"Desert Waterfall Sunset 2:" I was grateful that a lesser-known ephemeral waterfall in the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, AZ was still flowing when I went to visit last month. The contrast of the cool flowing water with the rugged desert landscape, dotted with saguaros and ocotillo paint an uncommon scene. As a bonus, I was thrilled to also see some beautiful scarlet monkeyflowers on the flanks of the falls. One magical thing still photos can't share that I experienced is the wonderful sound of the canyon frogs that began their chorus here exactly as the sun had set, followed by the long hike back in the dark!

..... as taught to me by the delightful Terri Simmons of "Cakes by Design"
....... and as requested by some of you!
You will need:
Leaf gelatine
33 gauge flower wires (white for flowers but you could use green for leaves) ...... they must be paper covered wires for gelatine flowers and leaves.
Paste colours
Metal petal cutters (optional)
Heatproof receptacle for the gelatine
Somewhere to dry the petals i.e. a block of oasis
Stamens
Flower tape
Paintbrush
Method:
1. Soak your gelatine leaf in cold water until it feels soft and squidgey like a wet J-cloth! (about 10 mins)
2. While it's soaking prepare your wires. Either make your petal shape free-hand or mould them round a metal petal cutter. Twist the wire to enclose the shape. You can paint it with the paste colour or leave it white.
3. Take the soggy gelatine sheet out of the water, shake off the excess water and put it into a heat-proof container that is sitting in hot water. This can be in a saucepan of simmering water or just in another bowl with boiling water. If you use the latter, be sure to keep it topped up with boiling water so that the gelatine stays liquid. Stir in what ever colour you like.
4. Slide in your wire petal so that it is totally submerged. You can either do this by tipping the gelatine container at an angle or by bending your wire to a right angle with the base of the petal and dipping it straight in.
5. Take it out slowly and carefully so that you have a film of gelatine covering the entire petal shape. (Just like dipping the wand into bubble blowing liquid!). If the "bubble" breaks ..... just re-dip it!
6. This is just to show you the gelatine film.
7. Hold upright to let any excess gelatine run down the wire. You can pick this off later when it is dry.
8. Stick it into a block of oasis (or whatever else you use) to dry for about half an hour.
9. Meanwhile, make the centres by taping some stamens to a wire.
10. When the petals are dry, shape them by bending them gently over your finger. The only thing you can't do is to widen them as the gelatine will then tear, otherwise you can play around to your heart's content! Tape as many petals as you like to the centre ..... just like you would with sugar flowers.
You can make a green calyx and / or leaves in exactly the same way.
Fairy and Insect Wings:
The method is essentially the same but with a couple of changes.
11. This time you must use bare wires ..... either florist's wire or fuse wire would do fine. Either make your shape round a butterfly cutter or do it free-hand.
12. The gelatine is uncoloured but there's nothing to say it shouldn't be coloured! LOL
Once dry ..... and this time leave it for about an hour ...... gently peel the wire away from the gelatine (this is why it needs to be a bare wire).
You will then have a gossamer thin wing which you can paint if you like!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I hope you can follow this and I'm sorry about the poor photos but I was doing it on my own as "Santa's Little Helper" had gone to B&Q to buy cement .... I don't think it was for flower-making though !!!! LOL
Do give it a go...... it's VERY much easier than it sounds and these flowers are so robust when made!
I look forward to seeing your gelatine flowers!
For those who didn't see it, here's the finished flower:

THE IMAGE:
This is a long overdue revision of an image I captured 8 years ago! Some nice lighting conditions on the Oregon Coast. Not only that, but the moon was in the scene (you may have to look carefully)! Blending for Dynamic Range was easily accomplished by using my unique Layer Style "Blend If" method. Thus avoiding the problem areas (8-bit selections) of some popular Luminosity Masks. For more information on that simple yet powerful method, please refer to my Blending Video Tutorial.

ODC. Oh what fun.
Surrealism has began! I've been inspired recently by some levitation images I've seen floating around the internet... so I thought I'd try my hand at it, and I must say I'm obsessed! And I can't wait to try some more.

