It's been a gorgeous day. At lunchtime I walked down to the waterfront and saw this sailing ship in front of the cruise ship.

Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States led by its newly created space agency NASA. It ran from 1959 through 1963 with the goal of putting a human in orbit around the Earth, and doing it before the Soviet Union, as part of the early space race. It involved seven astronauts flying a total of six solo trips. On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space in a suborbital flight after the Soviet Union had put Yuri Gagarin into orbit one month earlier. John Glenn became the first American to reach orbit on February 20, 1962. He was the third person to do so, after Soviet Gherman Titov made a day-long flight in August 1961. When the project ended in May 1963, USA was still behind the Soviet space program, but the gap was seen as closing.
This outfit is a modified "Myra" jumpsuit by Violette Field Threads. I narrowed and shortened the legs, added a wide cuff, piped the armholes and keyhole, and narrowed and shortened the neck tie. Its made of hot pink denim, with just a little stretch. On the back are mismatched, oversized white buttons. She has a coordinating hair bow. Whenever I sew for my kids, my goal is that they will actually want to wear the clothes, and that the clothes will hold up to regular, everyday use. She loves this, and played for a long time in it, doing lots of jumping, "because its a jumpsuit!"
No. 1 - 5:- Exploring Rochester - High Street
City of Great Expectations - Charles Dickens..
Elizabeth's of Eastgate
Housed in a historic Tudor building a couple of minutes' walk from the cathedral and Rochester castle, Elizabeth's of Eastgate is moving with the times. It's a comfortable place noted for its relaxed atmosphere and friendly, professional service: 'you are made to feel special and welcome, not just a number,' concluded one satisfied Mobile Food Guide reporter.
The exterior still testifies to the building's age and history, but the decor and menu tell a different story. Visitors can look forward to a mix of classic British and French-inspired dishes ranging from grilled slip sole with herb crushed potatoes and tartare sauce or roast Barbary duck breast with Madeira jus to a duo of Romney Marsh lamb with lyonnaise potatoes and rosemary jus.
You could begin with roast whole quail with buttered spinach and Cassis jus or an assiette of Cornish crab, and round things off with Baileys cheesecake or apple and pear clafoutis with cinnamon ice cream. Traditional roast beef lunches are served on Sundays. The 80-bin wine list is a carefully considered selection, with Spain and France offering the most interesting possibilities.

Mister Pumblechook's
'...eminently convernient and commodious premises'
Standing opposite Eastgate House is another large, timber-framed mansion, built in about 1684. Originally, this was one large house but is now, and probably was also in Dickens' time, divided into three separate premises. It feaqtures in Great Expectations as Mr. Pumblechook's House, where he carried on business as a corn chandler, and again in The Mystery of Edwin Drood as the offices of Mr. Sapsea, an auctioneer.
In Dickens Footsteps.

I had to pop out from work for an hour and while I was out I drove passed this field of rapeseed. When I first passed it the sky was clear blue but there was nowhere to park. I knew there was a layby on the other side of the road so stopped on the wayback, a few clouds had rolled in but I still wanted the shot. Taken in panorama mode with the Oly XZ-1.
SpirosK is the wonderful photographer for this henna project, and Danai Gourd the marvellous model. We shot in an abandoned hotel in the mountains north of Athens, Greece. The hotel was really moody, surreal, post-apocalyptic fairy in a mad maxish setting. This was one of the most fun projects I have worked on with a great crew - assistants, make up artists, everyone gave 110% of their energy to do this.
Henna was a challenge for me, not my normal style. Tried to make it thorny, not too flowery, tribally, but not too tribal, and the raggedy faerie wings were accented with water color pencil.
The cast and crew are:
Spiros K. = Photographer
Kree Arvanitas = Henna artist
Danai Gourd = Model
Jennifer Rage = Makeup Artist
Magdalini = Artist Assistant
Anastasia = Model Assistant
The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
The Ballerina Project is a worldwide photo shoot of ballerinas posed in the most random of places. Here are the beautiful and talented young ladies of the Bay Area for my take on The Ballerina Project! Stay tuned for more :)

