Stanley, North Dakota a few days ago on a cold and windy winter day. Even though #709 was never adorned in true Santa Fe paint since it was built a bit after the merger, it's still a nice flashback to my younger days prior to BNSF. It's a "fakebonnett" that hasn't aged badly since being built in 1997, continuing to look good as a leader. (2-15-2024)

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oKwnkYFsiE&feature=related

  

Main story

 

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

What is a good composition? What is a bad composition?

What is the time to point the camera? It is slow if you are looking into the viewfinder or display.

youtu.be/b1o6Xf-Mjhw?t=1662

 

11

Family photos. I can not take pictures with others. The inside of the subject.

youtu.be/b1o6Xf-Mjhw?t=1745

3 Challenge to exhibit one work every month before opening a solo exhibition at the Harajuku Design Festa.

 

4 works are materials and silhouettes. Similar to fashion.

 

5 Who is your favorite artist? What is it? Make it clear.

 

6 Creating a collage is exactly the same as taking photos. As I wrote in the interview, it is the same as writing a novel.

 

7 I want to show it to someone, but I do not make a piece to show it. Aim for the work you want to decorate your own room as in the photo.

 

8 What is copycat? Nowadays, it is suspected to be beaten. There is something called Mimesis?

Explanation of composition. 2

   

I used the following cameras.

  

Nikon coolpix 8700

  

I defeated two of these cameras.

It was a very nice camera.

I took many photos with this camera.

  

Today's photo.

It was also taken with this camera.

 

I explained the composition in detail in the text at the time of shooting.

 

I have taken a lot of pictures until today.

Among them, this photo is the result of sharpening my sensitivity.

 

I will explain this composition in a video.

But they are all Japanese.

  

Is there a Japanese beside you?

Is there anyone who can understand Japanese beside you?

  

Please have them translate.

  

I leave an important story about composition.

I hope they will reach many people.

    

October 22, 2019, midnight.

 あらすじ

 大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。

 上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。

 そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。

 大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。

 「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」

 ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。

  

本編

 

人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。

 ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。

 もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。

 二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。

 再生だ。

 明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。

 それが再生の意味だ。

 

 十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

Columbian Ground Squirrel / Urocitellus columbianus.

 

Continuing with photos from my older archives and more recent archives.

 

November 21, 2024: our winter weather continues, with more snow and fairly cold days. Before too long, I am going to have to make myself go out! I keep putting it off, day after day. Can't complain, though, as mild, fall weather lasted well into November, which was wonderful.

 

I will add the description that I wrote under a different, previously posted image taken on the same date.

 

The link below is to a 4:34 minutes video by the BBC. If you have never seen this before, you'll understand why I posted this link with this photo (of a Columbian Ground Squirrel seen in Waterton town). It makes me laugh every time I see it.

 

youtu.be/j5mHjpwitIA

 

"To have the chance to visit Waterton Lakes National Park five days ago, on 24 June 2017, was such an absolute treat! This was an annual bus trip arranged by Nature Calgary, with the destination being different each year. To visit Waterton for just one day does make for a very long day, though - takes about 3 hours to drive each way, for a start.

 

"Waterton Lakes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also an International Peace Park, and a Biosphere Reserve. No other park in the world has these three designations. Waterton Biosphere Reserve as it is officially called, was designated in 1979 under what is called the internationally recognized "Man and the Biosphere program" of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), that sure is a mouthful. Biosphere Reserves are designed to promote and demonstrate a balanced relationship between people and nature."

 

www.wediscovercanadaandbeyond.ca/2010/11/red-rock-canyon-...

 

We had two main stopping places in the park - the lookout at Maskinonge Lake and a longer stop at Cameron Lake. The views from both places are spectacular. Luckily, we had beautiful weather all day.

