We spend an afternoon making magical mushroom lights in our garden with young Theodore Carman, one of my art students, his mother Isabelle and my friend Jean.
In our first session, we created the mushroom stems and domes, as well as the LED lights for a dozen mushrooms. We made them by soldering surface-mounted LEDs and resistors to a stiff wire, mixing watercolor with clear silicon, shaping the stems and domes with saran wrap.
We got the first mushroom to light up at the end of the day, and it looked truly magical!
In our next session, we will assemble all these parts, drill holes in a wooden log and attach the mushrooms to it, soldering all the wires to a holder with three AA batteries.
If you like, you can easily make your own by following the instructions in this fine video:

It takes about 6 hours to make these mushrooms over two sessions, but the results make it all worthwhile.
For months, Theodore kept asking if we could make these mushrooms during our maker art classes at the Lycée, but I thought this would be too hard for some of the younger kids in our course. So I offered to have him come to our home when the course ended, so we could fulfill his dream in a smaller group.
Making art with friends is such a pleasant experience. I think creative collaborations like these are good for society, and should be encouraged more.

Pi played with this succulent and tore a bunch of little leaves off, I tossed them back into the pot and they've rooted and will become new plants.
Destination weddings are Super fun - because as a Wedding Photographer, it gives us a chance to watch & capture the bride & groom in their most candid moments together.
Making faces tops the list.
Everyone loves to do it. And these Royally dressed up Brides & Grooms are not much different. Take them away from the stage of events. And watch 'em become kids again :D

I decided to try my hand at making some hard cider this year. I’ve been making my own apple cider vinegar for a few years and I’ve heard it’s better if you start with hard cider. Generally to make my vinegar I simply pour cider into a big glass jar, cover with cheesecloth and let it sit for a few months until it’s vinegar, easy as that. I do buy unpasteurized cider from a small local press, so it contains the natural yeasts in it that ferment it and then turn it into vinegar.

With so many eastbounds on the Sunset Route, it was time to be creative with shots. Here, an UP stacker is framed between shade trees planted at the Imperial Sugar complex in Sugar Land, TX.
Amid ever-growing waves of terrorism in Pakistan and continuous unrest in Karachi – the financial backbone of the country, a good news came from creeks of Karo Chaan, near Keti Bandar on 22 June 2013 when Pakistan reclaimed the world record of planting the maximum number of mangroves in a day and regained its position in the Guinness Book of World Records by planting 798,700 mangroves in a single day.
The record of planting maximum number of plants in a day was first made by Mexico by planting 348,493 mangrove saplings in a day followed by India with 447,874 trees. In 2009, the Sindh forest department set the world record by planting 541,176 mangroves in a single day but the Indians again broke the record in August 2009 by planting 611,110 mangroves plants.
The overall purpose of the activity was to focus on the significance of the Indus Delta mangroves, its affiliated biodiversity and above all, the dependence of coastal communities on this fragile and vulnerable ecosystem.
In the above picture, planters are planting the mangroves at an Island of Kharo Chaan, and a media person is making their movie....!
Another year, another go at a project! I think a 365 was a bit optimistic, so maybe a 52 would be better! I was bought a wine making kit a while ago and have only just to get it going. I like the pressure valve which appeals to my engineering side

Shared Assets local OI-10 makes a run for the Hillside Avenue crossing, which was packed with snow on both sides. OI-10 is heading to Oasis Foods to give them a switch. This was after a few days of inactivity, which put Oasis into a crunch for cars.
After the locomotive cleared the crossing, it left a pile of snow on both sides of the road, confusing motorists trying to cross.
The temperature has been in the low teens for the past three days. Schools have been closed since Monday, since the windshield have been in the negative. Pudgey has refused to so out for anything longer than a mad 10 second dash to water the snow.... And then rush back in, jump into bed and get under the blankets. We are hoping it warms up soon.... The little booger hasn't taken his normal number of trips outside in three days.
Beautiful fallow deer photographed in Petworth Park during the rutting season.
The fallow deer (Dama dama) is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. This common species is native to western Eurasia, but has been introduced widely elsewhere. It often includes the rarer Persian fallow deer as a subspecies (D. d. mesopotamica), while others treat it as an entirely different species (D. mesopotamica).
Petworth House and Park in Petworth, West Sussex, England, has been a family home for over 800 years. The estate was a royal gift from the widow of Henry I to her brother Jocelin de Louvain, who soon after married into the renowned Percy family. As the Percy stronghold was in the north, Petworth was originally only intended for occasional use.
Petworth, formerly known as Leconfield, is a major country estate on the outskirts of Petworth, itself a town created to serve the house. Described by English Heritage as "the most important residence in the County of Sussex", there was a manorial house here from 1309, but the present buildings were built for the Dukes of Somerset from the late 17th century, the park being landscaped by "Capability" Brown. The house contains a fine collection of paintings and sculptures.
The house itself is grade I listed (List Entry Number 1225989) and the park as a historic park (1000162). Several individual features in the park are also listed.
It was in the late 1500s that Petworth became a permanent home to the Percys after Elizabeth I grew suspicious of their allegiance to Mary, Queen of Scots and confined the family to the south.
The 2nd Earl of Egremont commissioned Capability Brown to design and landscape the deer park. The park, one of Brownâs first commissions as an independent designer, consists of 700 acres of grassland and trees. It is inhabited by the largest herd of fallow deer in England. There is also a 12-hectare (30-acre) woodland garden, known as the Pleasure Ground.
Brown removed the formal garden and fishponds of the 1690âs and relocated 64,000 tons of soil, creating a serpentine lake. He bordered the lake with poplars, birches and willows to make the ânaturalâ view pleasing. A 1987 hurricane devastated the park, and 35,000 trees were planted to replace the losses. Gracing the 30 acres of gardens and pleasure grounds around the home are seasonal shrubs and bulbs that include lilies, primroses, and azaleas. A Doric temple and Ionic rotunda add interest in the grounds.
Petworth House is a late 17th-century mansion, rebuilt in 1688 by Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset, and altered in the 1870s by Anthony Salvin. The site was previously occupied by a fortified manor house founded by Henry de Percy, the 13th-century chapel and undercroft of which still survive.
Today's building houses an important collection of paintings and sculptures, including 19 oil paintings by J. M. W. Turner (some owned by the family, some by Tate Britain), who was a regular visitor to Petworth, paintings by Van Dyck, carvings by Grinling Gibbons and Ben Harms, classical and neoclassical sculptures (including ones by John Flaxman and John Edward Carew), and wall and ceiling paintings by Louis Laguerre. There is also a terrestrial globe by Emery Molyneux, believed to be the only one in the world in its original 1592 state.
For the past 250 years the house and the estate have been in the hands of the Wyndham family â currently Lord Egremont. He and his family live in the south wing, allowing much of the remainder to be open to the public.
The house and deer park were handed over to the nation in 1947 and are now managed by the National Trust under the name "Petworth House & Park". The Leconfield Estates continue to own much of Petworth and the surrounding area. As an insight into the lives of past estate workers the Petworth Cottage Museum has been established in High Street, Petworth, furnished as it would have been in about 1910.
Xieress: What's that robot doing?
Barbie: Oh don't mind him, he's quite the scamp. Now smile!
I love Xieress, or lil' grungy as I name him. And he makes me appreciate my good old Barbie, too. They make a great duo.
Feeling lazy tonight, so it's canned pinto and black beans (instead of the hard pinto beans I usually use).. along with some really lean ground beef, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes and some canned tomato sauce.
It's easy and quick (to prepare, but simmers for 2 hours). Yay.
