What seems to have become an annual event for the small town Strathmerton in Victoria Australia is the Cactus Country Day of the Dead celebration.
Held in around 12 acres of truly amazing cactus, many in full flower, the event has become in itself a truly amazing. Its amazing, especially when you factor in all the location, the number of people, the mariachi band and how so many get involved in such a remarkably beautiful visual display.

PS. it was a lot of fun, despite no coronas, margaritas, or tequila being consumed by me. Please note though that if I had a designated driver, no photos would have been taken! : )

Secure with an adhesive dot. :)
I know her hair is supposed to be "Brunette on Raven"...but it sure looks all raven to me. That is NOT a complaint...lol.

Red Crayon Suicide Note
I was the lost child-beaten and weak,
Slaped in the face if dare I should speak,
Slave of aggression, victim of pride,
Feeling the lash of the belt to my hide.
With nothing to gain from my sad little life,
Weary from battle, cursing the strife,
I took some paper from out of my tote,
And wrote out a red crayon suicide note.
As I looked at the note, my thoughts began straying,
To books and to birds and prayers I loved praying,
It was then I decided to fight through the strife,
I threw out the letter and fiercely chose life.
Though now grown and successful, I have not forgot,
My journey to manhood-a battle hardwrought,
My love and my time I now gladly devote,
To all children with red crayon suicide notes.

Friends of mine asked me to shoot them for their band pics, appropriately, the band name is Spark Notes, so I had to use sparklers, on the shore of Sarasota Bay with the city in the background,with a roman candle for some bling....
Stocky heron with neck usually tucked in. Adults overall pale grayish with black cap and back. Red eyes. Juveniles noticeably different, brown and streaky with yellow eyes. Often crouched under overhanging branches during the day. Feeds nocturnally for fish, frogs and other prey. Where it overlaps with Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, note large teardrop-shaped white spots on wing coverts which Yellow-crowned lacks. (eBird)

This immature Black-crowned Night-Heron was intent on the river below him, just waiting for a meal to pass by.

Sometimes a note appears in my head. I guess I will write them down in my Moleskine from now.
I love drawing. I will draw again.
I love working. My friend called me Buzzie. I like it. Busy. Busy. Buzzzieee.
I feel unsafe every time I'm in my comfort zone, so I guess that's why I always change.
You change. I change, too.
Nahh. Actually you don't. But I do.

Just realized this is possible and wanted to keep it for future reference, as I have no direct need for it now. Hope others find it useful too. This should allow for reasonably decent angled stripes too because you could continue to go diagonal with multiple 2x2s, 3x3s or 4x4s in a row.
There are slight gaps, but not large enough to fill with ½ plate elements. Those gaps can be used as subtle greebling, so it's not that bad if you can make it work for you.
Note I did not have a 3x3 plate at hand but it's not required: the solution shown here is one plate higher than a single 3x3 plate would be. If you want to cover things with tiles, the extra plate height is unavoidable for 3x3 and 4x4 anyway.
You can do this with larger wedge plates too, obviously.