 

Actually, we weren't too sure if the road going through the mountains to Cameron Lake was going to be open. It was due to reopen the day before out trip and, fortunately, the gate was open. Once at Cameron Lake, we found an empty picnic table right near the beach, and ate our picnic lunch. We were able to walk along the forest trail that followed the shoreline on the right edge of the lake. At a certain point, one has to turn around and go back along the same trail. Cameron Lake is one of my favourite places in the park, with a beautiful view of the lake and a pleasant, flat walk through the forest. There didn't seem to be a lot of forest wildflower species in bloom - maybe we were just a bit too early for them. However, the huge, creamy white flowers of Bear Grass growing along the edge of the road up to the lake had everyone in absolute awe. The road is only narrow and our bus was huge, so on the drive there, all we could do was gasp in amazement, with no chance for taking photos. We asked our excellent driver if there was any chance he would be willing and able to stop at one of the very small pull-offs at the edge of the road on the return drive - and he did! He was expecting maybe five or six people would get off, but I think almost everyone wanted to get a close look at these amazing plants. Even the driver himself got out to look and take photos. He had apparently never been to Waterton before and had never seen Bear Grass. We noticed tiny Crab Spiders on two of the flowers; one was lying in wait and the other had caught an insect. These spiders don't construct webs, but camouflage themselves by changing their colour to that of the flower they are hiding in, and then they wait. We also saw several stems of Striped Coralroot orchid in the ditch by some of the Bear Grass.

 

After spending a couple of hours at Cameron Lake, the driver took us back into town, as some people had said they wanted to eat there before the long drive back to Calgary. Others, including myself, would have preferred to have spent the time somewhere else, seeing nature and taking photos. However, we were able to walk to the lake's edge, from where we were able to take a few scenic photos - something I had been hoping for. On our way back to the bus, some of us called in at a very popular ice cream shop - we all agreed it was the best, tastiest ice cream we had ever had! A huge, single scoop of wild cherry in a waffle cone - what more could one want?

 

Penny, you did a great job of organizing this wonderful trip for us all! I know a lot of work goes into setting up an outing like this, and we all appreciate the time and effort you put into planning this. Such a perfect destination for this year's annual bus trip! Pam, thanks for your company on this long drive - helped make it far more enjoyable!"

Continuing with my Halloween series, this is from Walt Disney Worlds 'The Haunted Mansion'.

 

Happy 'Tricks or Treats' to everyone!

Continuing to purge old autumn pics, I come to this one. There is nothing wonderful about the photo, but I want to show the old, log structure by the trees. There are a lot of these buildings remaining in the Ottawa Valley. I took this somewhere along the backroads of Lanark County last autumn.

but this time with a little bit more concentration on the Aristoc Sensuous Deep Lace Top stockings - which I just love wearing

CSX Q016 continues its journey eastbound after a recrew at Connellsville, PA

"Victory at home, and victory abroad."

Continuing this chase we again see CSXT train M427 (Rigby to Selkirk manifest) westbound on their former Pan Am Railways nee Boston and Maine Worcester mainline. They are are crossing the long causeway at MP WOR 16 (former MP X10) beside the Stillwater River which is an arm of Wachusett Reservoir that was completed in 1905 and necessitated relocation of the railroad and the building of this fill and some stone arch bridges prior to the filling of the reservoir in 1908.

 

Rising beyond the train poking above the tree tops is the white spire of the 1859 Oakdale United United Methodist Church, the only West Boylston church still in its original building and active on its original site that survived the building of the Wachusett reservoir.

 

Oakdale was once an important and busy junction where the east west Central Massachusetts line crossed. The construction of the reservoir also led to the elimination of six miles of the Central Mass line east of here to Berlin. The diamond was removed and through traffic on the Central Mass shared the Worcester line to Clinton where a newly constructed route ran east via a high viaduct and tunnel on to a connection with the original Central Mass in West Berlin. However the importance of that route waned and the Central Mass was taken out of service west of here to Rutland in 1938 and a year later was formerly abandoned 24 miles to the west as far as the mill in Wheelwright which would now only be accessed from the west via Northampton. After that date Oakdale ceased to be a junction though to this day the scars on the land still distinctly show where the wye connection was back on the other side of the causeway near the rear of the train.

