Branch Forum time again. This is my method for sorting out the seating arrangements. Each colour represents a different team. I try to mix the teams up as much as possible for that people get to chat with others they might not work with everyday.

I was inspired by a magazine and some blogs to start decluttering. I found the remnants of my 20-piece sharpie set (notice that all the good colors disappeared) and put them into this paper cup I got at a museum last year. (Was it in Chicago?). There are also IKEA markers in there.
I'm making up for some weeks I've missed. this week' assignment was fire. I took this tonight at a restaurant's outdoor fire place.
Project 365 - Take one photo each day.
We are now officially part of the Wii generation!
Had a shot of the golf and boxing last night. The light fitting is still in-tact depsite me hitting it with the Wii-mote, and I'm still in tact despite being exhausted after a few rounds of the boxing!
The fitness games and activities look fun I must admit.
John claims this is to keep our wee nephew occupied when he visits. Yeah, ok. Whatever!
No chance to get out of the office at lunchtime today, its late and I'm tired, so this will have to do for today's shot.
I was lucky enough to be invited out to lunch with some Western Neighborhoods Project members, then we were treated to a private tour of Battery Townsley in the Marin Headlands.
The Paseo de las Iglesias Phase 1 project has 3 main goals per the Bond: River Park, Ecosystem Restoration and Erosion Protection. Below is a summary of each of the final amenities in each category to be constructed onsite.
The project will provide river park pathway and amenities including 2.7 miles of paved pathway (16’ wide), 2.2 miles of DG pathway (8’ wide) and 10,305 new trees, shrubs and cacti irrigated using permanent irrigation, temporary irrigation and Dri-water irrigation methods. The water sources will be reclaimed water. With the construction of Paseo de las Iglesias the Loop will have an 8 mile continuous section on the Santa Cruz River. Amenities will also include 3 parking areas; the west side paved parking area with restroom, ramada and seating, east side paved parking and ramada, and west side equestrian staging area with dirt parking and mounting block.
The project will provide ecosystem restoration element including a plant pallet comprised of native species local to this part of the Santa Cruz but also sustainable for current conditions, water harvesting basins, preserve in place areas for vegetation and habitat, and special habitat structures like lizard habitat and raptor perches. Additionally, Lizard and amphibian salvage to be performed by RFCD though subcontract to Dr. Rosen at U of A. RFCD contracted with Dr. Rosen to collect and monitor lizards in a fenced off area off Cottonwood Lane south of the Community Garden. The fence has been constructed by Dr. Rosen and lizard catching is in progress. Other amphibians will also be salvaged for later release. This will be treated as a do not disturb area during construction. The focus of the restoration work will be improvement to Mesquite Circle Pond which is home to 9 unique and special interest native species and one of the jewels of urban Tucson herpetological community.
The project will provide erosion protection including 1.4 miles of new soil cement bank protection, 0.4 miles of gabion bank protection, and additional methods such as rip rap, rock plating and terracing.
In addition to the decorative elements designed by the landscape architect there will be Public Art elements. With the assistance of the Tucson Pima Arts Council, we selected public artist Andy Dufford. He has been working on an entry monument and ramada for the project site. We have also been working with Las Artes, a local Arts and Education center, on a tile mural at the restroom.
During the design process our individual Section 404 permit was obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers, cultural resources mitigation was performed and letter of clearance issued from SHPO, Intergovernmental Agreement obtained with from the City of Tucson regarding property within the project area and permits with ADOT applied for. A cultural resources/archeological Phase I, Class III study was completed. The study was conducted to the current standard and determined the extent of archeological resources on site. Based on the results from the study a mitigation plan was created to determine and plan for the extent of the impacts of the project and the necessary remediation. Additionally, a goal of the project is to create signage for a segment the proposed pathway to represent the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail along the west bank of the Santa Cruz River that commemorates the 1775-1776 expedition and the historic Paseo de las Iglesias Trail.
The Sixth Annual Empty Bowls Project on Thursday February 4, 2016 at Saline (Michigan) High School. This fundraiser for Food Gatherers of Washtenaw County was an evening of food, entertainment and community as we celebrate an opportunity to help end hunger! Participants enjoyed a bowl of soup, fresh bread, beverage and dessert prepared by the Culinary Arts Students at Saline High School. Musicians at Saline High School and Saline Middle School provided the entertainment. They also got to take home a handmade ceramic bowl created by Saline Area Schools Art Students (grades 3-12) in celebration of the project. This is a great fundraiser that brings attention to hunger in our own community.
For one of the projects for my photography course, I had to produced a set images that show "The Spirit of the Place". Knowing it fairly well, I chose Tutbury Castle as my subject.

MISFITS - "Lost In Space"
go!
of all the things they taught you
i'm telling you this, son
all the wars fought before won't compare to this one
giant spiders prepare to take over
here comes another
mutant suicide-squad
you blast them out
but now you're way off course
you start to shiver and shake
i'm calling you, Houston
am i following....
all the right leads?
or am i about to get
lost in space?
when my time comes
they'll write my destiny
will you take this ride?
communication's lost
we crash to the earth
too late to see the giant
spider monster giving birth
the future is here...
and here is the future
am i following....
all the right leads?
or am i about to get
lost in space?
when my time comes
they'll write my destiny
will you take this ride with me?
Today was the first time ever I took both girls to Target by myself. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but with a 9 month old and a 2 year old I was always afraid it wouldn't be worth going through the effort to haul them there. Well today I was up for the adventure and too my surprise it was a smooth and successful trip!
For about a year now, everytime I go to Target I check out there dollar section and always seem to find fun items for the girls: board books, puzzles, stickers, little art projects, cute pencils, stationary etc.. So I usually pick up a few things and store them away in a "rainy day" bin for use someday. This time around I found some Valentine goodies. I love making Valentine projects and will look forward to pulling these out in a few weeks!
Around this time next year everyone in my office block will be moving to a different office block. I thought it would be interesting to photograph the view from the window on the first working day of each month between now and then. Although I started back at work last week I only thought of it today so this is my March shot. I didn't want to wait until April because, as you can see, we are about to lose the view because of the building going up. Last year a building was dismantled from the same place so the view is relatively new.

This spectacular sound and light show was the culmination of the "Harmonium Project" marking the 50th anniversary in 2015 of the Edinburgh Festival.
John Adam's work "Harmonium" was the inspiration for this project with the Edinburgh Festival Chorus and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The lighting effects were by 59 Productions.
#79 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: It's Christmas time..
Result: A pair of foxes and a Finnish Tonttu having a playful gallop across the fresh fallen snow.
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens, in a Moleskine plain journal
Location: At home
Note: I was minding my 3 year old niece for most of the day so I only had a short time for a quick piece, but a project is a project and the day demanded a finished sketch. This is based on a doodle I did at the kitchen table while my charge was busy drawing horses…or at least I think they were horses…they could have been dinosaurs <.<

My local camera shop started carrying packs of The Impossible Project film so I decided to give them a try. I had a little trouble developing this one.
