"""This Santa is preforming his task by educating the young reindeer how they should run on gras, when there is not snow at all! It happens more and more these days, that they have to travel through areas under different weather conditions.
As you can see, they are good listeners and also eager to start their actually training on the gras. Santa's sleigh with the big bag is already on standby."""
These origami models are all designed by Jo Nakashima, except for the bag, which is a traditional origami Waterbomb. And he has made a video-tutorial for all the models:
+ a simple change , that allows Santa to stand easily
I folded:
- Santa Claus from a paper 17,5x17,5cm kamipaper
- the reindeer from 17,5x17,5cm brown glassine -paper
- Santa's bag from 17,5x17,5cm red glassine-paper
- Santa's sleigh from 20x20cm double-colored kraftpaper
This the same cormorant posted yesterday but taken earlier in the sequence. The young Ring-billed Gull that was resting on the nearby rock was not impressed when the Cormorant came in to dry its wings.
Rain showers, with their associated ominous dark clouds, produce a dramatic scene, including a double rainbow, over the iconic beach huts at Southwold.
Fun abstract of this Double Yellow Cone flower.. This plant species is hardier to find the last few seasons for the garden. It's one of my faves.
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments.
Have a great day!
The front light on this cormorant reveals a striking interplay of shadows and reflections. The feather detail, the reflection in the water, and the shadow cast on his wing create a triad of lighting effects. That blue eye sparkles like a polished turquoise gemstone.
This shot was taken looking up at Double Arch (at Arches National Park), a twin arch formation that is 112 feet tall, with a 144-foot span. The larger of the arches is the tallest in the park and the third widest. The smaller of the two is 67 feet wide and 87 feet tall. I combined about 4 or 5 images taken at 14.0 mm to get this shot.
This is a cut flower, perhaps it's a hybrid, not as fragrant (which is better, cause the regular ones have a very strong scent). Also, the stamen is eliminated, where the pollen is produced. If you let it touch your fingers or cloths, it will stain. So, it's NEW & BETTER.

The light was coming and going at Crawford after a clear start (and finish) to the day. For those that were after the 40s on the viaduct - it was dull there. Luckily I was going for embankment approaching the viaduct. And with a wee bit of 'tweaking' got a decent image.
