Enjoy my photos and please feel free to comment. The only thing that I ask is no large, flashy graphics in the comments.
The better end of the curves. The amazing design of the petite mini. It is just fast even at standstill.

Fast it wasn't. Most of us spent most of the time walking ahead, beside or behind, easily jumping on an off without interrupting forward progress.

Once a year, I manage to catch a Common Skipper that's not skipping. Yes, they're beautiful but quite fast-moving so getting a good shot is a challenge... worth pursuing! I love the big black eyes and long supportive rear legs!
Despite its appearance and what most books say, it seems a Skipper is actually a butterfly, not a moth. Common Skippers (Hesperiidae) are distinguished from the higher butterflies by their large moth-like bodies, small wings and hooked antennae. Skippers have amazingly large, focused eyes and their bodies look like they're covered with a fine dust. Pruinescence, or pruinosity, is a "bloom" caused by pigment on top of an insect's cuticle that covers up the underlying coloration, giving a dusty or frosted appearance. The pruinescence is commonly white to pale blue in color, but can also be gray, pink, purple, or red; these colors may be produced by Tyndall (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyndall_effect) scattering of light. When pale in color, pruinescence often strongly reflects ultraviolet.
Costus Ginger gives a delicate spicy flower to salads and adds color too. Pleasant for Skippers and for a gourmet too! Costus is a genus of perennial tropical herbaceous plants from the costus family (Costaceae). They are often characterized and distinguished from relatives such as Zingiber (true ginger) by their spiraling stems. The genus as a whole is thus often called spiral gingers, but this can also refer to C. barbatus specifically.
Costus spectabilis is the floral emblem of Nigeria; its flowers are represented (erroneously in red instead of yellow color) on its coat of arms. It is important not to confuse "Costus speciousus, C. spectabilis etc. with the herb known by the common name 'costus'. Some species are of importance to herbivores, such as caterpillars of the Restricted Demon (Notocrypta curvifascia) which feed on Crape Ginger (C. speciosus). The Crape Ginger is also a source of diosgenin, a compound used for the commercial production of various steroids, such as progesterone. On Trinidad and Tobago, a mix of Costus scaber juice and crushed Renealmia alpinia berries is used to treat dogs bitten by snakes.
Costus root has been used as an incense and perfume ingredient for thousands of years and is mentioned in Rabbinical writings as קשט koshet, reflecting its arrow head shape. It was used in Ketoret which is used when referring to the consecrated incense described in the Hebrew Bible and Talmud. It is also referred to as the HaKetoret (the incense). It was offered on the specialized incense altar in the time when the Tabernacle was located in the First and Second Jerusalem Temples. The ketoret was an important component of the Temple service in Jerusalem.
In Tibet it was and is used extensively as incense and medicine, and as an aromatic stomatic in Chinese herbal medicine under the name "Mu Xiang" meaning 'wood aroma'.

Yes... they are "Hot Wheels" toy cars.
The Manly Fast Ferry - which covers Circular Quay to Manly in 18 minutes from between $5.50 to $9.50 one-way - zips past Sydney's Garden Island.
Despite resistance from those who hoped it could become a (somewhat unlikely) tourist attraction, the hammerhead crane which was unused since 1996 is being removed in the background, freeing up berthing areas for an estimated $7.4 million removal bill. That compared with mothballing it for $21 million, restoring it for $31 million, or retaining it and building a new dock east of Garden Island ($124 million). The project will be completed in November 2014.
Ten days after landing the First Fleet in 1788, Captain Phillip allowed the crew of the Sirius to grow vegetables at Garden Island. The NSW Government gave it over to naval use in 1856, and it is occupied today by Thales Australia and the Australian Navy. There is a RAN Heritage Centre on the island, which can be accessed by tour bus or a ferry to Garden Island wharf, but there is no walking access.

For anyone who attended the game, on this play, SKC lost control of the ball and the action went the other way. The crowd erupted in dismay, the players protested, and the umpire of course said there was no contact. I beg to differ.

Pattern was a computer-fit skirt from Sew Fast, Sew Easy's excellent 6-week intermediate sewing class in NYC. I made a muslin and did some basic adjustments before tackling the fashion fabric. At the time it fit like a glove!
