... a day makes.
A lunchtime walk around the "Bricky" today, and it seems to be paying off. If I can avoid snacking I can get my blood glucose down further - a new low today (4.9 Mmol/L) and I was still upright (just)!!
I haven't done one of these in a while. Lets see how well you do. :o) There are 15 differences in the bottom shot. :o) Happy Spotting. :o)

December 22, 2009-- Today I decided to just put makeup on one eye and see how much of a difference it makes. Apparently it makes a much bigger difference than I realized.
Showing the difference between two types of ammo. Target on left shot with cheap ammo. Target on right shot with better quality soft point ammo. Much tighter grouping on right. Range 100 yards with an M4 carbine firing .223 cal. ammo.
Entry for a PhotoSoc comment and critique session with the theme 'Difference'
I'll be honest the link to the theme is a bit tenuous, but this was during exam time. The difference is of scale, the all encompassing skyline makes it easy to ignore the tiny bird on the right of the photo
Day 216 of 365 (Sunday - aka New Year's Day) - Today we travelled from my parents' home to my partner's home. Yesterday I was in the fens, at the Wildfowl and Wetlands trust, soaking in the views and enjoying the birds and countryside, and today we arrived in North London to tower blocks and a different way of life. I took some photos of swans yesterday, so was struck by these two in the garden today. I had as much fun photographing these two in different locations and at different angles as I did with the real thing yesterday. I love visiting all my family, and this just summed up that to me, about how people and places can be so different, but enjoyable each in their own right. I'm also so glad my children get to experience the contrasts too.
Happy new year to you all - I hope you enjoy the variety and wonders it brings!
Governor Josh Shapiro, First Lady Lori Shapiro, Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, and Second Lady Blayre Holmes Davis will host a State Dinner at the Governor’s Residence in honor of nine Pennsylvanians who have made a difference in their communities. The State Dinner will tell the stories of nine Pennsylvanians who do meaningful work to improve the lives of others across the Commonwealth.
The centerpiece of the evening’s program will be the presentation of the Governor’s Keystone Award, which each honoree will receive in recognition of the significant contributions they’ve made to their communities, donating their time, knowledge, and talents to help improve the lives of others.
Members of the Shapiro Administration’s cabinet will also attend the State Dinner, which will feature a string quartet from the NEPA Philharmonic.
“Josh and I are honored to welcome these inspiring Pennsylvanians and their families into our home so we can recognize the work they are doing to make our Commonwealth a better place,” said First Lady Lori Shapiro. “Their incredible stories show that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can make a difference in the lives of the people around you. All nine Pennsylvanians being honored tonight are examples of the power of one – one person serving their community, addressing the needs they see, lending a helping hand, can have a compounding nature and a large impact over time.”
“As I travel all across our Commonwealth, it’s the stories of Pennsylvanians who are making a difference in their communities that inspires me and keeps me going,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “The First Lady and I are honored to recognize nine exemplary Pennsylvanians who are improving their communities, whether that means advocating for those too often forgotten and left behind, mentoring our children to ensure they have the tools to succeed, or supporting those who have served in uniform. We congratulate and thank them for their contributions to our Commonwealth, dedication to their communities, and commitment to service.”
The State Dinner is part of Governor and First Lady Shapiro’s efforts to reimagine the use of Governor’s Residence, opening the Residence up to more Pennsylvanians and organizing programs that inspire others to give back to their communities.
Tonight’s honorees include:
Kenny Holdsman from Philadelphia: Kenny was a lawyer, but was inspired to leave his profession by his mother’s experience in the Philadelphia School District. He co-founded Philadelphia Youth Basketball (PYB) in 2015 after several years of working in youth development. PYB uses basketball to create a safe and empowering environment for youth by creating opportunities for under-resourced communities. Youth can develop the skills needed to become leaders on and off the court.
Glynis Johns from Scranton: Glynis is local historian, sociologist, artist, and advocate from Scranton. While pursuing her master’s degree, she discovered that decades of Black history in Scranton was not being taught.

The Black Scranton Project researches and archives local Black history and shares that information with the public to foster awareness and representation.
Thomas Lenox from Erie: Tommy is the coordinator of the Erie Police Athletic League (PAL). The program had been on hiatus for 40 years, but Tommy restarted it based on his own experience growing up in inner city Johnstown.

Tommy was awarded ‘Officer of the Year’ by the Northwestern Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association for his work with PAL.
Aimee Morris from Felton: Aimee is US Marine Corps veteran and a psych-mental health and addiction certified nurse. Many of her patients were former veterans that lacked the health care they needed. She founded Glenn Hope Care Farm on her family’s farm in York County to help veterans heal and return to civilian life. Veterans practice ‘care farming’ at Glenn Hope where they learn agricultural skills for therapeutic and healing purposes. Glen Hope also donates some of the farm’s production to veteran’s groups.
Amanda Parezo from Philadelphia: Amanda is a professor and doctor of occupational therapy, as well as an advocate for ending gun violence. In 2021, she was struck with a stray bullet while playing kickball with friends, causing paralysis from the waist down.

She is also a motivational speaker who shares her story to advocate for ending gun violence.
Tristan Rankin from Glen Rock: Tristan founded Coats of Friendship when he was six years old after watching a video of a boy wandering outside in below freezing temperatures without a coat.

In 1989, she founded Project HOME in Philadelphia to break the cycles of poverty and houselessness. Project HOME targets the root causes of poverty through initiatives on supportive housing, employment, medical care, and education. Due to Project HOME’s success, Time Magazine named Sister Mary as one of the “World’s Most Influential People of 2009.” Sister Mary recently announced her retirement from Project HOME after 35 years of service and leadership.
Jamie Upshaw from Pittsburgh: Jamie founded Autism Urban Connections after her son was diagnosed.

By providing resources and support, Autism Urban Connections works to end underdiagnoses and misdiagnoses for children of color.
Mine's on the left, Jet's is on the right, the really cool thing is that Jet dictated all the colors he wanted to use in the order he wanted to use them.
When he put as much as he wanted on his wool, he gave me the dye bottle and I squirted what I wanted onto my wool.
So both of these are BFL (Blue Faced Leiscter) rovings. They were both dyed with exactly the same dyes, though in different proportions. They were just done by different people.
Always nice contrasts among the different styles of buildings in Madrid. Classic balconies and carvings on one and matching curved window arches on the other. The Gran Via is a visual gem when looking at all the fascinating buildings along it's route.

Coincidently, both of the pictured defensive playmakers wear #91. Cameron Wake is a DE/LB with great strength and burst. He is a sack machine. Jamie Collins is an exceptional athlete with a high football IQ. He is a disrupter and will blitz and drop into coverage. Both playmakers will be on the field on Thursday Night Football tonight.