A 'modern classic' if ever there was one, Porsche's long-running 911 sports car first appeared at the 1963 Frankfurt Show as the '901', but shortly after production proper commenced in 1964 had become the '911' following Peugeot's complaints about the use of '0' model numbers. The preceding Type 356's rear-engined layout was retained but the 911 switched to unitary construction for the body/chassis and dropped the 356's VW-based suspension in favour of a more modern McPherson strut and trailing arm arrangement. In its first incarnation, Porsche's single-overhead-camshaft, air-cooled, flat-six engine displaced 1,991cc and produced 130bhp; progressively enlarged and developed, it would eventually grow to more than 3.0 litres and, in turbo-charged form, put out well over 300 horsepower.
Chassis number '300941' is one of the early, short-wheelbase 911s much favoured by the Historic rallying fraternity, a situation that has led to unmodified examples such as this one becoming a great rarity and consequently much in demand. It belongs to the '0-Programme' series built from the start of production in August 1964 up to the introduction of the 'A-Programme' model in August 1967, and thus represents the Porsche 911 in its earliest and purest form.
Although a left-hand drive model, this Porsche 911 was delivered new on 20th April 1965 via the UK importer AFN Ltd to Mr. Irwin Edward Leventen in London. Chassis number '300941' left the factory finished in Light Ivory with the full black leather interior (a very rare and hardly ever seen option). The accompanying Porsche certificate shows that the car was delivered fitted with the desirable five-speed gearbox, tinted glass, headrests, Blaupunkt Köln radio, loudspeaker and antenna, Dunlop tyres and a Webasto heater. It has since been fitted with Weber carburettors. The original Solex carburettors and corresponding air filters are still in the possession of the current owner and will be supplied to the future owner.
This car's early history may be traced in the service book, which records several services between 1965 and 1967 in London, Fellbach, Stuttgart, Berlin and Rimini. The Porsche was then left in an underground car park in Paris for 17 years having travelled around 27,000 miles when taken off the road.
A mechanic in the south-west of France discovered and bought the car in 1984 before it was finally purchased by the current owner in 1986, when the odometer showed 34,000 miles. The long immobilization had stuck the piston rings and marked the cylinders, which were changed by Paris-based Porsche mechanic Michel Pailleux. In 1991 the Porsche participated in the 'International Meeting 356' at Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and by 2009 had travelled another 10,000 miles.
In 2012 the 911 was entrusted to the well-known Porsche specialist RSO Motorsport for an extensive restoration. The car was fully stripped and the right rocker panel and the two front wings replaced; the floors remain original. According to our vendor, the car was found to be exceptionally healthy. The engine was simply removed and cleaned, the carburettors adjusted (by B2H) and the distributor renewed. The brakes are new all around. It was decided to leave the nicely patinated interior and carpets in place as they were in very good original condition like the rest of the car. The windscreen was changed but unfortunately it proved impossible to find a green-tinted example like the original. There are restoration bills on file totalling €29,000.
The Porsche has travelled a mere 2,500 miles since its restoration (the current odometer reading is 46,561 miles). The vendor advises us that the engine, transmission, chassis, body and paintwork are all in very good condition, while the engine is said to be smooth and powerful and the gearbox easy and precise. During our test drive, we noted that the car handled very well on both slow and fast stretches of road. The spare wheel is unused and the original Solex carburettors and their air filter are supplied with the car. Registered in France, this lovely early Porsche 911 comes with its maintenance booklet, its certificate issued by Porsche France confirming that the car has matching chassis and engine numbers, jack, tool kit (non-original), car cover and a luggage rack to be fitted to the engine cover.

The irony about this shot is that we are in a little tiff today. And by little tiff I mean, he is horribly wrong and I am waiting for him to realize it.
No, I am kidding. We do have it all worked out, but I just giggle that this is my post this morning. The truth is, I wouldn't want to fight with anyone but him.
Ok. I was asked by bratzarecool on Kali's BNDM audition picture
*( www.flickr.com/photos/lydiathedollynerd/5359765133/in/set... )* a while back on how I did her bump hairstyle, but since it was too hard for me to explain in text, I promised to share a tutorial...so here it (finally) is! I'm using Krystell (Magic Hair Color Raya) as the hair model, since it is much easier working with longer, thicker hair for this hairstyle.
You will need:
a) 1 hair comb
b) 2 small hair ties/bands or 1 band & 1 decorative bow/clip
In addition, I recommend you also use:
a) hot water (boiled or straight from the tap/faucet)
b) conditioner (any)
c) hair spray (any)

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Back to the working week and a guy smartly dressed in suit and tie but without any socks. It looks a bit wrong to me but I know nothing about fashion. A lucky break with the crooked paving slab in the frame which keeps the shot balanced by centring the eyes after exploring the shot. Enjoy!

Health isn’t optional piersey.com/health-wake-up-call-story/ and your body will eventually tell you that. This is the honest breakdown of my wake-up call, the signs I ignored, and what finally pushed me into real change.
Leyland Atlantean with Park Royal body in Leeds city centre West Yorkshire September 1998. New in 1978 to National Bus Company subsidiary London Country Bus Services as AN147, then after deregulation became part of London Country South West and Drawlane London&Country. In August 1998 it was acquired by Lynn of Horsforth trading as Optional Bus, who retained the London&Country livery. The company and the bus later became part of First Group subsidiary Quickstep Travel.
Welcome to Me Again Monday!
The theme this week is something about me...so here is something about me:
The reading glasses are not a prop - although I like to tell myself they make me look wise rather than old.
Blue is my favourite colour
On special occassions, like the start of a new group, I like to show up with no pants on :)
I'm really excited to see everyone's self portrait submissions...and let me be the first to say:
Happy Me Again Monday!
