Through the magic of Flickr, we continue our soap opera of a family drama during a strained family camping trip. Here, Mom is determined to get her romance on by donning her sexy best. Scene from the 2013 River to River Festival performance of Roadside Attraction by Third Rail Projects.You may notice that there are several changes in my photos other than the dates taken or time of day. Roadside Attraction was performed over several days with various changes due to damaged or lost props or simply trying out a different prop or placement of the various performers as Third Rail has been known to do.
... continuing my exploration of B&W, This one or the color version?

I Woke Up and Chose Violence is a response to the murders and deaths of BIPOC people inflicted by the hegemonic systems that continue to oppress our communities. This project centers the emotions of rage and anger often felt by non-hegemonic bodies that are constantly forced to navigate personal and institutional loss. As an artist of the Philippine diaspora, Garcia intends to use her Session program to specifically acknowledge and mourn a long history of anti-Asian violence and its proliferation since COVID-19. This project confronts racial, ethnic, and gendered stereotypes and ideologies to explore the possibilities of meeting force with force – to oppose white/colonial violence with tropical dissent.
Garcia’s project is part of a five-year reexamination of the narratives around the Indigenous practice of headhunting in the Philippine Islands. Historically, these practices functioned as a moral rationale for civilizing missions by Western imperial powers. Garcia is interested in symbolically recuperating headhunting’s role as a psycho-spiritual ritual for processing and dissipating profound personal grief, whilst extending this notion of grief to the burdened histories of colonial erasure that persist in our present day. I Woke Up and Chose Violence, therefore, leads with an unconventional ethos and flirts with transgressions in dealing with the subject of violence.
Garcia will segment the Session gallery into two distinct areas. The first to be activated will be an evolving installation made of reimagined weapons based on period and improvised weaponry traditionally used in headhunting expeditions, (such as daggers, swords, axes, spears, etc.) and self-defense training tools. These weapons will undergo a facilitated process of re-rendering through an intersectional feminist and diasporic intervention, decoupling the objects from hyper-masculinized, patriarchal affiliations. This work will involve an interactive design session to create a personalized weapon through a process of sketching and/or making small prototypes with visitors. She will then translate a selection of these designs into 3D-printed objects at the scale desired.
The second area will be fashioned into an arena for Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) training and somatic research. Participants are invited to use this space to explore what it is like to wield training weapons with the aim to activate and physically think through their design strategies or simply to experience striking a punching bag (or two). In addition, the artist has invited her own martial arts instructor to lead self-defense workshops that draw on techniques and concepts from Filipino Martial Arts through an introduction to a practical set of self-preservation tools that can be used for immediate application.

Chartwells and District 99 mobilized on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 to deliver meals to those in need. We will continue to do so through April.
The tour continues.
Each day now has the same structure: Get up at about seven, breakfast at half eight, meet at the vans at half nine for the drive to the first site, stay there two hours, drive to next site, have lunch before another two hours searching, and on the drive back to the hotel, one last stop of an hour or so, go to the square for a beer, debrief at seven fifteen before going for dinner at eight.
Rinse and repeat.
Monday was the same as above. Each day the sites and butterflies are different, of course, and we never know if we will see what we hope to see at each site.
Breakfast is simple: a roll or two, yogurt, coffee, then back to the room to prepare to leave.
Unlike the previous tour, we try to rotate which bus we sit in each day, so not to create cliques, I sit in Dave's bus, though Gillian in the front seat talks all say, all day about nothing really, just to fill the silence, and is certain she is right about everything.
Again through the mountains, poor villages, and bright green lush fields before we turn down a track through a forest to come to a wide grass area, which had a small bog at the bottom, too muddy for much exploring, and anyway these early season butterflies don't frequent the bog. Our target was the Spring Ringlet.
We wander off, and despite it being warmer than the day previous, butterflies were slow to wake up, so it was an hour really before we saw any. Two tattered Iberian Scare Swallowtails delighted us all, as they fed on fresh Blackthorn blossom, and the usual suspects of Orange Tips, Provence Orange Tips, Queen of Spains all flew through.
Up on the wooded slope, news came that the Ringlets had been found, so we go off to explore, with only a couple of folks getting shots. We did find the first orchid of the trip, a tiny Early Purple growing in the shelter of a hollow.
Back down to the vans for a short drive to the lunch site, near a waterfall.
It was already very warm, so I sat on the tailgate while the others went off, however I would be rewarded with fine views of a newly emerged European Swallowtail, an Iberian Sooty Copper and a Green Underside Blue.
Which was all nice.
On the road again to the final site, a narrow country lane leading to a ravine, where in an abandoned field, we had hoped to see the rarest of the lot, a Sooty Orange Tip.
In fact the site was rich in butterflies, with many Blues, and the other Two Orange Tips, a Provencal Fritillary.
A shout went out, and news that a Sooty Orange Tip had been seen, and indeed it had. The flighty butterfly was speeding round the field with half the group in pursuit, it likes only Hoary Mustard to feed on, and it did pause twice, but I wasn't fast enough to get shots. It flew off and was last seen disappearing into the afternoon haze.
We wrote our own stories in the stars.
We found solace in each other's arms.
We penned our own ending, and we wrote our happily ever after.

