Mine arrived yesterday and I must say that I am very happy with her.
Her hair is very stiff (like concrete! ;) but the style is very nice and the gel used is good- you cannot see marks from a hair net, it does not flock and there is none of it on her face.
While some fellow collectors find the fashion and especially the shoes and jewelry in combination with the fluffy dress too edgy, I must say I love it. I mean, hey, who really wants another Sunday dress with flower print for their dolls?? One of the reasons why I nevr got a Tonner doll is that their ensembles are mostly way too conservative for me.
How sad. Tesco have put out the first of their Christmas items: it is the first week of September, nearly four months beforehand.
I feel like this formation should have name, like "Gunsight Rock," but maybe I'm just too American ;)
My desk at work. I spend a lot of time here, so it must be a favourite sight. On the right monitor, you can see our latest software product in action, used for calculating the energy use in buildings and predicting the indoor comfort.
ODT - Theme (01-05-2012): A favourite sight
I had a brief interval of light after work to try and capture the coffee blossom. The blossoms are relatively short-lived, but I am hoping for some better shots this afternoon (and better light).
This is called "Kona Snow" in our area because the blossoms occur on the top of the branches along the branch. It's a beautiful sight against the dark green leaves, and the delicate gardenia scent is heady.
The somewhat elusive St John the Baptist's church in Baginton is at first sight a deceptively simple building, the view on approach from the south-east being that of a modest two-cell structure of nave and chancel with a miniature (and rustically charming) tower and spire perched between the two. Moving around to the opposite side however reveals this building has undergone some extension with no less than two north aisles. Much of the present building is still in essence the original Norman one, albeit with alterations and additions mostly of the 14th century. Everything is built in warm red sandstone, as is the norm in the central and northern parts of Old Warwickshire.
The interior is rather different, both in terms of mostly whitened walls taking the place of the sandstone (and adding considerable lightness to what might otherwise have been a gloomy space) and being quite unlike any other ancient church in the county. From the west end the eye is drawn not to the usual single chancel arch but three of them (technically six as the openings into the chancel beyond are set much lower). The configuration is necessitated by the two central piers being required to support the tiny box-like tower above, while the alcoves on either side may have once contained altars and retain significant patches of ancient wall painting (mainly floral decoration). It is difficult to get much sense of the small chancel beyond until passing through the arches, from where it is revealed as an intimate space full of interest.
The most noteworthy features of the church are to be found adorning the walls of the chancel, with several imposing wall tablets and a very fine early 15th century brass commemorating Sir William Bagot & his wife who once lived in the nearby castle (of which little now remains). There are further patches of wall painting in other parts of the church and the nave retains most of its 18th century furnishings. The Victorian restoration here appears to have had very little impact aside from the Hardman glass in the east window.
Baginton is not the easiest of places to find, being squeezed between the outskirts of Coventry and its airport which adjoins the village. Despite being fairly local to where I grew up this church also eluded me until very recently, being normally kept locked and only open by appointment (my only prior visit ended in disappointment and the wording of the sign discouraged asking for the key without prior arrangement). Being part of a group visit finally gave me the access I wanted, but alas time was limited and the church was swiftly locked up again as we left. It's a shame they don't feel they can open it more often as it is a very rewarding building that deserves more visitors and wider appreciation.
This Seal Swim band hangs around a child's neck and connects wirelessly with a guard band worn by a parent or lifeguard. When the band is submerged for a certain period of time, it sounds an alarm on the guardian's band and its own charging station.
For the past few years we've taken a couples trip with some good friends. This year we wanted to go to Thailand for three weeks but one of the other couple had her heart set on Tokyo. It wasn't high on our list but we decided to go along. Good choice.
We were all groggy and loopy from a long 13 hour flight and 15 hour time zone change when we arrived in Tokyo. We spent the first day just wandering around Shinjuku and Harajuku, getting lost on several occasions, but just getting our bearings. For a big city I was amazed how clean it was. The main downside was that the weather sucked - it was very cold and windy with skies the color of death. Not the best for photography.
I took these photos in April 2019 in Tokyo, Japan.
Luang Prabang, Laos, May, 2004 - Here are some monks just after sunrise silently going through the town collecting gifts of food from the residents. It will be their only food for the day. I cannot look at these photos without recalling the smell of sandalwood which was used for very small fires in little sidewalk hibachi stoves for cooking in the morning.

This was never a common sight in my time living in Kansas City, but these days, it is extremely rare, especially with favorable light. But the Railroad Gods looked out for me on this day. Luckily, this was a Saturday morning with no traffic around on the Woodsweather Bridge. I was able to stop, get out and get a few shots of this stopped KCS grain (100 cars). KCS SD70ACe #4199 leds with KCSM Grey Ghost CW44AC #4574 trailing.

I've been thinking about sight and blindness. I can't imagine what it must be like not to see, and I admire all the blind people that overcome all the obstacles to fulfill their dreams. They are beautiful.

Okay, so he found them. But what now? I mean he still has to find a way to get one of them out into rush hour traffic and they don't appear to be going anywhere...
