Yamori means gecko in Japanese, and there were many of these mosquito devouring angels around the house.
Yamori house is a sprawling 3 story structure that was both the offices and workers' residence of a successful decorative rock business that boomed, along with Japan, in the 80's.
Now the owner, Neeyama-san, uses it as a weekend house and generously opens up the whole house to participants in the Shiro Oni artist in residence. Bedding was donated by a local hotel.
The bathroom is grand and features a wall of rocks that brought the wealth, the second floor deck is just spoiling for a large party, and there are wonderful views of the whole Onishi valley from another deck on the roof.
There are a dozen tatami covered rooms all awaiting artists, as well as several small empty buildings in town to use as studios.
Check out the Shiro Oni Studio for information about the artist in residence program.
Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) munching through some fruits. Finally got to see some bats in some light at a zoo. Plus got to see it eat in front of me. :D Taken at Omaha Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska.
The chickens enjoying a sheet cake I brought home! So there I was talking to a workmate in the alley behind my work when some fellow was preparing to throw this leftover cake from an office party in the dumpster. I yelled "Stop! You're not going to waste that, are you? I have chickens who would love it!" He gave me the cake, backing away in alarm, and the chooks had a cake which they devoured for New Years Day. The neighboring office does now think I'm a little odd however...

"We were just in the mood for some aggressive music which the scene then lacked there off, music inspired by personal encounters with hurt and despair, music with life and soul.."

unexpressed feelings yearning to let go
but to keep it that i do not want to do
for when it pressures inside me
it will just have to burst
and emotions may scatter with nowhere to go
when compromise sets in
you have to choose
and choosing will tell what it is to come
and at times your choices may pain others
or may pain you
then you have to sacrifice
for how many times I chose
got them hurt
hurt myself
either way i knew it was right
I may stand on the edge
for all I care as long as it matters
bears right
gives love
sheds light
in moments like this
I edify myself
to focus
to learn
for to sacrifice one's self
for your sake
other's sake
is an expression of love either way
Sacrifice, by Amalei Masigla

Garuda = the mythic "king of the birds," the vehicle of Vishnu. The word is usually rendered into English as "eagle," though according to one dictionary the name literally means "devourer," because Garuda was originally identified with the "all-consuming fire of the sun’s rays." (yogajournal.com)

After a rain storm the previous day it was a pleasant surprise to see much of the sand sculpture still standing.
The origins of St David's Cathedral date back to the 6th century, when St David (ca. 512-587) founded his monastery here. The community was attacked many times by Vikings and many clerics and bishops were murdered by the raiders. In 1081, William the Conqueror visited St Davids to pray, and thus recognised it as a holy and respected place.
At Bishop Bernard's successful urging, Pope Callistus II added St David's to the calendar of saints in 1120 and issued a decree in 1123 that "two pilgrimages to St David's are equal to one to Rome and three pilgrimages to one to Jerusalem". Therefore, a larger cathedral was built by 1131. In 1171 King Henry II visited St David's.
Construction of the current cathedral began in 1181 and was completed shortly afterwards. However, in 1220 the new tower collapsed and in 1248 an earthquake destroyed much of the chancel, choir and transept, so these parts were rebuilt. Reconstruction followed the 13th-century style with pointed arches.
The next major phase of construction was started under Bishop Henry de Gower (1328–1347). He gave the cathedral's exterior a Gothic style. The cathedral was finally completed around 1520.
From the 14th century onwards, the ensemble was completely surrounded by a massive wall, which originally had four gates. Of these, only the tower gate has survived, which is connected to the 13th century bell tower and opens the way from the cathedral to the city centre of St. David's.
The Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries under the Tudor King Henry VIII in 1536 was a shock. The English Civil War also left significant damage to the building fabric caused by Oliver Cromwell's troops. The valuable lead covering was removed from the roof of the bishop's palace, leaving the building to decay. The roof of the transept of the cathedral was also uncovered in order to access the lead.
It was not until the late 18th century that efforts were made to preserve at least parts of the cathedral complex. After the first attempt to restore the west front failed the whole building was restored between 1862 and 1870.
The choir stalls were built in the late 15th to early 16th centuries. They feature misericords, which have a ledge on which choir members could rest inconspicuously while remaining standing, as was required during the long sung services in the Middle Ages.
