***Smile on Saturday theme: toilet paper
I recently found out that the umbrella bags (usually available at businesses you visit) can be handy to store extra toilet tissue in your closet. (has to be the wider opening though...)

The fine art photography magazine, Arte Fotografica Issue 61, is now available online, also soon to be issued in print. I'm very privileged to be included as one of six featured photographers in this months publication. I was invited to submit twelve images of which they selected nine. This one of the images they chose not to include and, although it is similar to a previous image of the Selfridges Building that I have posted before, I thought I'd use it as a good excuse to point you in the direction of the magazine. Many thanks to Jorge at Arte Fotografica for the invitation and opportunity to show my photography to a wider audience.

Today Margaret managed to jump especially high, all the while I’ve spent most of the day onboard my spaceship, studying the influence of prominent peripheral objects on a polar warped panoramas… In short, goofing around again :)

As the first horizontal rays of sunlight penetrate the oaks this doe is pursued by a buck. She will likely produce two little spotted fawns next Spring. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Charlie Brown decided he'd like a little home of his own. I used to make lots of houses out of cardboard tubes when I was young - what better way to recycle them.

A collection of green objects from around my studio.
And...for a closer peek at these green objects. Enjoy!
Space Police central database access granted.
Connecting to Sol Precinct… connected.
Processing your query now… done. One match found for "Jovian Fleet".
----
The Jovian Fleet is a criminal syndicate organized under the leadership of former Space Police Officer Nigel MacGruder, who escaped custody and went into hiding after his smuggling activities were discovered. MacGruder has since assembled a sizable fleet of vessels and has been making a growing nuisance of himself, preying on commercial traffic between Earth and the asteroid belts and using his extensive knowledge of Space Police procedures and tactics to rebuild his smuggling empire.
The word "Jovian" doesn't mean the fleet is friendly, it's a reference to their chosen territory in the area of Sol 5 and 6, the planets Jupiter and Saturn. The massive size of these worlds combined with their turbulent atmospheres offers the Jovian Fleet an effectively unlimited number of hiding places, as their ships have been retrofitted with reinforced hulls and integrity fields that allow them to dive deep enough into the atmospheres of the Jovian worlds to escape detection.
Despite an obsession with ornate accommodations and ostentatious trappings, MacGruder is a hard man and a dangerous enemy. We have been attempting to infiltrate his organiztion for some time, and while we've succeeded in inserting a few personnel, they have all met brutal ends at the hands of MacGruder's elite personal strike force, a group of hand-picked operatives he calls the Blood Wardens. This surveillance still from MacGruder's flagship became infamous after he leaked it to the public networks, intended as an object lesson to any would-be informants or traitors. The two men lying dead on the floor were our best source of inside information at the time, and the message sent by their executions was heard loud and clear throughout the criminal underground.
The trigger man was MacGruder's second in command Nathan Wulf, seen standing to the right with the flechette pistol. We don't have names for the two Wardens behind him, but the woman standing by the window with the scoped energy weapon we know only as Aegis, a former freelance sniper who joined MacGruder's fleet several years ago.
Also shown are several of MacGruder's line troops, armed with Jovian Fleet Service Rifles and wearing the distinctive transparent shield visors seen on so many boarding actions. We don't know what MacGruder calls the two men in the back corners of the room, but from their ceremonial garb and unique weapons we suspect they're some sort of personal guard. The woman kneeling at his right is likely a mistress of some kind; MacGruder is not known to keep or deal in slaves.
Exercise extreme caution when patrolling within the Jovian orbits. MacGruder's fleet is not above attacking lone Space Police vessels if he thinks he has the advantage.

I looked around the house for things I use, and took a shot. In post some cropping, color correction, nothing special....
Guess what it is??