"I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people." ~Joss Whedon
Our quiet Friday turned out to be a freaky Friday after all. Jason came to visit after getting back from Queensland and Kam surprised us with a visit as well. We ended up watching an Aussie horror movie based on real-life events, called Wolf Creek, I ended up hyperventilating a bit while Kam kept her cool interviewing Jason about his holiday chick escapades :o) We missed the happy Friday gang and always Selz, but we're planning to celebrate the end of my Project 365.
Jason showed Kam photos from his phone of "Le Hot Chic" and Kam's innocent probing resulted in this question:
Kam: "Jason...where's her face?"
Seventeen (17) more days to go...
Just wanted to thank my awesome friend Jeff for sharing a beautiful movie called Women are Heroes, saw the preview and Alex is looking for it this weekend :o) Thanks Jeff :o)
I've been thinking a lot more about life post-365, I think I might take a 2 week hiatus, have a bit of a breather and then focus more on series. I had this idea of focusing on studying artists and doing re-interpretations of their work or compositions. I don't think I'll ever fade away from flickr, this is one of the few places I feel at home. :o)
Hope you're having a great weekend dear friends :o)
Back to school for my kids. Had trouble narrowing down my favorites, but since I get so few of my son, that's what I went with. This is not standard attire for his school - the first day back for high schoolers was a retreat at a local park.
And I have to add: It was a surreal but proud experience to see him get in the car and drive himself to school. He's becoming more and more independent.

This started out as a tortured tee shirt I had laying around for quite some time. I cut it into thin strips and sewed the ends to a strip of extra jersey left over from the sleeves. Then I braided the strips and sewed up the other end with another sleeve. Then I put my hair up in a loose bun and tied the headband below the bun and tucked the ends under. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but I think I will keep experimenting until I perfect it. Maybe next time I'll use a hot pink shirt!
Families experiencing homelessness have found a home thanks to Project Homekey on April 19, 2021. LA County purchased the 41-room former Travel Plaza Inn in Compton for about $6.5 million late 2020 to serve as the only Project Homekey site dedicated to serving families. The families began moving into the property on March 5th, and currently operated by HOPICS. (Photo by Los Angeles County)
This is a work in progress restoration of my early 70's Bianchi. I think it's a Bianchi Rekord or Sprint from the early 70's, it came with a cotter type bottom bracket, and a chrome front fork shroud. It does however have a Campione del Mondo decal on the cross bar, which if original dates the bike to 1974 minimum.
I've fitted a Magistroni Chainwheel and a Campagnolo Record rear deraileur, Campagnolo Valentino matchbox front derailleur, Universal Mod 61 Brake levers, Universal mod68 brake calipers.
Ah, if there had beena Project Runway back in the 1980s!!! Here I am, looking very designerish, creating a wedding dress for a friend, Julia, who wanted a simple but elegant dress. Being a costume designer, I was inspired by the 1930s, and I designed a cream satin charmeuse dress, with a bias cut skirt and top with dolman sleeves, a dip in the back and bugle & crystal bead embroidery around the neckline.
Here we are at a fitting at the dressmakers studio, owned by my friend Joy. It was called "By Hand" and specialized in custom dressmaking down in Rancho Palos Verdes
No.7. Imagine a world where crime is so bad, u need finger print access just to get to your food. Though I have to say I'm not sure how useful that would be, because if someone is really hungry, they'll find a way to get in.

My 1970's Japanese Sekine bicycle restoration/one-speed conversion project. After powdercoat and assembly.
#258 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: My parents West Highland Terriers like to take saunas
Result: Hot Dogs
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 in a Moleskine Plain notebook
Location: Kitchen table at the farm
Note: My heritage is Finnish and my parents have a wood heated sauna. My father insisted I take the 'pups' in when I went to stew in the 80C heat...and sure enough the girls couldn't get to the top bench fast enough and play with water from the bucket....*face palm*
