Started watching this curl develop in the morning, then we had a mass of cloud until around 5pm, when technically I wouldn't normally bother looking and/or imaging. But having had the setup out all day just in case, I decided a peek was worth it. Seeing wasn't great with odd thin cloud and unexpected moderate gusts of wind interspersed with total calm.

I was driving by myself, en drab, in an area about 100 miles from home when I passed a small wig shop. On a whim, I turned around and scouted it out. Seeing no other customers inside, I entered and asked the owner if she sold to CD's. Her answer was "Of course." She was extremely nice and helpful. I ended up buying two wigs from her, this one with curls and another one that is similar to a favorite brunette wig, but slightly longer.
Bill was confused when his new personal trainer said he should start doing curls. But if it would build his biceps, he was willing to give it a try.

Just curl and repeat.
This is from a different sago with the unfurling at a different stage.
Back to something safe (rather than lizard porn). haha...
A charming cabinet card portrait of a very poised little girl. The mount has a Toronto imprint. It isn't hard to imagine the elegant beauty that this lovely child would have become when she grew up. No name or date.
Up early for a sunrise shoot with my mate Andrew, and for once we struck it lucky ... it was one of those mornings that just 'went off' :-)
This would have been improved if I'd used a polariser, due to the glare off the scales. Imaged during the British Wildlife Centre Photo Day, 16 April 2018.
This is my very simple tutorial on doll hair curling. This is the way I use all the time on 1/6 scale dolls. I'm sure every doll customizer has their own way. Use at your own responsibility!
You need small bag closers or pipe cleaners. In my experience pipe cleaners hold better, but they also leave little fuzz in the hair that you'll have to wipe out afterwards. I use whatever whenever I feel like it. It's useful to cut them in a really smile size for this project. I make them about one inch long. You can roll as small or big hair strands as you want, but the small ones make smaller and better lasting curls that can last a long time even in Saran hair without any products.
Step 1: Roll a strand of hair around the bag closer or pipe cleaner into a very tight croissant, starting from the end of the strand, and rolling hair over the end so that it doesn't unravel. Tie the ends of the closer around each other as close to the scalp as possible. I usually do 20-30 of these croissants.
Step 2: Dip the doll's head in hot water. Tea water is hot enough; there's no need to burn your fingers with boiling water. Dip the head in cold water right after; it should make the curls last better.
Step 3: Let the doll's hair dry for a few hours, preferably overnight. You'll feel it in your hand when the hair is not damp anymore. If you want loose curls, though, feel free to not wait so long. If you want any product in the hair, spread it over the croissants when the hair has dried and let it set for as long as it takes for the particular product to dry. You can put a hair net on the doll's head to make the curls hold their tight positions better when they dry.
Step 4: Open the croissants gently... and you get teeny tiny curls! It's best to divide them in two if you want a natural look, or you can leave them bigger and tie them into a beautiful updo - not necessarily on the male dolls, though. ;-) Note that if you do big curls, it matters which way you open the croissants. You'll see why when you try it. I'm always annoyed by factory curls because they all open in the same direction. Personally, I like to vary it to make the curls frame the face in a flattering way.
Hopefully this is useful for someone. :-)
My lovely wife hates moths, we looked really close at the ferns but missed this one!

yes is a word
& in this word yes live
(skillfully curled)
all worlds.

This wet plate ferrotype with an oval embossed center shows the back of a woman's head with an elaborate arrangement of curls. Was it a lady who was very proud of a new hairdo? An advertisement for a hairdresser? A message to a rejected suitor? We will never know!
I love the way Asters curl their petals when the flower is beginning to age. Noticed this one at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park on 23 September 2010. I knew I had a photo or two of this flower "somewhere" and discovered it a while ago, when I was backing up a few more photo files from 2010.
It was a sad day yesterday at the Calgary Zoo. Foggy, a 47-year-old River Hippoptamus and the Zoo's oldest resident, had to be euthanized because of age-related problems. My condolences, especially to the Zoo staff.
"Foggy, the 47-year-old hippopotamus at the Calgary Zoo who got his name from his foghorn-like bellow, was euthanized today by zoo officials because of the animal’s declining health.
The hippo, which came to the zoo in 1965 after being born at the Houston Zoo, had been in deteriorating health for several years because of its advanced age, zoo officials said in a news release.
“Sadly, the time had come when there was nothing more we could do to mitigate his many age-related ailments and we felt that his quality of life was simply not acceptable anymore,” said Jamie Dorgan, area curator.
The hippo fathered seven offspring during its life with three different mates, including three with its enclosure mate Sparky. Foggy was the oldest animal at the zoo."
