We were looking forward to a good hike with mild temperatures and little wind. The winds were much higher than predicted, but manageable. There was much less snow than we would have thought, considering we've above average snowfalls for this year. While the wind was annoying, the fact that wet snow would often clump to our boots was very frustrating... With all the ups and downs, we gained just over 800 m's on this very undulating 10.3 km return distance hike, but took 6 and a half hours to complete. The loveliest surprise was herd of Rocky Mountain Sheep near the true summit.

I had the pleasure of attending the Carnevale in Venice in February 2011 - what a great experience! This was about my 4th or 5th Carnevale and they keep getting better. Many of the masked characters recognized me from prior years and gave me great access for photos. I also had the chance to shoot with many others; some in masks and costumes, some face paintees, and some faces in the crowd - great fun. Because of the large number of photos I took during the Carnevale I will use a separate set for each day to make it manageable. These photos are from my first day there, Sunday, 27 February 2011.

Today I cycled 35.7km on the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) from Lake Cowichan (The Foot) to the Kinsol Trestle. Dustin organized the operation and I acted as tour guide. Having made a profound study of the history of this railine over the past two-years and having cycled its entire length -- albeit in manageable sections -- I consider myself an expert on the subject, while managing to maintain a degree of modesty in the process.

 

It was a brilliant idea Dustin came up with to cycle the entire 35km, northern section of the TCT in one go. It was a bit much for me but I made it and Dustin found several geocaches along the trail while waiting for me to catch up. We departed The Foot at 10:30a.m. and arrived four-and-a-half hours later at Kinsol. We both drove our cars and bikes to Riverside Road parking at Kinsol then put our rides on one car and drove to The Foot where we offloaded and hit the trail.

 

We took lunchbreak at the marvelous Marie Canyon Trestle and chowddown on our chicken teriyaki sandwiches from Subway in Lake Cowichan at 11:30. One of the highlights of this cycling experience for me, was seeing the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) preserved the TCT section of the old Canadian National Railway (CNR) from Pine Street Trailhead by constructing a new trailhead beside Hammond Street (off the King George St. round-about).

 

Northward from this point on the original CNR right-of-way (ROW), houses have been built where the tracks once lay. The ROW is not visible again until one climbs the bank on the northwest side of Northshore road beyond the City Limits (actually, Township) heading out-of-town toward Youbou. The section of trail saved between Pine and Hammond streets is only approximately 400m, but the CVRD is to be commended for doing so.

A North American plastic wall scroll that is a bit smaller than the cloth wall scrolls in the next pics making it a bit more manageable especially for small spaces. However, it was hard to get a pic of this because the plastic wanted to throw the light of the flash back, hence the angle of this shot.

 

An unflashed pic of this scroll is next in the stream and then the cloth scrolls.

Meet Raquelle, my second LITD doll.

 

Oh how I love this chick. I know that I lot of you don't like her smirk because it looks "strange," but I personally like it. It makes her look so sassy and devious! As for the clothes, I really like her style. If I was a girl you're dang right, I'd wear something like this! The jacket is really nice and the leggings – oh, the leggings – they're really well-made. Her lashes don't have a gap and they point upward (Midge's lashes point forward). Her hair is nice and it's smoother and more manageable compared to Midge's hair. She also has the best shoes. They make her feet look bigger, but that's okay because in the webisodes she doesn't have "Barbie-sized feet."

 

Now for the cons. First off if you have this Raquelle, I'd advise you to be careful with the tulle skirt. The material easily attaches to the Velcro on the back of her dress and if you're not careful, you could end up destroying the skirt. I also don't like the material used white bodice on the dress because it's kinda see-through (if you look closely). The necklace is very stiff and most of the time it looks like it's hovering above Raquelle's neck. But other than those things, she's pretty awesome.

 

Summer and Teresa are on their way and I'm expecting them in 2 to 3 weeks.

