More progress on the Mellerstain Parrots

This gravel conveyor belt loads barges with sorted gravel destined for markets as far away as Los Angeles. The gravel is from massive glacial deposits a few hundred metres inland on native land, and tax loopholes make it profitable to ship it to faraway markets. And the skull? An old barnacle group.

August 7th and the stone wall has been completed apart from some maintenance pointing. The wood pile has been relocated along with all the pieces of sand stone left over. The garden area has now all been sown with grass seed with good growth on that which was sown 2 weeks ago. The old iron railings that Dave has carefully extended are fitted & have been painted. The very heavy 550kg concrete ring & cap have been installed over the rain water tank.

Blushing!

Well, it's eight days later and not only have the first two plants pulled through any transplant shock but they seem to have grown quite a bit too. Not surprisingly that first Yellow Pear tomato did the best since that long stem no doubt pushed out a lot of roots. Sweetening the soil with composted manure and peat moss seems to have done the trick too...

I love this. Dan Shwartz (http://www.danschwartz.org/phone.html) even got the Apple progress bar into this theme! Brilliant.

After session #5

i ended up using some of my large drawings i made in the beginning of the project because i was short of paper and i liked how it looked

BEST VIEWED LARGE. Site of World Trade Center, December 2006. Panoramic composed from three photos, taken through a hole in the fence.

Painting session #6...starting to get into details, did another layer on the sky and clouds. next session I'll finish up what I want to do to the sky and clouds, then on the the trees and bushes. Right now, I'd say at least 4 more sessions will complete it.
