Backyard Canada Day fireworks could be heard and seen from all areas of the neighbourhood. Such a joy to photograph!
The Caves of Chicago are full of graffiti, signatures, and paintings. I am guessing this area was, like, the free time corner to do what you want.
expressing my self with scribbling LOL
Ya know I never scribbled on my moms walls- what kinda artist am I?
The ‘scribbles’ on scribbly gums are an icon of the Australian bush, but until recently very little was known about the cause of these distinctive scribbles. The scribbly gum moth larvae bore a meandering tunnel through the eucalypt tree’s bark at the level of the future cork cambium, first in long irregular loops and later in a more regular zigzag which is doubled up after a narrow turning loop.
When the cork cambium starts to produce cork to shed the outer bark it produces scar tissue in response to the feeding of the caterpillar, filling the doubled up part of the larval tunnel with highly nutritious, thin-walled cells. These replacement cells are ideal food for the caterpillar which moults into its final life stage with legs, turns around and eats its way back along the way it has come. It now grows rapidly to maturity and leaves the tree to spin a cocoon at its base, where it pupates.
Not long after the caterpillar leaves the tree, the bark cracks off and exposes the iconic scribbles beneath. (Source csiropedia.csiro.au/scribbly-gum-moths/)
Jasmine and I recently found a house together. This is my office, where I plan to write and illustrate for the next 18 months for my upcoming book with Heyday Books. After our visit to John Muir's historic house in Martinez - where we saw the incredible man's "Scribble Den," Jasmine and I have nicknamed this office as my own "Scribble Den." If my book is just 1/1000th of Muir's work, I'll call this a big success.,

Probably my most photographed tree, this Scribbly Gum (Eucalyptus haemastoma) is located in Manly Dam.
a way to use up all those broken crayons. ridiculously easy and fun to make. set oven to 200 degrees F, rub/spray oil, etc. in cups of muffin tin, then fill each hole in muffin tin with bits of broken crayons. bake for around 10-15 minutes, until they are pretty much all melted. remove from oven, let cool for at least an hour, or put in fridge to speed up cooling process. pop out, and scribble away!
i'm giving some of these to poppy's preschool classmates as part of a halloween gift baggie (they are having a party this week).
The Paris Olympics were on when we visited the lone establishment in Cooladdi, the FoxTrap Roadhouse. It's an amazing place inside but one special thing they do is allow those who drop by to record their visit and even thoughts on the walls and if you are good enough, the ceiling as well. Of course, we added ours! Bring your own ladder as well. The place sells all sorts of stuff including unusual souvenirs and is full of curiosities as well.
As an afterthought, note the map of Queensland on the wall. Cooladdi is about 18 inches right and directly in line with the "D" in Queensland. There you are, I always said I was a geographer!
Plus....these days as the old bones get older and stickier, I only ever feel there is half of me...this shot proves it (I just noticed)!
a fun game I play with the girls is to make a big scrible that contains an image and then let them color in. On these two we all colored togeather
My friend has an amazing collection of light painting toys! Had great fun for a couple hours playing with long exposure.

I blurred the surroundings somewhat; looked nicer to me that way....
A Scribbly Gum (Eucalyptus Haemastoma) showing its distinctive "scribbles", cracked and buckled from a hazard reduction burn, with shadows superimposed.
The eponymous Scribbly Gum Lookout has, err, a Scribbly Gum, this Scribbly Gum — subject of sign and speculation. Above it on the drier ridge are Callitris endlicheri, the black cypress pine, a conifer neither cypress nor pine and demonstrably not black.
There is a view. It's not great. In the foreground there's a surge tower for the sewerage treatment works, tracks cut through a cleared paddock below high tension power lines bisecting the midground, glimpses of a river, a few agricultural buildings and an horizon of rolling hills. It's all a bit messy really. Wait a while. It'll be worth it.

Jan. 21: a visit to Scribbled Hearts. Kind of looks like the start of a new journey, doesn't it?
Ever hear of the Celtic concept of "thin places?" It's a place where the boundary between heaven and earth is especially thin, where we can sense the divine.
There's also a description of it as a place where we are induced to see, or perhaps sense, a greater reality.
Food for thought.
