Our guide in the Sahara was scouting the scene from the top of a high dune, just a little cloud was completing the scene. shared with pixbuf.com
The limestone meets the sea at Jack Scout on Morecambe Bay. The sky was looking good for a sunset as I walked through the woods near Silverdale, so I headed here to the cliffs, only to witness another "cloud hoover" of the sky!
So looking for a bit of foreground interest I found this area of limestone with a small clump of "Sea Thrift". The rocks provide a bit of a lead into the Kent Estuary and you can see the Central Lake District fells in the far distance as the sun sets over Southern Cumbria.
The Semipalmated Plover is quite different than the peeps migrating through Homer, Alaska. It doesn't have a long beak to sift through the mud as they do. It searches for its prey visually as it runs for a bit, then stops and looks, and then grabs at any food within range. It doesn't fly with the peeps but on its own, chirping all the while. That said, it's a marvelous bird to watch.

To survive in the harsh deserts of Arknaz, toughness and endurance is of paramount importance. The Talon class scout ship from Torgin Industries is certain to get you through any situation. With twin hover disks and boundless agility, this is an ideal ship for traversing desolate and dangerous places. A small yet formidable gun is mounted up front, and countermeasures can be found on the top of the Talon. The thrusters on the sides of the ship provide an extra boost which could decide between life and death. Your comrades might not always have your back, but the Talon will.
A huge huge thank you to my InnovaLUG guys who critiqued this build and gave some great advice. I was really inspired by the MAK Firefly, so I based the front of the Talon off of the Firefly, but after that, I let my imagination run wild. :)
God bless!

Happy Birthday my allerbeste vriend
Here is my present for you
A scooter.
Your very own vehicle! I hope you like it.
I made it all by myself!
You can also have someone on the back with you.
I think Aurora would really like that.
I put on my tutu especially for your birthday, so we can dance.
Shall we play hide-and-seek and eat some of that deliciously made special Daddy cake....and...and ...I get to stay with you.
Where is my dearest princess Rosie????
OTIS: "Look, the snowdrops are blooming! It reminds me that it`s March and our Australian friend Scout`s Birthday!"
PAT: " Isn`t strange that they know the Scout`s Birthday!"
ODESSA: "Nature is very smart and doesn`t forget anything, even birthdays!
So, we can continue our tradition and send to Scout lots of snowdrops, birthday hugs and kisses!"
PAT: " Odessa, don`t forget the honey jars!"
ODESSA: " Oh, yes! No!"
Singing together:
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!

A number of times I've been running late and reached this same point along the edge as the sun rises. This time the gap in the clouds was in just the right place.
A classic overview of the city skyline of Kansas City, Missouri but this time I took several steps back to frame the shot with the tree. I raced out on this night thinking the sunset would be epic. There were several thin clouds about and I was hoping the sun would just burst them into an array of colors. It never materialized the way I hoped but I was still happy enough with the shot. The clouds add a little drama to the sky and I was hoping to anchor the shot with the tree roots on the bottom right.

An old shot from a few years ago. A wonderful sunset looking towards the downfall on Kinder Scout.
Struggled to compose a foreground, but the conditions were fantastic.

At that time it was around a hundred yen to the dollar. Nikkor AI lenses were half the price the NYC stores were asking. I stocked up on the AI prime lenses I still use. This was probably a brand new 35 1.4.

SCOUT: "Hullo everyone! Look! Look at me! I'm a pretty princess with a purple crown! When I saw these pretty purple rhinestone pegs on Daddy’s desk, I was determined to get my paws on them! They make great accessories for dress-ups. Look! I made a crown!" *Preens.* "Do you think I look pretty? I do!" *Preens more.* "Who wants to play princesses with me?"
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 23rd of March is "clothes pegs". If you follow my photostream, you will be familiar with Paddy (my Paddington Bear whom I have had since I was two years old) and his friend Scout, as they often feature in stories and adventures on Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and sometimes other days of the week, such as this photo for today’s theme. This is Scout, and Scout likes getting dressed up and playing make believe, especially in furs and as a member of royalty! He is very ingenious and resourceful, as is demonstrated by the crown he is wearing, which he has created using some rhinestone covered purple clothes pegs that formerly were mine, but now are undoubtedly his, and a lilac satin ribbon. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Another side project in between commissions. The sculpting was finished a few weeks ago, but I finally got around to painting it.
I never liked LEGO's scout trooper helmet, the proportions and positioning of parts were all wrong. I was originally going to make this a decaled figure, but decided to sculpt it all the way. Knowing that walking around in Endor's mud is no clean task, I dirtied the boots and weathered the gun to make him look like he's seen a speeder chase or two.
The speeder is based off of BrickDoctor's speeder from ages ago, modified for my own interpretation. I figured if I was going to make a nice scene with this guy, it just wouldn't be complete without the speeder.
I'll post a video review after I post Rey's soon. So as always, expect more, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