Last night in the back garden

Continuing the theme of smaller content but hopefully more regular and manageable posts.

 

Last night I ran the trap again as you just never know what might fly into it given that we are in peak migrant season currently.

 

A new garden species was the highlight, a tiny Phyllonorycter ulmifoliella sitting on the collar of the trap which was swiftly potted up and photographed, a species that mines the leaves of Birch.

 

Old Lady was also a nice surprise, I don't see many of these and the sheer size of them against all of the other moths in the trap is breath-taking.

 

A garden second record of Argyresthia semitestacella was most welcome, very very similar to albistia but the general jizz of the moth is a longer more slender species with less contrast between the two colours but not always the case.

 

Also a really dark Square-spot Rustic was worthy of a photo and a Flounced Rustic re-appeared after a few weeks absense.

First day of the storm, conditions were not ideal but manageable. Glad to see a working cyclist enjoying the protected space of the Columbus Avenue bike lane. These guys deserve protected space on all arterials.

 

Found a bunch of this in my freezer this morning, decided to try it out. Shot at ISO 400, Developed in Xtol 1:1, gave a little extra time (this was probably a mistake) to counter what I thought was going to be diminished emulsion speed. Film base fog when developed was manageable , not much more than Ilford Delta 400. The biggest problem is that the film really wants to curl, in the future,will have to scan using a glass carrier.

Just a snap taken by my sainted but not-so-photographically-inclined husband back in New York City. Dudes, I took last night off from flickring to finish reading a book (Careless in Red by Elizabeth George -- check it out if you're a fan of British mysteries), and when I woke up this morning and checked in I was all, WHOA. So I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your generosity with faves and comments. Each and every one is hugely appreciated.

 

I've tried really hard over the past months to keep my contacts list manageable as more and more folks have added me, but even that being said, it's getting pretty hard to keep up. So if you don't hear from me for a while, please know that I'm still here, checking out all of your wonderful work, but there's only so many hours in the day.

 

*eyes dishes piling up around sink ruefully*

 

But I have to keep adding people because there's just so much wonderful inspiration to be found on flickr, you know? Anyhoo. BK's been out of town on business since Sunday morning (hi, lawyer's widow, that's me!) and Bax has been sick, so I'm hoping things seem a bit more manageable once everything's back to normal. Plus, the interwebs tell me my new lens will be delivered on Friday, so brace yourselves for some serious squee.

 

Ok, I think that's it. It was windy on the Staten Island Ferry.

 

The end.

I'm always looking for a way that I can journal for a trip and still keep up with the family. I mean, what's the point of a family vacation if I spend mine alone working on sketches? But if I don't do any sketching or journaling I feel let down. Those are my favorite souvenirs! So this format is an experiment. The grid was a manageable size and I liked dividing each day between morning, afternoon and evening. So here's our first week at a glance. :)

 

(All sketches were drawn in ink first and then watercolor later.)

The room was cozy, and I wanted to capture some intimate, un-posed family pics. ISO was cranked all the way to its highest setting, aperture wide open, and shutter was lowered to barely manageable speeds. results varied

Turkish CZ P-01 copy. Shoots great! All steel, so recoil is very manageable. Double-action first pull is very heavy and stiff, but will hopefully break in. The single action pull is still a bit heavy but has a very crisp break, so my groups are actually tighter with this pistol than my actual CZ P-07.

Routine septic pumping and cesspool pumping is the key to maintaining a healthy system.

 

There is no way to avoid sludge build up, but regular servicing helps keep it at a manageable level and avoid the need for septic or cesspool repairs.

“When the situation was manageable it was neglected, and now that it is thoroughly out of hand we apply too late the remedies which then might have effected a cure. There is nothing new in the story. It is as old as the sibylline books. It falls into that long, dismal catalogue of the fruitlessness of experience and the confirmed unteachability of mankind. Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong–these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.”