 

The train has a nice consist in the form of CSXT 8040 (EMD SD40-2 blt. Jul. 1979 for the SCL with the same number and dressed in family lines paint), CSXT 478 (GE AC4400CW blt. Sep. 2000 and still wearing its as delivered bright future livery) and MEC 3402 (EMD SD40-2 blt. Apr. 1973 as QNSL 254) in Pan Am blue dip.

"The F40 continued the extreme machine philosophy cultivated by its predecessor the GTO, but took it to new levels. It was greeted with great enthusiasm by enthusiasts and the number of examples eventually built exceeded the company’s wildest dreams. During the mid eighties there were various spy pictures in motoring magazines of a radical prototype(s) around the streets of Maranello, with all sorts of hypothesis as to its raison d’etre. It subsequently transpired that the car was what became known as the “Evoluzione”, a test bed for the upcoming F40..."

Quiet please, future International Space Station commander in training. ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti prepares for her upcoming mission to the International Space Station at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas, USA.

 

Samantha is a member of Crew-4 and will launch with NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Bob Hines to the Station from Florida, USA, on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft in 2022.

 

This will be Samantha’s second mission in space after Futura in 2015 and she is expected to serve as Space Station commander for Expedition 68a, a first for her. Her experience will stand her in good stead as Europe’s first female in command of an International Space Station expedition.

 

Samantha said “I am humbled by my appointment to the position of commander and look forward to drawing on the experience I’ve gained in space and on Earth to lead a very capable team in orbit.”

She will be ESA’s fifth International Space Station commander and the fourth from ESA’s astronaut class of 2009.

 

Her nomination comes at a significant moment for European nationals of all genders, as ESA issues a rare call for new astronauts. The deadline for applications to ESA’s astronaut selection has just been extended to 18 June 2021, to accommodate the addition of Lithuania as an ESA Associate Member. For more information about ESA’s astronaut selection visit Your Way To Space.

 

In the meantime, Samantha will continue training with all International Space Station partners in a programme that includes Space Station refreshers, science briefings, and Crew-4 launch preparation.

 

Watch a replay of a recent chat between Samantha and ESA Director of Human and Robotic Exploration, David Parker, in which the pair answer some questions concerning her upcoming mission.

Rebar installation

Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or reinforcement steel, is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.

 

River District, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

I am continuing my browse through my photo archives and I have noticed a theme that regularly emerges at some stage in my cross-dressing sessions. Part of me is thrilled by that and part of me is embarrassed and part of me questions the motivation behind it. If my narratives irritate then I suggest stop reading now as I have another scenario I am musing over and intrigued by.

 

In this photo I am clearly trying to be sexy and alluring and attractive to men. I am an heterosexual male so why am I doing this?

 

Since my early cross-dressing days, I started to cross-dress at the age of 41 nearly fifteen years ago, I have seen a very definite theme in that I have dressed in certain clothing and posed in a way that can only be described as sexual. In my early days there was a period when I was dressing in a way that looking back now resembles ones expectations of how a prostitute may appear. I also recall I was highly aroused by my cross-dressing back then and had some very intense pleasurable moments. I see no point in denying any of this as the reality is I did it, it happened.

 

I have noticed on browsing through transvestite pictures that I am far from alone in having at some point dressed in the provocative sexual style of a prostitute. I fact I cannot help but note that such pictures are very popular receiving high viewing numbers on transvestite photo pages. It seems a lot of cross-dressers are captivated by others cross-dressing in such a way.

 

I won’t deny that I find it rather exciting to dress in a sexy style and enjoyed the erotic nature of doing so and posing for a photo. I can acknowledge now I did want men to be attracted to me and excited by my female appearance. I loved the idea I may be able to do this.

