New sim, Jade! Strictly for RPing! I'm rather fond of her actually, but I promised myself no more contests for while. xD
Haha, and don't mind the body shot. She's a bit silly.
Leaving a hole in the middle to run wires if I decide to use this as a lamp for an electric lightbulb.
A bitter and uncharacteristic cold snap killed the two snail vines that covered the lattice on the western end of our patio in the late winter of 2007. I was sad to see it go, as its leaves were critical to blocking the torturous midsummer sun's rays from the patio. I took this as a chance to replace the questionable original lattice work as well as to recondition the bed the vines occupied in the spring.
The previous lattice had simply been set down on the patio and then nailed to a two by four that was screwed to the end joist of the patio roof and screwed with an entirely too small masonry anchor to the wall of the house (!), an arrangement that I found unaesthetic and proved terribly flimsy in any storm. I sat the replacement lattice (redwood, not cheap) on brick pads and attached them to steel anchors driven into the flowerbed then put braces at the top to grip the roof joist tightly without needing to drive screws into a structural member. It has thus far proven quite secure, and I no longer worry that something will blow away when the wind picks up.
I then reconditioned the bed as detailed here :

with an eye towards maintenance and water conservation. I even took some flagstone the original landscapers had left behind and added the small walk at the lower left corner. This bed, which goes on well below the frame, has for the past year remained weed free, and the snail vines I put in last year had in only four months covered the entire lattice. Snail vines apparently love very hot conditions. The tea rose bush at the corner of the patio was originally in the bed and requires constant pruning through the warmer months, it even needed a prune when this photo was taken.
Engine of the brick workshop, a pain to get the correct strobe power.

Looks like they're finally going ahead with construction of the new apartment building at the corner of Richmond Rd. & Woodroffe Ave.
I had been thinking of finding another apartment elswhere, but I just got laid off, so I guess I'll be suffering through ongoing construction next door soon.
I’ve had my eye on a particular culm of bamboo - amidst the numerous which have sprung up accidentally at the back of our place. I harvested it today, and will be embarking on what may be a very long process of trying to make a shakuhachi.
This is after using the kitchen stove for an initial drawing-out of moisture; it’s quite a bit paler already.
A quick capture through the window, this is at 300m, so not very sharp, but I liked the colours.......these are part of the woodland trees surrounding Castle Coch. I hope to get some better photos of the autumn trees this week.
Today has a very autumnal feel to it, rain, wind and getting quite chilly.....
I really like the energy at the start. The tension is heightened when the gun sounds. For a split second, all of the racers are tied and then they are gone.

Lafayette College kicked off its multi-year START Project with a festival featuring student artwork, presentations of arts-based research projects, and performances by student and faculty ensembles in Anderson Courtyard. Funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the initiative will further integrate the performing and visual arts throughout the College’s curriculum.
