Cropped version of a panorama taken by Navcam Left camera aboard Perseverance rover on sol 1250 (August 26th, 2024) at 2:30 pm Martian local time.
Perserverance rover is climbing Jezero crater rim. We can follow its tracks down to Neretva Valley that was previously explored and sampled by the rover.
Got it filled in yeah!

According to Japanese legend if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.
More generally, the Japanese associate koi (also known as carp) with perserverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals.

The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image. Today's false color image shows the western half of Jezero Crater. The Perserverance Rover is located in this part of the crater - near the delta deposit formed by the influx of silt laden water into the crater at a time during Mars' past that was wetter. The crater most likely hosted a lake for a period of time. Jezero Crater is 47km (29 miles) in diameter.
The THEMIS VIS camera is capable of capturing color images of the Martian surface using five different color filters. In this mode of operation, the spatial resolution and coverage of the image must be reduced to accommodate the additional data volume produced from using multiple filters. To make a color image, three of the five filter images (each in grayscale) are selected. Each is contrast enhanced and then converted to a red, green, or blue intensity image. These three images are then combined to produce a full color, single image. Because the THEMIS color filters don't span the full range of colors seen by the human eye, a color THEMIS image does not represent true color. Also, because each single-filter image is contrast enhanced before inclusion in the three-color image, the apparent color variation of the scene is exaggerated. Nevertheless, the color variation that does appear is representative of some change in color, however subtle, in the actual scene. Note that the long edges of THEMIS color images typically contain color artifacts that do not represent surface variation.

... as brankingston12 reminded me about two months ago.
This is a framegrab from the same Sony DCR-TRV130, captured at proper widescreen aspect ratio, just downsized a bit. (Captured it in Pinnacle Studio 12, because it doesn't squeeze the image like XP's video capture does.)
Anyway... Why my sudden obsession with my nails the last few months?
Call it jealousy... call it an experiment of sorts (since the last photo was labeled such)... call it just seeing if I could do it, and how long I can get away with it before I'm forced to trim them.
Actually, I think they're a good length as they are now. I can still type fairly decent, and fast, with them at this length. (A slight impact on speed and accuracy, but nothing I can't manage.)
How did I achieve this? Perserverance.
Up until about September 2009, I had been an avid nail-biter for most of my life. It was so bad that my cuticles were a wreck, with rampant hangnails and such. Somehow, I managed to discipline myself enough to stop biting them. (Hopefully for good!)
The other secret? Care for them. I'm a self-taught "Black Jack-of-all-trades", so I stocked up on the basics - Emery boards, salon boards, clippers, 6-way buffers, orange sticks, etc.
Here's a true story from about two hours ago (About 1800 PDT when it happened, posted this at 2011 PDT) when I picked up my car from one of the local tire and brake shops. One of the guys at the sales counter noticed, and remarked "Those are some shiny nails." - I simply acknowledged it, but didn't comment further. ^_^;
(And for the curious - Yes, I used clear nail polish. Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Plus "02 Base + Top Coat" - Laugh if you must, but it does work for adding strength and a bit of shine. I can put up with the "plastic coating" feeling, but at least they're not as brittle as they would be usually.) - Clear coat only - no colors were added.
Other than that, I just file them and shape them every week or so. I'll probably take them down about 2-3 mm and semi-square the edges a bit.
"And now you know.... The REST of the story!"
I was planning on making covers for my new Shootsac but wasn't looking forward to spending a lot of time making them. My flickr contact Amy has made her own and said Pier 1's placemats are almost perfectly sized. Boy was she right! All I had to do was trim a few inches off the top, hem it up, and add some velcro. I hit the clearance rack and it cost me about $20 (the velcro cost the same amount as the placemats!) all together and I have 3 new covers for less than the price of 1!!
I am so proud of me! I HATED sewing in home ec (I remember having to sew a pillow and finally throwing it across our dining room and stomping up to my bedroom to cry - I was homeschooled). This time around, the sewing machine and I had a few arguments and I had to call my mom to rescue me, but in the end I won out :D.

'Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands. This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey. In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.