 

This brings me back to one of my recurring themes in my narratives regarding sexuality. On the face of it dressing up like a prostitute and posing in a picture and hopefully stirring excitement in men is surely the act of an homosexual man? I say no, it is I believe the act of an heterosexual man.

 

My view is that what lies behind transvestites going for this look and provocative posing is our own male sexual fantasies. Most transvestites deny any kind of sexual arousal is involved in their cross-dressing. At some stage in one’s years of cross-dressing I feel fairly certain there was a definite sexual element and masturbation involved. This can cause dismay and guilt and self loathing after it has occurred, I definitely experienced such feelings. However, as one evolves with their transvestism and grows older it is easier to be more accepting of oneself and start to enjoy the experience with the sexual aspect and some of the earlier style choices diminishing.

 

I do feel that our male fantasies about the ideal woman affects our approach to how we cross-dress. We may be men dressing up as women but for the majority of us we are most definitely heterosexual men; as is fairly accepted now most transvestites are not homosexual. That is not a definitive statement as there can be other factors behind ones desire to dress and look female. In my case I am an heterosexual male but I do have a definite transsexual aspect to me but not strong enough to dominate. I will admit I enjoy the dressing up and the illusion and the knowledge I am really a man. The transsexual side I feel puts in me in the ball park so to speak of why I desire to spend time as a woman now and again.

 

I think cross-dressing has a lot of the male fantasy about women involved in it. We often wear outfits and make style choices real women would not choose themselves, We frequently dress to suit our inner fantasies rather than real world female appearances. Let me be clear I am not condemning this, I will admit I like to indulge in my fantasies now and again despite knowing I am being unrealistic, it’s fun and yes, can be pleasurable.

 

I conducted an experiment with some female friends and showed them a few pictures that were hugely popular with transvestites, often with comments such as ‘totally convincing’, you get the idea. Interestingly they found them anything but convincing. The pictures they preferred were ones that indeed looked more realistic and real world but it was noted were not being viewed much. It seems that utterly convincing, passing one hundred percent in the outside world as a woman in a totally realistic way is not what most of us aspire to even if we think we do. Only a minority pursue this and do well . The majority go in for overtly feminine, more towards glamorous looks and often with a high degree of sexual fantasy such as mini skirts, very high heels, heavy make-up, long hair styles, long painted nails, posing in lingerie, adopting provocative expressions and poses. I see this all the time and I have even done this myself quite a lot over the years. Still don’t believe it’s motivated by sexual fantasy? I rather think it is, I rather do.

 

I fully expect this post to be unpopular and draw a high degree of negative responses but I like to talk openly about my transvestism when I can so please bear in mind this is my own view I do not expect agreement. I do feel though we can be less than honest with ourselves about why we engage in cross-dressing and I think the whole taboo around the sexual aspects, which many deny vehemently, does exist for a lot of cross-dressers and it would be a lot easier for many to accept if they admitted this and enjoyed it instead of the angst that can be felt.

 

What I’m saying is dressing up in sexy way and looking like a prostitute does seem to be a stage many of us go through and may well retain. Don’t feel bad about it just get on with it and enjoy it. It may be a stage that passes or always be something one goes in for. Whatever, don’t feel too bad about it, don’t question your sexuality, it is I believe an heterosexual act and one can derive a lot of pleasure from it. Have fun, have a lot of fun!

The camera continues to keep failing to detect my face if I wear nude lipstick.

 

So, here's a ghost story 👻

 

When I was about 12, I needed to use the bathroom. The door was closed so I went to the lounge and saw my family there, so I went back and knocked on the toilet door. No response.

So I open the door and see inside there's a floating blue orb hovering mid air. For whatever reason I calmy close the door and go hide in my bed.