These sculptural gritsone tors are found where the path to Grindslow Knoll branches off from the southern edge path on Kinder Scout.
This is one of many cabins that scouts use, its situated by a lovely lake.
I guess, and hope, that there has been lots of fun in this area when they have been visiting

Scout,
When we got you in the summer of 2017, I was very sad. I had reached a point of philosophical exhaustion. I didn't know it at the time, but you'd ferry me into the world of absurdism, a barking antidote to the nihilism that had plagued me throughout my teen years. If this life was meaningless, so be it; this dog demanded celebration.
You were gentle, deeply inquisitive, and rigidly particular about everything. You noticed when anything was awry; if a tree branch fell down in the backyard, you would bark at it until we moved it. Once, when the neighbors got a new trashcan, you barked at it until we assured you at length it was okay. You only would use the bathroom behind a single pine tree. You quickly fell into a daily routine and were perturbed when things happened off-schedule. The song "Ave Maria" calmed you into a trancelike state; "Silent Night" by "Carol Cats," featuring a chorus of melodic meows, sent you into fits of howling. You played the strangest games of fetch, leaving us crawling behind couches to recover the ball for another toss. You liked fish, but rejected hamburgers and steak -- what dog rejects steak?
And, perhaps most absurd of all, within a few months of bringing you home, your floppy ears grew to the size of satellite dishes; your chest grew barrel-like; and your legs barely grew at all. Your irregular form, and particular markings, led me into a world of whimsy: "Scout is a horse," I would say, referring to the strip of white fur running down your nose. "Scout is a penguin," I would say, looking at your chest of white fur fringed with black. "Scout has long legs," I would declare, in blatant rejection of reality -- much like you had been a blatant rejection of the nihilism I had been living in.
Your excitement became my excitement. Simply going outside demanded jumping up and down, smiling, exclamations of near-hysterical joy -- "Oh my Dog, it's so exciting, let's go see the deer!". Dirty kitchen rags became prized objects; "Oh my Dog, is it a stinky towel?!" The dreariest, most tired afternoon could be transformed by your sparkling, inquisitive eyes asking me what happens next. Your antics and sheer joy of presence spurred a flurry of pet-names; I dubbed you a "Barkeologist" when you unearthed long-buried objects in the backyard, and retrieved a tobacco pipe dropped off the deck during a family gathering. I called black and white outfits "Scoutfits". Later in life, when you developed a skin condition, I said: "well, if Scout is covered in scabs, then she's Scabulous!"
Similarly, your love became my love. Through your displays of love towards me and others, I learned just how deeply we can love in this life. All dogs are beings of immense love, and I'd experienced this with my three prior dogs; but you displayed your love with fever pitches I'd never observed in a dog before. When your loved ones came home from being out, you'd greet them with eyes liquid with love as water, drawing them into your current, where you'd meticulously sniff and kiss every inch of them -- and sometimes even run back to greet them two or three more times after laying down, like a love-fueled boomerang. At home, your eyes constantly tracked us, inquiring as to what was happening, or would happen next. You knew when people had disease or injuries, and would lick the afflicted areas excessively while looking into their eyes with concern. Once, when one of your loved ones had just came back from a hospital stay, you uncharacteristically jumped up on their chair and doggedly licked their face for minutes straight, leaving them completely bewildered and in deep need of a wet paper towel.
In the weeks before I knew you were sick, I came across an epitaph from a dog's tomb in ancient Rome through a post online. “I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home with my own hands 15 years ago.” I cried about this at the time, knowing that one day I'd have to say goodbye to you, the best friend I'd ever had. I never expected it would be so soon.
I think a dog as precious as you should live forever. And I hope you will, my teenage nihilism be damned; I hope to the point of faith that you are living now, and for forever. That you're somewhere chasing deer and squirrels, somewhere without scary wind or fireworks, somewhere where kind beings give you belly rubs, somewhere where you always feel safe and loved. I hope you are running free, and simultaneously become woven into everything enough that you dip into my dreams, and appear in my life's scenes -- a butterfly landing on my feet, a cardinal in a tree, wildflowers blooming. And I hope most of all that when I die, you're the first one to greet me.
I love you, Scout. I don't know how I could ever thank you enough for all you've given me. I hope I gave you as much happiness in this life as you have given me. Belly rubs forever.
Your Sister,
Hanna
(Post Script:
Scout's original name was Lovey. She was then named Scout after Scout Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. I never knew if she was named Lovey randomly, because she had a heart-ish shaped marking on her nose, or because she was a particularly affectionate puppy -- but the latter would make sense. She was the truly most profoundly loving dog I have ever met in my life.)
