I finally sewed my own mouth - nose protection, as there haven't been any in the drugstore for weeks.
I can wash my face mask. Whether it protects me is discussed on the Internet and the media, in any case it protects my surroundings when I cough or sneeze.
My family recommended this pattern to me, but there are others too.
I finally got the shot I have been trying for since Minty was a little puppy. This small blue and white basketball has been in our house since my youngest son was about seven, he is 39 now! None of our other dogs ever had much interest in it. It is the only ball Minty is interested in. She can't pick it up so she either pounces on it or jumps over it and kicks it with her back legs. She gets very intense every time we play with it.
We finally had some snow this past weekend and it has been cold enough that the snow is still light and fluffy. She had a great time playing with it as I snapped away. My hands nearly froze but I finally got my shot.
Finally. June2026. Another structure that I have snapped 4 or 5 times(I don’t bracket)film is expensive. Always had one issue or another. Failure and a win is always nice. Used to be home in Pine Bluff, Arkansas USA. KodakTX400@640. NikonFE2. Nikkor28-105mm. YellowFilter. HC110(f)1:79. AGOFilmProcessor-17minutes. Water Stop. IlfordRapidFix-5minutes. Washed-10minutes. KodakPhotoFlo-1minute. CameraScan:FujifilmXH1.
I’ve been having these weird dreams lately where I’ve been drowning in each one of them. Finally I decided to look up and see what it meant:
“Because of the water, drowning depicts fear of being overwhelmed by difficult emotions or anxieties. But this might apply not to dangerous emotions or urges, but to natural urges such as eating, loving or sex, that some people have enormous conflicts about. Drowning in a dream is also about struggling to survive as a person, so it applies to your identity as it is dealing with relationship with other people, but also with your own internal world of instincts, body activities and needs.”
Pretty spot on with this last week. But, with this new week I’ve decided to try and be positive instead of letting myself sink even further. Today, I killed my science exam (I think) and I’ve been telling myself that things will be alright. Somehow, with everything that happens in my life I feel like I manage to keep my head above water.

PLEASE, follow me on:
Storm Jocelyn passed through yesterday and Rob and I decided to head west to find some post-storm light. With the wind dying down around midday it was disappointing to find most of Inverpolly and Assynt blanketed in low, grey clouds. We eventually broke through the clag heading north to Stoer Point where it was almost a blue-sky day at the lighthouse. After a while having some fun capturing the stormy seas we again reversed course and headed back into a still cloudy Assynt to some potential sunset locations. We had spotted these oft photographed islands in Loch Assynt on the way up and liked the way the islands were pretty much submerged by the high water so it was great to see a glimse of the sun as it finally broke below the cloud and 10 minutes later, disappear behind the hills. This is a 3 image exposure blend to deal with the extreme dynamic range.
I finally finished another MOC! This one was in the works for over a year! I built on it from time to time, but never had the time to really make a lot of progress in one building session. Hense why it took me over a year to finish it :D When I first started building I didn’t know where to go with it. I made the wall Cal is wallrunning on and I went from there. At first I also wanted to include a Stormtrooper with a minigun, a Wookiee and a Rebel Trooper but quickly realized that it would get to crowded 😄 I hope you enjoy the MOC though. I’m glad I finally managed to post something again. I plan on building some more stuff that’s not Star Wars related next year. Still Star Wars as well ofcourse! :D
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord

Thanks so much Frank for this beautiful poem.

My passiflora were growing lush vines all summer but only now decided to bloom in purple and pink...

Finally made it to the end of this insane week. The fast pace and chaotic mood that started Monday didn't taper off as the week continued and up until quitting time today things were piling up and getting left behind as more pressing matters would arise.
Fingers crossed that with a few of the key players of the office away next week I'll have the chance to catch up, because honestly when it was time to leave I just locked up and walked away. I was not staying late on Friday.
When I shot my photo on Monday, I figured I'd end the week with this, and as the madness continued to build the more suiting this seemed to become. Also, as a side note; for anyone wanting to try this, be warned, writing with beans can be a pain and a little time consuming!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Yesterday we went to Los Rios where I was looking for Matilija Poppies. No poppies, but we did find this cat sleeping on the porch of an abandoned building. I stood around taking pictures and calling Kitty, Kitty, until I woke her up. She wasn't amused and jumped up and ran off.
She belongs to someone because there was a sign on the porch saying, "Don't feed the cat!"
i've made it! my birthday present for Mathias is finally finished!
six drawings of six of his cameras.
his birthday was in July. well … better later than never, right?
Snow! Not as much as I wanted but it will take us to Tuesday's expected snowfall and this will start us on a long season of the fun fluffy stuff.
Here I'm in the back yard waiting for Dad to stop his lousy imitation of Jozy Altidore so I can show him some real soccer moves!

Finally got around to finishing these two after having started on them six months ago lol.
Can't wait for the finale tonight!
So few butterflies this year, but the sulphur yellow immediately found a matching spot in my garden!
Been chasing this guy for months but he's always been too far, even with my telephoto. Finally, as I walked out the door to the deck, there he was, as close as he's ever been on a bush branch, seemingly ready for his close up.
Finally found way to get rid of the stupid armor protrusions that have bugged the living $h!t out of me since I came up with this torso design. I won't go into detail, but let's just say it might give a dedicated purist a heart attack;)
Updated pictures of Stryker, Crystal and Sebastian will be up soon.
I need to stop putting timespans on stuff...
Finally got a chance to revamp this. I basically kept the base but completely rebuilt the top half. What do you guys think?
it took more than an hour for the other animals to get to the waterhole - a group of lions had been blocking it (see previous image)
please view this large on black!!!
... finished!
So, my dearest partner, I hope you like this zakka type mug rug when it finally arrives at your door....
I just have to put in a little something, then off to the post office!
Finally some sunny, warm weather. Taken today, after outdoor exercise class on the Promenade, outside our condo complex. It feels like 22C 😎
Despite years of living with this graceful example of fine Scandinavian industrial design I finally really saw its potential for the first time yesterday morning. I suppose it was that soft window light that finally opened my eyes.

finally a clear sky!! Not quite this spectacular with the naked eye but this exposure really shows that amzing tail to full effect! - Taken at Piannacle Nature Reserve, Hawker, ACT, Australia. (McNaughts Comet 20 Jan2007)
Definitely a challenging project, this build let me use a few old and create techniques. I have gained a love for dark red, and fantasy could be a more often occurrence now. I stepped way out of my comfort zone of boring bley military stuff, and couldn't be happier.
If you're added, it's because your builds inspired me.
Ben: added because I love your free form bases.
Andreas: inspired a lot of the textures used
Miles: you gave fantasy criticism early on in this project, also, you inspired the building itself.
