I am having (slow) fun making a roomset for my Sindy dolls. I am using one floor of a 1980's Pedigree Sindy house but I am not using the pre-printed card walls.
I painted an extremely discoloured plastic Sindy shelf/room divider with Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Duck Egg Blue".......I am thrilled with the difference it has made to it.
On August 12 #WorldElephantDay asks you to help conserve and protect elephants from the numerous threats they face.
The elephant is loved, revered and respected by people and cultures around the world, yet we balance on the brink of seeing the last of this magnificent creature.
The escalation of poaching, habitat loss, human-elephant conflict and mistreatment in captivity are just some of the threats to both African and Asian elephants. Working towards better protection for wild elephants, improving enforcement policies to prevent the illegal poaching and trade of ivory, conserving elephant habitats, better treatment for captive elephants and, when appropriate, reintroducing captive elephants into natural, protected sanctuaries are the goals that numerous elephant conservation organizations are focusing on around the world.

What is happiness for me?
These themes get my head spinning 😁 Thank you Maria and Caren ♥
I realized that it's so many things that make me happy, so if I should dwell on them it would be a new blahblah and Flickr would close my account... 😂
This photo sums up some of it up tho, I have always loved it.
So, happiness is
The loved ones around me, the bonding, the love, having fun, laughter, coffee, music, sharing, being outside, taking photos, the nature, different seasons, observing, words, contemplating, the growth within, trying to solve the big questions.
See, I can write short ones too. 😁😂😁
Have a cheerful Saturday
You're as beautiful as the day I met you. Now you're growing right before my eyes, I wonder where did all the time go.
Getting ready for Halloween, starting to decorate the house to get in the spirit of things and decided to take time out for a little seasonal treat with my mid-morning coffee.

Great Spotted Woodpeckers (Dendrocopos Major) dancing_w_0074
Interesting facts about woodpeckers:
Inexperienced young woodpeckers frequently crash into windows: this is a major cause of death of juvenile birds.
Woodpeckers can peck up to 20 times per second, sometimes getting into the region of 8,000-12,000 a day! These pecks will involve either drumming, drilling, hammering or tapping. Hammering and tapping is used to break through the wood and create a nest, communicate with other woodpeckers and attract a mate. Drumming and drilling is used mainly for territory purposes to warn other birds away.
#2. The feet of the woodpecker are zygodactyl which mean it has two toes facing forwards and two toes facing backwards. This helps the woodpecker perch on the side of the bark, giving four strong points of contact to help stabilise them.
#3. Unlike other birds, the tail feathers of the woodpecker are thick and strong to help prop them up against the side of the tree. This is then aided by an enlarged vertebrae at the end of the tail to ensure a tight hold on the thickened feathers.
#4. In between the beak and the skull, there is a cushion of absorbent tissue which removes the impact of constant pecking. For this to be 100% effective, the woodpecker must peck at a perfect 90 degree angle, ensuring all the impact is guided towards the absorbent tissue. However, just to make the mechanics that little bit better, the skull of the woodpecker is thickened with strong but spongy bone cells which protect the brain.
#5. This omnivorous bird will eat all sorts of insects including spiders, ants, beetles and flies. They will also hunt around the trunk, digging out grubs, larvae and other foods rich in protein. Throughout the winter period, nuts and conifer seeds are crucial for the woodpeckers survival as these equate to around 30% of the birds daily requirements. Although their main diet consists of bugs and the occasional nut or seed, they are also known to invade other cavity nesting birds to eat the eggs.

You live and learn. A friend standing at the other side was all he needed as motivation to run across the suspension bridge. When his hiking partner, little Ginny, can do it, he can do it as well.
Down in the gorge the light was really poor and he ran too fast for getting a better picture - even with turning up ISO. So this will have to do for documenting this special moment.
Home made tilt shift hand held on a projector lens,no autofocus or stabilization at all and my dog moving..,yeah! :D

All photos were taken by my son Alex.
Probably could've done better with the PS, but Alex was quite impatient for me to put it all together!!

No this is not a photo shopped shot 😄 but a very lucky one, the early morning bumblebee was still a bit slow and that made this set-up possible. It was such a nice moment.
Took a walk along the beach late in the afternoon to unwind after a long day and spotted this rather large sandcastle complete with a water filled moat around it.
No doubt the creator had in a lot of fun building their fantasy sandcastle - and probably a little help. And patience.
Seen strolling along the beach at Tybee Island.
