Feeling tonnes better today.... I think the change in weather has helped. Mister sunshine had his hat on. Was lovely to walk home from the Metro with no jacket on.
Decisions, decisions...... sometimes you struggle to get one photo you like then other days you can't choose. This was one of those days. ODC's challenge was Stack/Pile, surprisingly I opted for Lego, AGAIN. However, I did have a couple of other photos that I liked one of some playing cards stacked up in a pyramid, and the other a tower of apples.
Evan's favorite thing to do in the pool this time was to stack these buckets with water in between and then push down.
Silverton now inherits the fakery the D&RGW thought the unwashed tourists of the 50s through 70s would think was real on the old west steam engines. Much to Charlie Bradshaw's credit, these offending stacks came off the locomotives almost immediately after he took possession of the railroad in 1981. But they live on.
Today I gave out a bunch of the photos that I printed off last week. When I gave a stack to Marleni, she pulled out a photo album to stick them in, and we went through all of the old photos. She and her husband and Josué used to live in the room that I live in now, before her uncle moved to San Salvador. The sink that Josué is sitting in is the same sink I wash my clothes in, though it was moved to a new location last year. Marleni said they always used to wash him there, and he would always cry because the water was too cold. After a while, they started using warm water, but apparently just the memory of being cold made him cry each time anyways.
Tylopelta gibbera, a wee, brown, spec-like, treehopper. This species runs from Central America north where it quietly sips sap from the tick-trefoil plant group. These specimens came from the Sarah Kocher lab at Princeton, where they were imprisoned in small net cages in greenhouses while Sarah and her white-coated lab staff use lasers to listen in on treehopper sex talk; where competing males shout to females by drumming on the plants making tiny vibes that, if played correctly, are aphrodesial to any female in the area. They are using the treehopper's molecules to deconstruct why, where, and how these sexy vibrations vary across the landscape. Who knew. Both 10x and 5x shots involved.

The London Heathrow Epsom 'stack'. Three twin-jets follow the descending spiral route over Surrey prior to joining the approach to London Heathrow.
Many, many Long Pie Pumpkins this year. They look like overgrown zucchini, but you know when they're ready to pick by the orange spot on the bottom.
They'll cure here on the porch for a few weeks, then I'll haul them upstairs to a cool room, where they'll keep almost all winter.
Long Pie makes a fine pumpkin pie, and the seeds are pretty tasty, too.

sorry
i made lots
i got up at 5.30am whilst on holiday one day to go to the cove and stack. The peace and tranquility was immense.
i built a set of 18 stacks in perfect alignment across the cove. unfortunately 18 sacks in a single line don't photograph well. they looked bloody brilliant though. as you walked in and out of the alignment you either saw one or a mass of stacks.
inspired by the master bebalance www.flickr.com/photos/rocker/sets/72157602341391436/ i tried counterbalancing stones. it made for more delicately balanced stacks.
i am going to upload the rest of the photos later. there are far too many but feel i have to put them all up.
The South Stack Lighthouse has warned passing ships of the treacherous rocks below since its completion in 1809. The 28 m (91 ft) lighthouse was designed by Daniel Alexander and the main light is visible to passing vessels for 28 miles, and was designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin - Holyhead - Liverpool sea route. It provides the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesey for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead breakwater, The Skerries, the Mice and at the north-east tip of the island Trwyn-Du. The lighthouse is operated remotely by Trinity House.[1] It has been visited by the team at Most Haunted.
Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and tour the engine room and exhibition area. The lighthouse is open seasonally.

December 27, 2012 - These are, hands down, my favourite cookies in the world. They are Molasses Sugar Cookies, and I only ever make them at Christmas. The recipe came to Vancouver with me when I left home, my Mom made them every year at Christmas and they have the most heavenly, warm, heady, Christmas spiciness. Cloves, cinnamon, ginger, molasses…everything that screams winter cookie.
A crew from Dogsthorpe was called to a stack fire at a farm in Middle Road, Newborough.
Approximately 10 tonnes of baled straw was well alight and had spread to wooden pallets and trees.
Firefighters used hose reels and jets to contain and control the fire and a farmer with a teleporter assisted by removing wooden pallets.
At 9am the incident was handed back to the farmer and fire crews will return to inspect the stack.
The crew returned to station by 9.15am.
The cause of the fire was deliberate.
South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.

South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
