I found a bunch of these under a tree. Either someone dumped them there or they fell out of the tree. The tree didn't seem to care that I took a few home.
Trees can be like that.

Her brooch design yelled at me, I just had to try it out in glass.
The local cottonwoods have released their seed pods and they are "snowing" throughout Tsawwassen. I googled the species and read some fascinating facts about this common tree that is considered a nuisance by some.
P. trichocarpa is the first woody plant genome to be sequenced. When they compared the genes of the roots and the leaves of the same trees they discovered extreme genetic variations. Scientists are using these unusual and surprising results to attempt to solve the debate of somatic evolution - that evolution can occur with a single person not just among an entire population.... interesting, this explains a lot to me about our fellow human beings :)

The common hippopotamus is semiaquatic, inhabiting rivers, lakes and mangrove swamps, where territorial bulls preside over a stretch of river and groups of five to thirty females and young. During the day, they remain cool by staying in the water or mud; reproduction and childbirth both occur in water. They emerge at dusk to graze on grasses. While hippopotamuses rest near each other in the water, grazing is a solitary activity and hippos are not territorial on land.
This pod of bachelors was spotted from a helicopter at the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
I didn't make a damned thing today. I took photos and edited them and got them up on the website.
Also, i feel like I'm cheating. This isn't anything about making a complete collection- this is what i do for a living. I mean, I love what I do for a living, but I'd be doing this regardless of TADA, and I don't really plan to ever show my new jewelry as a "collection", since I don't ever plan to go to a fair again (hah!).
That said, i think I'm gonna keep cheating, if it's ok with you guys. It'll be the equivalent of those nights I wrapped a twist tie around my finger and called it my Ring a Day.
same plant from yesterday, different seed pod. riverdale farm, cabbagetown, toronto.
...
like local library branches, the riverdale farm faces severe cuts and possibly being closed if the right-wing idiots in city council get their way. the audit of city services conducted by kpmg was stupidly short-sighted and failed to account for ripple effects in any way, as the firm was (unsurprisingly) not asked to look beyong the initial step of cutting expenditures.
toronto, like most cities, makes many millions of dollars via tourism, some of it internal (local residents travelling across town, people within an hour or two of the city coming for entertainment) and a great deal of it sourced nationally and internationally. places like riverdale farm, allan gardens, waterfront parks, the islands and so on may seem incidental or unimportant all on their own, but they add huge value to the city. eliminating them or severely trimming their operating hours transforms a unique city with distinct attractions valued by broadly varied demographics, thereby reducing the value of the city as a tourist destination. this attacks the hotel, restaurant, bar and many other industries, not to mention local transit (both public and private), general shopping and any other business that depends on even a sliver of the money from people who now come here, but who will choose other destinations with more and more varied lures. businesses are also less likely to consider opening up franchises, plants or stores (yes, i'm fixating on economic factors here - these are the arguments that permeate the skulls of the people who remain unconvinced) if their staff will have diminished offtime lives or if the corporate heads feel that the area has done little to attract educated, progressive people. infrastructure matters a great deal, and one layer of infrastructure is the network of amenities and services that workers, tourists and local citizens have to make their lives easier, more fulfilled and appealing to them and their friends, families and colleagues, many of whom come to visit and want to explore a dynamic environment, not one that devoid of unique properties.
clearly the clown ford brothers and their sycophants on city council have a vision for the city, but it is a grim, money-driven one that has no vision of the character of a place they grudgingly call home. i hated the amalgamation of the city when it happened, and the terrible decision that was is apparent more and more with this idiot mayor and troglodyte council. this disgusting clown of a mayor has nothing but contempt for anyone and anything not whitebread, uninflected and devoid of personality, so his insight into the values of the downtown core and other areas of the city beyong his grey compound are worthless. toronto thrives on diversity and has for a long time - these attacks on small, unique attractions are in line with his hatred of pride day and people who aren't heterosexual and white like him.