Today's VIS image shows part of the northeastern portion of Jezero Crater. The Perserverance Rover is located on the northwestern part of the crater - near a delta deposit formed by the influx of silt laden water into the crater at a time during Mars' past that was wetter. The crater most likely hosted a lake for a period of time. The channel at the top of this image was formed by the flow of water exiting the crater.

This Mendocino, California landmark sits atop the cupola of the former Masonic Hall. It was carved from a single piece of redwood trunk and completed in 1880. One given name is "Time And The Maiden" The exact meaning is only known to Masons but one Mason summed up the meaning as "Time, patience and perserverance will accomplish all things" . The building is now occupied by a bank. We noticed a lot of ravens in the area.

My first full shoe. Have always made strappy one's. It took me quite a while to get the correct size and shape of template but the perserverance paid off. The bag is a Chanel one and the shoe is Christian Louboutin. Very happy with the result.

Bumped into Henry and he graciously allowed me to take this photo. In this recent global economic down-turn it is always our least fortunate who suffer the most. Holidays can be stressful and depressing for some. This photo reminds me of how fortunate I am despite my challenges. I also see Henry's fine example here as proof that we can overcome adversity with perserverance. Henry played his own rockin' slide guitar cover of 'Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer' here. Can he ever sing, too! Wow. Best Wishes, Henry! Thanks again! More here: www.flickr.com/search/?q=henry&w=14813074@N00

I remember when A Scanner Darkly came out. The trailers looked amazing. I am however, glad I waited for it to come out on DVD, because the movie was a total disappointment. I think I ended up falling asleep twice, on two separate occasions trying to watch it. What I did fall in love with is the visuals in the movie. It was like each character was painted in almost like a very realistic cartoon.
For people who do not do photoshop works or have never attempted it, I assure you, it IS hard work. Some of my more complicated creations have taken upwards of 4 and 5 hours to complete. That doesn't even include the ones, that have taken days because I'll start and come back and work on it later. You really have to be dedicated to your vision in order to make one of these happen. With regular photography you can just snap an image and it works or doesn't, but PS works depend on tiny tiny details all matching up, coming together, to create an illusion of something that does not exist or can't exist in reality. I was told recently by someone in internetlandia that one of my pieces didn't even look all that complicated to do and that they couldn't see the work or effort put in to it. It pissed me off. It did. I wrote back that if it was so easy to do, then everyone would do it like the millions and millions of sunset pictures out there, but this takes time, effort, dedication, perserverance, hard work to transform something in a way that someone has the balls to say, doesn't even look like effort was put in to it.
(Takes deep cleansing breath)
Let me preface this by saying, this is awful. This was my first ever attempt at this, and I am in the process of learning so no judgy faces.
I'm learning to do vector drawing a la a Scanner Darkly. This is me trying to figure it out. Some parts are making more sense than others and of course this is terribly riddled with errors. I've never used Illustrator before, and now, ahhhhhhhhhhh, something else new to learn. It never ends with this medium and that's what I like about it. There are no limits to what you can do. I'm pretty sure there are programs and apps that can do this stuff, but there is nothing satisfying about just plugging it in and having it pop up. You didn't create that, someone else did. They get the credit for their artistic and technological genius.
The hardest thing about vector drawing is unlike my layers here, you have so many different tones to the skin. This was a total cop out in that I just dropper selected one tone en masse, but to really take this effect to its full potential, like paint by numbers, you must really go in, piece by piece and select the true colors and tones of your original image. This is kind of embarressing, because this is a rather simple image color wise, no distractions of background, etc., but this (laughs) is not really turning out the way its supposed to. I'll admit, I skipped like a 100 thousand steps along the way just so I could get a general idea of what the end product would look like, but in order to get this done correctly, you first need to physically draw out each feature for the outline in the rough cut, then draw out the larger features using much more exaggerated line, then go in and create a layer for literally every part of the image---hair, lips, eyes, nose, clothes, background and then break those down to sub layers for each tone. Then manipulate the lines again. It's quite a process, one I'll be working on now with a different image. The hand on the head I think is a bit too much for me, specifically the fingers, in this my first attempt, so maybe on down the road, I'll post one with much much better results.