As Genesis continues to expand its EV lineup, I must pay homage to the electrified 2023 GV60 crossover, the company’s first dedicated EV model. The Korean automaker’s e-mobility goal is to shift towards an all-electric lineup by 2030. The AWD GV60 has an EPA-estimated electric driving range of 248 miles for the Advanced model and 235 miles for the Performance model I’m testing (255 miles during my observations). Both utilize a 77.4 kWh battery and feature 1-pedal driving, various driving modes, and Boost Mode to send the vehicle into hyper speeds. Inside, the cockpit is forward-thinking and innovative such as the globe gear selector that rotates and shines bright when the ignition is turned on and off. The 2023 Genesis GV60 SUV starts at $59,290 for the Advanced model and $68,290 for the Performance variant and is currently sold at limited dealerships in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Utah, and Washington.

Took the picture just to show that I'm actually working ;)
I'm still paring through the parts of my unsorted purchases, divvying up the parts into groups (minifig, two-by bricks/tiles, one-by bricks/tiles, SNOT bricks, etc.). Of course, groups like Technic have sub-groups upon sub-groups that will be a living nightmare to sort.
After all the purchases are sorted, they will be separated further by piece type, and then separated further by color.
I just took some Advil, so I'm good to go.
Continuing my reptile theme. Thanks to Pete (Bushcritters) and Amanda for ID.
This cute little lizard ran across the track in front of us. It looked slightly blue/green at the sides I thought but not so in these shots. I don't know if it can change colour or whether it was just a trick of the light.
It was hard to get a good shot because of grasses. I got quite close and even touched it's tail (to try and get it to move into a more open area but it didn't move. Then suddenly it bolted right across the track into longer grass. It was probably about 6 inches or so long.

Continuing with my interest in night photography, here's a 30 second exposure from a few months back. I went to the stone circle for the rise of the full moon which came up right between the stones from where I was standing. In less than an hour it was rising nicely as the sun set behind me and the street lights lit up the stones.
I had an underexposed shot to reduce the intensity of the blown out moon, but I think it looks good as it is. This has to be one of the few times an aircraft trail adds something good to a photo, a rare thing indeed!

Continuing this week's theme of magazine covers.
This is stuff that I sell on eBay. I think that book and magazine covers have some interest and there are a number of Flickr groups for them.

The UNMISS Rwandan Battalion worked with the local community and the Rwandan community in South Sudan to construct a new school for children in Kapuri, Northern Bari Payam. The old school consisted of incomplete classrooms fashioned from sticks, with no restrooms, in a space far too small for the 420 students who regularly attend. Most classes were conducted beneath trees in the courtyard, which made regular schooling increasingly difficult during the rainy season.
The new school was built on a 700 square meter piece of land granted by the government for the purpose. The new facility contains classrooms, toilets, and staff offices.
Here, RwanBatt continues work on the new school.
