I'd done quite well in art classes at school though they wouldn't let me take the A level; I was told it was not an 'academic subject' (and therefore presumably wouldn't help me get into university). After graduating I returned to a town close to my old school and did life drawing classes held at the very same institution - which was odd: you don't expect to see a woman posing nude in the classroom in which your geography classes were held. At the end of that year I moved to London and, after an interval in which I concentrated on my new job, returned to art classes. This time I signed up to take the A level art exam, and passed it in 1985.
I took this shot a few days ago but never got around to uploading it because of school work:( Anyway here it is now, I have a ton of stuff to upload+ I will be going abroad soon enough so there is plenty still to come!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and a like never goes a miss on my facebook page!
Sometimes, it’s just best to leave everything else out and focus on the sky.

Genus/species: Python reticulatus (Pythonidae)
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Normally colored reticulated pythons have several pigments: melanin (blacks), and xanthins (yellows) amongst other more subtle colors. Lemondrop is a “lavender albino” which is the same thing as a “tyrosinase positive albino” (t-positive) which have the inability to complete the synthesis of melanin but can produce other melanin related pigments such as various shades of brown grey and red resulting the “lavender” color. A “normal albino” (t-negative) reticulated python is yellow and white with pink/red eyes. Melanin and other melanin pigments areas are pure white but non-melanin pigments are present giving alternate colors (xanthines produce yellows). To make matters more complicated different albino snakes may have mutations giving them additional color morphs.
Our albino American Alligator, (Claude) Alligator mississippiensis is a “normal albino” (t-negative) with no melanin or non-melanin pigments making him pure white. If you google “t-positive albino” or “tyrosinase positive albino” you can find a lot more information on this condition.
(Albino Appearance Ref. Nicole Chaney Biologist II, California Academy of Sciences for basic albino information)
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Myanmar and India, across Southeast Asia and on many of the islands of the Philippines and Indonesia.
Found on the ground, in caves or in trees and they have adapted to
living in towns and cities.

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Komon. Komon are informal kimono worn at home and about town. They are essentially the jeans and t-shirt combo of the kimono world. This kimono likely originates in the mid to late Showa Period (1926 - 1989), likely the 1970's. This piece has a very subtle woven pattern. The detail photos show the actual colour of this kimono best.
I have inspected this kimono in detail, and it has a few minor stains on the interior, but the exterior is clean. Overall, I would rate this kimono in good vintage condition. There are no tears or seam separations. This garment can be worn. I believe this garment is 100% silk. The exterior seems to be omeshi silk (a high quality ikat textile), while the lining is likely habbotai.
MEASUREMENTS:
151cm - Long (Collar to Hem)
124cm - Arm span
59cm - Width across the back
137cm - Total width of skirt
49cm - Sleeve drop
SIZING:
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 141cm (4'8") - 161cm (5'3") tall, with hips about 91cm (36") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

I was scrolling through my archives and stopped on this picture and converted it to B&W -- its a bit grainy and a bit off centre, but I liked the end result

This one was on the underside of an Oak leaf. Not as bold as many of the others but certainly beautiful. Will see if I can match it up. I love to find these harder to spot ones. :)
The scallops on both the roof panel and the hood match the stripe between the body tones. The thin black scallop stripes add a '60s flavor without being too gaudy. They follow all the factory body lines to enhance the car's shape.

I think part of the problem may be the changer, which is for the Pedersen hub.
I have altered it slightly to allow a fourth position - shown above - which seemed to allow all three gears in a stationary test, but not on the road.
Observe also the ingeniously-contrived barrel adjuster, using parts from a Sturmey-Archer changer, and the surprisingly effective method of attaching the control cable, which is passed through the hole where the indicator chain used to go, doubled back and whipped into a loop using wire.
Not sure why, but this abandoned baby's hand has suddenly taken on a stronger, metaphoric resonance in my mind. Lots can be assumed, at least by me. Societal messages abound . . .

We've laid the cables and the wires
We've split the wood and stoked
the fires
We've lit our town so there is no
Place for crime to hide
Our little church is painted white
And in the safety of the night
We all go quiet as a mouse
For the word is out
God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
No cause for worry now
God is in the house
Moral sneaks in the White House
Computer geeks in the school house
Drug freaks in the crack house
We don't have that stuff here
We have a tiny little Force
But we need them of course
For the kittens in the trees
And at night we are on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
For God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
And no one's left in doubt
God is in the house
Homos roaming the streets in packs
Queer bashers with tyre-jacks
Lesbian counter-attacks
That stuff is for the big cities
Our town is very pretty
We have a pretty little square
We have a woman for a mayor
Our policy is firm but fair
Now that God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
Any day now He'll come out
God is in the house
Well-meaning little therapists
Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists
The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed
We got no time for that stuff here
Zero crime and no fear
We've bred all our kittens white
So you can see them in the night
And at night we're on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
Since the word got out
From the North down to the South
For no-one's left in doubt
There's no fear about
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout
Hallelujah
God is in the house
God is in the house
Oh I wish He would come out
God is in the house

My birthday's coming up in August, and I really love the "bunny lovers' carrot cake" from Pattycake Vegan Bakery. Subtle hint?
A beautiful, subtle January sunset sky this evening over the city. Certainly, we've been getting gorgeous sunsets here as of late! Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. (Wednesday early evening, January 19, 2022; 5:32 p.m.)
