To make the most of the prevailing wind blowing onto the land from the ocean in the west, planes leaving the runway or landing will point their nose into the breeze to benefit from the airspeed added to their own engines' effort.

On a visit to Willowbank wild life park with a Flickr friend September 2019 Christchurch, New Zealand.
Peafowl is a common name for three bird species in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the family Phasianidae, the pheasants and their allies. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl as peahens, though peafowl of either sex are often referred to colloquially as "peacocks".

Founded by the Willis family more than four decades ago, Willowbank is still owned and operated by members of the founding family. With more than 120 000 annual visitors, and growing, Willowbank is popular with local, national and international visitors.
New Zealand’s most comprehensive NZ themed wildlife park, the Willowbank experience tells the story of our country’s natural heritage. Using pioneering and innovative display techniques, with an emphasis on creating a natural environment and an up-close and personal interactive experience, Willowbank showcases one of New Zealand’s best displays of native species. Willowbank was the first to open a glass-free nocturnal house for kiwi in a natural environment, guaranteeing viewings every time.
Willowbank is a New Zealand leader in conservation, with success in many national, Australasian and in-house breeding programmes focusing on New Zealand native and endangered species, as well as many rare and heritage breeds of farm stock. Scientific research projects, and local partners including the Department of Conservation, the Styx River Living Laboratory, the Rare Breeds Society, the NZ Conservation Trust and the South Island Wildlife Hospital, are supported by and work alongside Willowbank.

The farmer at Litle Hildisey at the South Coast of Iceland is also a Pilot. He titles himself "Flugbóndi" (e. Air-Farmer) in the phonebook.
The field in the background is his runway and here he is taking off with his Cessna TF-SKN.
The mountain in the background ÞrÃhyrningur (e. Triangle ) named becouse of it's three summits. This mountain is the one closest to Eyjafjallajökull and many hiked up there to watch the recent volcano eruption.
I spent a sleepless night in Hong Kong airport, looked out in the morning to see this amazing sunrise.

Poster for speaking event at the TechShop - sure wish I could do full-bleed on our printer... may actually print and trim next time.
A variation of my simple realpuki dress with fancy vintage trim - can't for the life of me remember what that thread insertion method is called - it's too simple so it's not in my embriodery book. I got this trim with the other really sheer stuff (someone suggested could be silk viole instead of cotton or some sort of mix) which I had been using for these dresses.
So instead of focusing, I'm messing about with realpuki sewing. I have a bunch of Blythe Petite patterns which I'm altering for this size - I started when I first got her but you know how life is... I have underpants (really they look like tight boxers which I made when I first got her) and a muslin dress with ink stains all over (thank you, fraycheck) which I made yesterday.
