Happy Tamil New Year!
It's lovely to go to a temple where responsible photography is encouraged.
"Every religion has its own calendar, but the Hindus have many. In a culturally diverse India, New Year is celebrated on different dates and in different ways.
Tamilians too have their own calendar and New Year is observed on the first day of Chithirai month, which usually falls on April 14.
This year’s Tamil New Year, which is known as Puthandu or Puthuvarusham, is called ‘Hevilambi or Hemalamba Nama Varsha’. The Tamil calendar has a 60-year cycle and each year has a different name. According to the Tamil calendar, 2017 is the 31st year in the cycle. The outgoing year was called ‘Dhunmuki’ and the next year will be ‘Vilambi.’
‘Puthandu’ is the New Year for the Tamil’s which is observed in the month of Chitteraim, which is also the first month of the Tamil solar calendar. On the last day of the last year, or on the eve of Puthandu all Tamilians household prepare a tray. This tray is laden with three kinds of fruits — mango, banana, and jackfruit, areca nuts and couple of betel leaves, gold or silver jewellery, a mirror, some cash, rice, coconut, and flowers. This is to be viewed the first thing in the morning. This tradition is called as ‘Kanni’. Post the Kanni, people have a cleansing bath and throng to the temples to seek divine blessings.
A tray consisting of vegetables, fruits, betel leaves, gold ornaments and a mirror is placed in the pooja room and one would view his face in the mirror once he wakes up in the morning before engaging in other activities. Reading the Panchangam or the almanac is the long-followed tradition among those who celebrate the day.
Tamils make it special by wearing new clothes, preparing sweets and by visiting temples. As per beliefs, Lord Brahma started the process of creating the universe on this auspicious day.
‘Puthandu’ or ‘Tamil New Year’ is a celebration of the New Year observed by the people of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Tamil’s in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Mauritious and Singapore too observe this day with fanfare and enthusiasm. This auspicious occasion is also known as ‘Varusha Pirappu’.
It is generally believed that Lord Brahma started his creations and hence it is considered to be exceptionally holy" - Free Press Journal © Copyright Indian National Press (Bombay) Private Limited 2017. All Rights Reserved.

This year in our garden, we grew a patch of sugar beets.
The process for extracting the sugar is a long one, at least the first time you try it.
The directions I found were technical, and would be best performed with some machinery designed for the purpose, and of course Jean found some better instruction geared toward the home process.
I hope!
the Great Backyard Bird Count starts today-so get out there and get counting!
Also? This year for the first time it is GLOBAL!!
I hope to get these guys if not today, tomorrow :)
This is the process of unloading coke into stockpiles. The coke is unloaded into bins on the dock. Then front end loaders transfer the coke into dump trucks. The trucks then dump into the stockpile where it will be covered. 10/12/13

Another shot of our fun photo session. Thinking of doing super natural makeup next time for contrast.
Created in Adobe Illustrator and colored in Processing. I used the features of the newest version of Processing to randomly color the image...the SVG was placed in memory and its XML colors were changed every frame. With the SVG in memory, the framerates are pretty high for this sort of manipulation.
I'm looking forward to seeing what people can do with SVGs in Processing.