fuck ford, his brother, the rest of the right wing and kpmg for this myopic and bullshit report. every single person who voted for these assholes or support them in any way should have their livelihoods threatened the way these cuts threaten the lives and paycheques of decent people who value diversity and don't want toronto to become a fucking strip mall populated with multinational chain outlets staffed by people who want to drive home after work and watch television.
fuck those who want to kill riverdale farm and sign the petition here, then email your city councillor and the nasty fraud of a mayor (Mayor_Ford@toronto.ca) to tell them you won't tolerate it.
further, the local libraries are also under attack by this filth. join team atwood and help preserve literacy in toronto while pointing out to rob ford and his sycophantic shitheads at city hall that libraries are important and deserve funding. online petition here, which i signed and added this comment to:
Rob Fraud and the rest of these moronic reactionary fools are prime examples of the reason why we should be investing in more and broader forms of education and not closing libraries. A learned population would not vote for these hateful imbeciles in the first place.
Donativo a Cruz Roja
Martes, 19 de Junio de 2012
Isabel Salomón de López, Presidenta del Voluntariado del Poder Judicial del Estado, entregó a la Cruz Roja Mexicana, Delegación Puebla, un cheque por cien mil trescientos veinte pesos, recaudación de la Colecta Anual lograda con aportación del personal que labora en el Tribunal Superior de Justicia.
Al entregar el donativo, puntualizó que la Cruz Roja es una Institución con fines no lucrativos, y que día a día requiere más del apoyo de todos los ciudadanos, porque cotidianamente se transforma para servir y apoyar a las personas que realmente lo necesitan.
En una ceremonia efectuada en el auditorio de la Cruz Roja, hicieron acto de presencia, además de la Presidenta del Voluntariado del Poder Judicial, el ingeniero José Manuel Cervantes Jiménez, Delegado estatal y la licenciada Paula Sauko de Murrieta, Presidenta Consejo Directivo de la Benemérita institución; y, señora María Eugenia Gómez de Lara y licenciado Jesús Ruiz González, del área administrativa de Cruz Roja, entre otros.
Asistieron Jueces y esposas de Magistrados del Tribunal Superior de Justicia, a quienes Cervantes Jiménez, agradeció la participación del personal que labora en el Poder Judicial, ya que la aportación que hicieron en esta colecta fue superior a la de años anteriores.
Expresó que son numerosos los beneficios que aporta la Cruz Roja Mexicana, Delegación Puebla, de la que se tiene la imagen equivocada de que solamente ofrece servicio de ambulancias, lo que es erróneo, puesto que esta Institución presta servicios humanos de gran valor y sin diferencias de raza, género y posición socio económica.
Ante los presentes, tanto del Voluntariado del Poder Judicial como de la Cruz Roja Delegación Puebla, patentizó reiteradas veces su agradecimiento al Tribunal Superior de Justicia, e hizo mención especial del Magistrado Presidente David López Muñoz, por el respaldo brindado a esta colecta.
Destacó que con esta aportación, podrán subsanar muchas necesidades existentes en esta Institución.
Por su parte, la señora Isabel Salomón de López, en el uso de la palabra, expresó su agradecimiento al personal del Poder Judicial, tanto a Magistrados como a Jueces, personal administrativo y de base, por su valiosa colaboración en esta colecta dos mil doce.
Agradeció a su esposo, el Magistrado López Muñoz, por el respaldo y facilidades brindadas para realizar esta tarea de incalculable valor humano.
Por su parte, el Ingeniero Cervantes Jiménez, puso en manos de la señora Salomón de López, el diploma con reconocimiento especial al Tribunal Superior de Justicia por su participación en esta colecta dos mil doce.
Al concluir la ceremonia, los representantes de la Cruz Roja en Puebla, hicieron entrega de diplomas de reconocimiento a las Damas integrantes del Voluntariado del Poder Judicial, así como a Jueces, Juezas y representantes del área administrativa que participaron en la colecta anual de Cruz Roja.

I like how the orange contrasts with the other colours. Thanks to Erikjeperikje for some ideas that led to the cowling and the electronics between the 2 pods!