A day of editing! First cut is done, down from over 700 to around 350ish now. Next stage is to select the best versions of each set of shots which will bring the total down to something more manageable... then the adjustments and retouching can begin!

Hey, all. So I’m apparently collecting Descendants dolls now too. :P I won’t be collecting them extensively—just the boys and others I may like. The first doll I decided to collect is Isle of the Lost Jay, Jafar’s son.

 

Okay first of all, I’m very confused. Wasn’t there already a “Signature” Jay a couple of months ago last year? Why does mine look different? Are there supposed to be two different Signature Jays? Honestly this is all so perplexing…

 

But whatever the case may be, I have to admit, I like this Jay best. The older Jay had a rather dowdy-looking outfit and the absence of his beanie made him sort of out of character. I really like my Jay’s outfit. It looks exactly like how it appeared in the web show, as well as the official movie. Needless to say, my Jay looks in-character more. I’m just very awestruck by this design. I love how very masculine and rebellious the outfit is, but it also has a very high fashion touch (believe me, not all guys can pull off high fashion). The top is really great and well-made. I love the faux leather and the red, yellow and blue color scheme. I’m also a sucker for sleeveless tops on guys (so hot!). The red waist belt is a separate item and, yes, you can remove it separately!

 

The pants are a bit baggy though. I wish they were tighter to make it fit him better (skinny jeans would be appropriate for this attire, in my opinion). But it does have all these printed designs such as zippers and stitches, which I think is kinda cool.

 

The beanie isn’t anything special. It’s made of cotton and it looks more like a swim cap than a beanie. But the important thing is he actually has a hat, rather than being left him with nothing.

 

Since this is my first Descendants (boy) doll I’ll also review his body and articulation. So far it’s not really that good. He can be really stiff and his movement can be quite rigid (I really wanted to give him model-ly poses for this shoot, but I just couldn’t). Overall the articulation isn’t bad, but it’s only adequate at best. Personally I blame the sculpting of his body…some parts of his body actually obstruct some of the joints (particularly those in his arms). I wish his wrists were articulated too though. It’s such a shame (considering he actually has articulated ankles, yet Hasbro didn’t even think of giving them to the wrists instead). Also, his hands should be sculpted a bit better. His hand poses look very robotic; I feel they should have sculpted it to be more relaxed and natural-looking.

 

Also, for those who were wondering, yes, he’s close to the size of Ever After High boys and, yes, they can share and swap outfits. ;)

 

I really love his head sculpt. He’s really cute and I love his smile. I also love his facial screening. I love his almond-shape eyes and his golden olive skin. To be honest he actually looks more like he could be Aladdin’s son rather than Jafar’s (he acts like him too, but that’s a discussion for another day as I don’t want this review to be overly long).

 

He has terrible hair though. What is this, Nylon? Honestly it’s awful. It’s very poofy and it becomes huge and messy if I take off his hat. I held myself back from boil-washing it (‘cause I might damage it). For now I styled and treated it (with a secret special hair serum I use for my dolls) to make it more manageable.

 

He also comes with this, um, blue shield thingy. It has his dad’s symbol on it. It also opens up and it contains a sticker (I think) which I think is meant for the owner of the doll to use. Cute…but ultimately useless. Personally though I wish he had something more useful than this…such as an accessory backpack/sling bag or, more importantly, a fricking doll stand.

 

Overall though, he’s such a spectacular doll. Not bad for my first Hasbro purchase. I really love all the detail they put into him. Nowadays, doll designers barely even put any effort in designing male dolls (Mattel, Ever After High, I’m looking at you). Seeing Jay so detailed is certainly a breath of fresh air. Keep it up Hasbro, and I’ll buy any Descendants boy you dish out!

 

Larry did this hike solo, as Ben had a soar knee from our last cross-country ski outing. In order to get to Mt Loder, you cross Doorjamb Mountain summit en route. The wind was up today, as it often is on this route. Thankfully it was just manageable, and Larry completed this double summit scramble in under 4 hours roundtrip.

