If you carefully add food coloring to the roots of your plants over time you can tint them almost any color. Or you can just slide the hue scale to the left in Photoshop.
It was pretty in red, but I'm bored.

The story of the Debbie Jane being on the beach is still a mystery. There are several stories about what it and it's crew of three were doing on Saturday night. What is known is that it hit a sand bar 200m off the coast (what were they doing so close anyway?) and the crew were rescued by the crew from a rescue helicopter (they waded out from the shore).
This morning (Monday) was the first attempt to drag it up the beach (past the high tide level) but the wooden boat is full of water and sand now, so despite the attempts of the two diggers they could not move it.
With the incoming tide approaching the decision was made to leave it to the next low tide (about 8pm Monday night), and then the boat was broken up in place and pieces dragged up the beach.

Digging deep in a slide storage tray, I stumbled into some Milwaukee Road slides that haven't seen the light of day in years. A westbound freight lead by two SD40-2's crosses the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin Dells, WI in March of 1985.

One of my favorite subjects, a lovely young lady named Tina, returned to the beach this weekend. As you can see she's a pretty good volleyball player. And very gracious to let me take these photos.
Sometimes you can get so deeply into something you love, that it almost consumes you.
As always, thanks very much for all of your kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated!

A few weeks ago, when the sun was out, and the bees were still hard at work, I took this photo near Laburnum Path in Vandusen Botanical Garden.

The title won't make any sense what so ever unless you know what a widget is, but it made me smile.

I had my first experience of track cycling yesterday (watching that is, I'm far to clumsy to have a go). This photo was taken during the women's points race. It's 80 laps of the track with a sprint every 10th lap, and GB's Laura Trott went on to win.
The wind blew peacefully through the trees. Birds chirped, squirrels chattered, and the sound of leaves falling could be heard in the thick, beautiful forest of southern Lenfald. Bits of red and orange were beginning to appear in the treetops. The forest was changing, green was giving way to red.
Sir Glennian reflected on this as he and his companions treaded, almost silently, on the old forest road. So many things had happened recently, the once peaceful land of Roawia was now aching with the pains of conflict and turmoil, and the only plausible outcome seemed to be war. Loreos, only few miles walk southward, was now threatening invasion. Green did indeed seem to be giving way to red.
Sounds of people now reached Sir Glennian’s ears, and he saw they had almost reached their destination. As he came around a bend in the path, he saw it, not a hundred yards ahead of him. A deep hole had been dug in the center of the path, nearly fifteen feet deep, and men could be seen swarming around it.
“Foreman!” Sir Glennian shouted.
All the workers turned and noticed their visitors, and a stout man in a green cloak turned to greet them. He had a thick, curly, brown beard covering his smiling face, which was topped with thick, curly, brown hair.
“Ah, you are here at last!” He greeted them. “We have made much progress on the work. As you can see, the hole is over a dozen feet deep. Just an hour ago the blacksmith arrived with the spikes that will be stuck in the bottom. Then we will cover it with branches spread over with dirt, and the next Loreesi scum who comes through here-”
He broke off with a large wave of his hand, indicating the destruction the Loreesi would face.
Glennian nodded. “Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”
He looked forlornly down the path. Somewhere in that direction was a great desert…one in which war was brewing, a war that, he feared, Lenfald could never be completely ready for.

Well, I was going to enter this into the last Lenfald LC, but I obviously didn’t finish it in time. Congrats to Gary and Paul on the wins! ;)
Soli Deo Gloria! :)
Oxford Diecast 1/76 - 763CX001 - JCB 3CX Eco Backhoe Loader
Think of a digger and this is probably what comes to mind, the latest version of the famous JCB 3CX, excellently modelled by Oxford. It is quite a feat of miniature engineering with the full range of movement at both ends just like the real thing, Oddly though, Oxford put all the movements into the front forks and then glued them in the stowed position folded on top of the bucket so I had to unstick them.
