Miss Lily has seen many snowmen on flickr and wondered about them so we started by reading this book. Miss Lily thinks the snowman here looks a lot like Aunt Owwee's man They both like bright hats.

A third entry for the ABS Builder Challenge finale, hosted by InnovaLUG. #azureblueftw

 

The crafty seed part was used 5 times, and it's pretty obvious how. This build was definitely not paintstaking. . .

 

In honor of my father, who taught me how to paint, and had to deal with my crazy painting skills / mistakes. A big shout out to all you fathers out there who help teach young men these skills!

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's let LEGO be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.

My daughter Paige trying reading up to try and get herself out of Auto and into manual settings, doing really well so far but like most people it takes alot of practice and patience.

 

Hope you enjoy and many thanks for everyone viewing, faves and commented on any of my images have a great day :)

Remember when you weren't aware of 'rules'?

The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.

 

Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.

 

The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).

 

The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center

Not really. The only reason this Grizzly Bear was being a little tolerant of a Coyote was that there were two Bison carcasses to feast on.

they actually chase each other away but as long as they can't see each other they are fine. just like people.

Ten days ago I posted an image of a female Hyena teaching her sibling how to play with a stick. It didn't take the youngster long to find out what to do with it.

While waiting for my other half and my daughter who were shopping in C&A's I was quite happy to watch these two ladies discussing the pros & cons of wearing face masks.

 

It was a very animated conversation with lots of arm movements and hand gestures. I just stood there snapping away, knowing that I would definitely get a keeper or two out of the situation.

 

In the end I did get two shots of this scene worth keeping. It was a hard choice which one to upload, so I've decided the other one will follow soon.

 

Stay Safe :0)

 

Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.

I have not done much droplets work, so this is all new to me.

"Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction is holding me fast

How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

 

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…

 

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to find my way home

Unladen, empty and turned to stone

 

A soul in tension that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…

 

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

 

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…"

...it's the time when lights and shadows foretell All Hallow's Eve...but Phoenix is brave. She is learning to walk alone and face her fears.

Leonard: Why are you learning Chinese?

Sheldon: I believe the Szechuan Palace has been passing off orange chicken as tangerine chicken, and I intend to confront them.

Leonard: If I were you, I'd be more concerned about what they're passing off as chicken.

Like a baby bird taking it's first flight... this is how I feel about SP's (it's terrifying). But thanks to the encouragement and inspiration from you guys, I keep trying. And I won't delete this one (I just have to keep telling myself that). :-)

 

“We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.”

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you have

And step into the darkness of the unknown

Believe that one of the two will happen to you

Either you'll find something solid to stand on

Or you'll be taught how to fly!”

~Richard Bach

  

Thank you for the lovely comments on my previous post. My Mom was thrilled by all the sweet birthday wishes.

We can’t always physically travel, but we can mentally visit any place & time through #learning ... My mom unfortunately can’t travel but she loves travel programs & enjoys just as much as if she was actually there.

This shot really defined the moment when I realised that I needed to move on to the d7000 I have now. This otter was feeding close to shore and when I saw her heading in I had moments to get down behind some rocks and ready to shoot.

 

The light wasn't great and I was going to struggle at lower iso's - problem was on the camera I was using that adjustment was menu driven and I daren't look away or move too much so I had to shoot as things were.

 

If, and it's a pointless if, I'd had the d7000 a quick role of the wheel and the iso would have been on the up instantly.

 

If this had been sharp I reckon it would have been my favourite otter image - looks like something out of a cartoon. Don't get me wrong, still a great moment and magical experience and I'm grateful for that.

 

....oh and I think the latest lesson I've learned is that I need to spend far too much money, for me anyway, on a new lens!

  

Whenever I come to Amritsar I always try to spend as much time as possible at the Golden Temple.

Of course the Harmandir Sahib is a cornucopia for any photographer but this is not the only reason, there is something indescribable about this place which attracts like a magnet, which brings an inner peace and an amazing feeling of happiness.

You don’t have to be a Sikh in order to let yourself drift into this spiritual path.

You just have to be honest and sincere with who you are in order to let what you are find serenity and happiness.

 

This young Punjabi took a bath in the holy tank of the gurdwara, about an hour earlier I already took some other pictures of him when he was with some of his friends.

There was so much of happiness on is face and everywhere around us.

Happiness is an important word in Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy book) continually warns man not to leave the world behind to find happiness.

A man will not find happiness away from the world in which he lives.

I whish this child to find the right way to happiness in his life.