ODC2 - Abandoned

We were looking forward to a good hike with mild temperatures and little wind. The winds were much higher than predicted, but manageable. There was much less snow than we would have thought, considering we've above average snowfalls for this year. While the wind was annoying, the fact that wet snow would often clump to our boots was very frustrating... With all the ups and downs, we gained just over 800 m's on this very undulating 10.3 km return distance hike, but took 6 and a half hours to complete. The loveliest surprise was herd of Rocky Mountain Sheep near the true summit.

The American bullfrog is native to the eastern United States. The date of first introduction to Arizona is unknown, but they were introduced to California in the 1890s, and by the late 1920s the species was reportedly common on the Colorado River at Yuma. Bullfrogs are awesome and voracious predators. Predation by bullfrogs has contributed to the decline and extirpation of native leopard frogs and garter snakes. They are one of the biggest challenges to the recovery of many native aquatic species. Elimination of bullfrog populations is achievable in small, manageable wetlands, but is difficult or impossible in lakes, rivers, agriculture, and other complex habitats. Bullfrogs are also a vector for chytridiomycosis, a fungal disease that is killing frogs and toads around the globe. Areas such as the Kaibab National Forest were likely occupied by native northern leopard frogs prior to bullfrog invasions. The Forest Service, Arizona Game and Fish Department, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are working together to re-establish northern leopard frogs on the Kaibab National Forest.

My very own font of lead type! Presenting the somewhat elusive Franklin Gothic Wide in a reasonable and manageable 12 pt. I think it's quite pleasant in a chunky sort of way. I'm unfortunately lacking a capital J. If anyone knows of anyone who might have one they'd be willing to share, I'd be most appreciative.

Finally got a chance to photograph Kyle's room since we cleaned it up and moved furniture back to more manageable positions.

Taken with the iPhone's "Panoramic" setting. I did crop off some of the edges to make the image a more uniform size (12" H x 48" L) at 240 PPI (to bring down the file size to something more manageable).

 

There is some digital wizardry done to the image but it's not the actual background. In looking at the ruins in the back, those objects do appear to be added in but they were really there. I added in a "content-aware" fill on the very upper right corner as my hand could not keep the camera as steady as I wanted for the panoramic shot (long sweeping motion). So, the upper part of the tree and the sky were re-created in Photoshop but the rest of the image is legitimate.

 

Full disclosure: I do not know who the family is in the photograph. I did my best to de-emphasize them as they were not the focal point of the image as I wanted the scenery of the castle, sky, and park ground.

C Level refers to the last of three levels which had been mined for coal on the east slope of Cascade Mountain before this area belonged to the park. It is rightly one of Banff's premier hikes, as it has views, flowers, animals, and a trail that is manageable for most.

Perhaps the cheapest developer one can make. All it takes is Sodium Carbonate (5g), Vitamin C (2g) and Metol (0.2g)… dissolved in that order, in 250ml of warm water. You then add enough water to make a 1L solution. That takes care of two 120 rolls.

    

How much does it cost? Around Rs. 5 in all for the entire solution, excluding water.

Wonder if this is too grey. The flower was pure white. Guess this developer is low on contrast, but what fine grain!

In one of the other photos, there is a bit of uneven development though.

 

Had some spots and dust related issues after scanning which was removed. Reduced to a manageable size. No other tweaks done.

This small Tulip Magnolia is sometimes called a Tulip Tree. There is another tree that also carries that Tulip Tree name causing some confusion. Magnolia soulangiana is a great small tree. And for the month that is in bloom it is extraordinary. The blossoms of Magnolia soulangiana are 4" across or more. The tree can get to 20' or more but is much more manageable if kept under 10-15'. Shaping and controlling the shape of the tree requires trimming several times each year. The smell of the cut wood and leaves is intoxicating.
