The engaging - and frequently enraging - metalwork of M. T. Liggett is part art, part agitprop. Decades in the making, Liggett's extensive collection of metal whirligigs and totems lines his property outside Mullinville, Kansas. Hundreds of pieces reflect a singular view of life and politics, local, national and global, and depict (some would say skewer) the likes of tomato- and squash-bodied flower children, school board members and all manner of Mullenville's "elitist bourgeois." Front and center, however, are a jack booted Hillary Clinton, goofy Al Gore, President Rush, King George, a headless Laura Bush, and a call to "Elect Ted Kaczynski." There's hearts and love here, too, if you're looking.
For much more info, just google M. T. Liggett.
Pigmy or Dwarf Green Stripe Bamboo, Pleioblastus viridistriatus
This is such and interesting plant. It has a lot of texture, so it does not give off a shine because it doesn't have a smooth finish. So it has a kind of matte effect, soft watercolor effect naturally. The lucent leaf edges give off light.The leaves are textured with vertical translucent veins that add to the luminous quality of the plant. Between each vertical line, all the up and down the leaf, are tiny hairs that result in a look of flag-shaped rectangles. The entire effect of this texture is that is that it has the look of a woven textile. The genteel green stripes and shadings look like they have been lovingly brushed on to each leaf. Finally, easily overlooked are the very cute tiny pink tips. The growth habit is random with the leaves criss-crossing. The wind was blowing them around. In a grouping they have a delightful chaotic appearance. A joyous sight, I couldn't take myself away from them.

Excerpt from the brochure:
25 Ghost Dance by Robert Clarke Ellis
In this engaging abstract sculpture by Robert Clarke Ellis two figures appear to dance together. White painted half-moon shapes top blue and red stick-like pieces that intersect as if embracing one another. The Toronto artist creates expressive pieces forged out of steel with clean bold lines; often in vivid colours. “The “humanness” of the figures speaks to the viewer to elicit a memory”.

A thirsty (and hungry) doe pauses to eye me drifting down the Wisconsin in my kayak. She had been eating water plants a few minutes previously, then after this, began to browse bushes overhead.
Something most engaging about these birds And the little guys rate highly on the cuteness scale, especially before they've learnt they are meant to keep their eyes closed and impersonate a branch rather than give themselves away, by staring with those big eyes.

"General Tiin, the ship is lost."
"It's time to get a new one..."
"Yes Sir!"
----------
"Bright green streaks of plasma flew past me as I lazily drifted towards the hull of a Separatist Munificent-class Frigate. I checked the status of my squad in my HUD as the hull of the frigate grew beneath me. Two if my men had already landed engaging a vulture droid that appeared to be attempting defend the ship's turbo lasers, my squads primary target. As I neared the hull I activated the magnetics in my boots causing me to quickly cover the last few meters and slam into the hull. I lurched as my boots stuck to durasteel halting my momentum, righting myself, I assessed my surroundings, I was on target, right bellow the line of dual turbo lasers which were peppering the Absolver above. Dodging explosions from the Absolver's return fire I lead my squad along the frigates hull until we were above the turbo laser control room. Using a special charge we breached the hull, staying outside until the room had both finished venting it's droid crew and pressurizing. Now we just had to wait for the engineers to link up and seal the room, until then our mission was complete. Now it was time to sit back and hope that the rest of the Legion was having the same luck."

I finally got around to building something, it's nothing crazy, but Brady put a lot of work into writing mission 15 for the 253rd so I had to put something together. Over the last 4 months of working abroad and not having time to build I've come to realize that building is a bit of a perishable skill, I'm pretty sure I've forgotten how to terrain, which isn't great, but I'm determined to make something presentable with the new green and dk tan bricks I recently picked up so we'll see.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it!

The sound of the lute and the voice of a bard singing made her want to go inside to watch the show.
Celine, without wanting to be seen too much, enters through the entrance of the bar and asks Jake for a special ale. "Here's your ale, ma'am" he said with a smile.
She thanked him and took the drink in her hands. She turned around and scanned from afar in the great hall. People were gathered on all sides, a pair of couples dancing in the center, diverse creatures engaging in conversation at the tables and drinking.
Celine moved closer to the crowd and scanned the faces, expecting to see someone she knew.
And yes, she did see someone she knew, and that made her question whether to move on or run away, but when she decided to go back and sit in a cubicle and wait, those eyes saw her, and she thought it was too late.
Hinterhöfe üben eine besondere Faszination aus, weil sie oft als versteckte, intime Rückzugsorte mitten in der urbanen Landschaft fungieren. Sie bieten:
Authentizität und Geschichte: Viele Hinterhöfe sind historisch gewachsen und tragen die Spuren vergangener Zeiten in ihren Mauern, Pflastersteinen und Bepflanzungen.
Begegnung von Natur und Architektur: Die Mischung aus alter Bausubstanz und begrünten Elementen schafft einen interessanten Kontrast, der visuell ansprechend ist und gleichzeitig das Stadtbild auflockert.
Hinterhöfe haben oft einen besonderen Reiz, da sie verborgene Oasen im urbanen Raum darstellen. Neben ihrer Ruhe und Intimität bieten sie häufig überraschende architektonische Details und natürliche Elemente, die den Blick auf das Alltägliche verändern.
Pietà
Die Pietà ist mehr als ein biblisches Motiv: Sie ist ein Fenster, das uns Einlass gewährt in das Wechselspiel von Schmerz und Trost, Tod und Auferstehung, Vergänglichkeit und Liebe. Ihr ewiges Schweigen spricht Bände, weil es Raum schafft für unser eigenes Mit-Leiden und die leise Hoffnung, die selbst in der dunkelsten Stunde nicht verstummt.
Fernab religiöser Grundüberzeugungen spricht die Pietà heute Menschen an, die persönliche Verluste betrauern: Abschied von Geliebten, Zerstörung von Lebensentwürfen, globale Katastrophen.

Fascination of Inner Courtyards
Inner courtyards hold a special fascination because they often serve as hidden, intimate retreats amid the urban landscape. They offer:
Authenticity and History:
Many courtyards have evolved organically over time and bear the traces of bygone eras in their walls, cobblestones, and plantings.
A Meeting of Nature and Architecture:
The blend of old building fabric with verdant elements creates an engaging contrast that is visually appealing and helps to soften the cityscape.
Inner courtyards often possess a unique allure, as they represent secret oases within the urban environment. Beyond their calm and intimacy, they frequently reveal unexpected architectural details and natural features that transform our perception of the everyday.
Pietà
The Pietà is more than a biblical motif: it is a window that grants us entry into the interplay of suffering and consolation, death and resurrection, transience and love. Its eternal silence speaks volumes, for it makes room for our own compassion and the quiet hope that never falters, even in the darkest hour.
Far removed from any specific religious creed, the Pietà today reaches out to those who grieve personal loss: the farewell to loved ones, the shattering of life’s plans, or even global catastrophes.

Finally I caved and got myself Engaging Elise. And I'm really glad I did! She's such a stunner~
Pictured here in Cholo Couture.
Csikszentmihalyi (1991) describes engaged reading as a state of total absorption and completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning.