After a minute, curiousity (and a need to use the bathroom) overtook me and I went back. Nothing there now. I went inside and saw the window open. The toilet window was never open. I looked outside and saw the gardener working on a sunny Saturday afternoon, nothing unusual.

I never figured out why the window was open, why the door was closed, and what was floating there that day. The window could only be opened from the inside too.

Not everything can be explained. But I sometimes wonder about the orb I encountered, and in the toilet of all places.

Continuing on now with the theme of "Summer Dresses", a long sheer number, modeled for you here in one of my only four poses

Hope you like seeing me in this dress again as a blonde?

Sunday is probably my favourite weekday, because I listen to CBC radio with Michael Enright in the morning, turn on the fire, look at my plants, hold my Birdie, and often work on my paintings. I am doing a series of paintings of reflections in water, and learning so much in that process of discovery. Willow's walk comes after all of this today, but she is always a priority. I hope all of you are enjoying Sunday.

While the Aardwolf II continued proving its worth throughout the first few years of the Second Greco-Roman War, with the debut of the Hastati II and rumors of more experimental NGRF units an upgrade was inevitable. Aardwolf III units were first fielded in late AD 2102, but it was not until the following year that models carrying their now iconic "Hauberk" maneuvering gear saw action.

 

The Aardwolf III was designed primarily to bridge the gap between the older Aardwolf II normal and space types. Instead of having to produce two different variants, now one unit was equally adept at fighting both on land and in space. In addition to the general increase in thrust power and verniers, the recently developed Hauberk gear easily makes the Aardwolf III faster and more maneuverable than the Hastati II, if not quite as heavily armored.

 

Yeah, I'm not dead. I've been building a decent amount, but again, I just have a bunch of WIPs that I've been working on now and then. Also I've been sightseeing across Europe for the past month, so of course I haven't had the chance to post anything.

 

The old Aardwolf II was a solid model which is why I left it as is for so long. (about a year! Time flies I guess...) There were a few things that bugged me about it though; the proportions were still not exactly correct, and some of the joints were pretty iffy. This version features a shortened torso (at the cost of articulation but I didn't use that much anyway), shorter thighs, longer (lower) legs, and different hands (now with poseable fingers!). The knee joints now use ball joints like most of my other recent mecha, and the elbows use that other design that I use all the time. Other than that, I reworked some of the armor slightly (especially on the legs), and bulked out the ankle armor.

 

The Hauberk equipment is obviously GM III inspired, and I think it works pretty well. The shoulder armor was the toughest part to build, but I'm happy with how it looks now.

 

I have a few WIP shots that I may or may not post soon, along with some (nearly) finished stuff. Keep an eye out for that!

From the Brisbane Bayside Star newspaper. (March 12, 2020)

 

“In a world where petrol stations are about self service and convenience, one north Brisbane couple continues to offer service which harks back to a bygone era.

 

Bill and Marilyn Russell, both in their 70’s own Buckland Auto Service at Nundah, providing a full driveway service out the front and mechanic workshop out the back.

 

The business has been operating since about the 1930’s, and according to Mr. Russell, nothing much has changed in that time.*

 

The pump is Mrs. Russell’s domain. She also offers to check air in the tyres and look under the bonnet to check water and oil. She used to change tyres as well but she gave that up in her 50’s.

 

The business doesn’t sell grocery items or food but does have a small fridge with drinks. And it has a workshop where Mr. Russell services cars.”

 

* I grew up in this area and I can attest that little has changed with Bill’s garage although the world around it looks entirely different. In some ways! The Lutheran Church across the road is still there and the old fire station, now repurposed! A few original homes still stand but the rest from the front view has become high rise living.

 

Bill used to service my 1975 Corolla, it even had a carburettor and my Mum’s Corona. No doubt he is a dab hand with the technology of that era. Bill might struggle with a Tesla! Thanks Bill and Marilyn, keep on keeping on folks. If you drive by, drop in for a bottle of Golden Circle pineapple juice (just kidding!).
