Nev's extended family are back in our garden. No doubt scouting around for the best nesting spots for the coming season.
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.

Scout was a gorgeous young-looking fox that visited our property a few times this winter, but has not been seen for a couple of months. Why is it that a welcome visitor like Scout, who had hunting success here, only visits a limited number of times whereas pests are so often very difficult to drive off?
The Indian Scout is a motorcycle built by the Indian Motocycle Company from 1920 to 1949. It rivaled the Chief as Indian's most important model. [...]. Wikipedia

Blue Hour in Kansas City just before 9pm the other night. One of the most popular places to take in the views of the downtown area of the city and for good reason.

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.

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.

One from the archives from seven years ago.
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!

It's an upload!
Yes, I am back! Here is my latest figure - inspired by a movie from when I was younger - 'Shooter'. I am really happy with the way this figure turned out - let me know what you think!
Dad!! You forgot! Yes Scout it's been a very busy week with work and I didn't have anytime for a photo. I know we normally do our photos on Sunday but there is a dog that needs to be adopted that needed some new photos soooo yes I forgot your weekly picture.
Have a great week everyone!
A few pics from a couple of years ago when we had some very late snow on the hills. This was April and a very strange combination of chilly snow and warm spring sunshine.
We had some really great weather yesterday so we decided to take Scout to a near by park for some one on one time. She likes it when it is just her with dad and mom. Have a great week everyone!

Thought I'd better take a trip to Kinder Scout's Northern edge before the sun moves too far round to to get evening light.
Got a soaking on the way up but it was worth it. Kinder was in cloud on the way up, but it the end it cleared just a little too much. But at least the uninterrupted light gave me a chance to try a few compositions.

I no longer have my original Cub Scout uniform that included Wolf, Bear, Lion merit badges and arrows, but I have retained my nickel silver bracelet given to me by my Dad.
Many good memories achieving the different ranking levels of Webelos and eventually joining the Boy Scouts (BSA).
