Also entitled "the most disgusting photo on Flickr". He's like an ugly monster from "Tremors" erupting out of the the symbol of freedom carrying a torch to burn the Ten Commandments, the Constitution, the American Flag and the Bill of Rights.
Nancy Bush’s pattern for Gentleman’s Sock in Railway Stitch from Knitting Vintage Socks: New Twists on Classic Patterns. Knit with Hazel Knits Artisan Sock yarn in “Chocolatier” colorway on number 1 double points.
I decided not to use contrasting colors for the heel and toes. Didn’t want to waste a single inch of the Chocolatier. The color is rich and subtle striped – a dream to knit. (I have another skein in the stash that I plan to cast on soon.)
Nancy Bush’s patterns are always reliable. Well written and well fitted. I didn’t do the seam or calf decrease. The calf shaping is usually too fiddly for me.
Watching a subtle, penumbral lunar eclipse early this morning. The eclipse was very subtle that you have to look hard to see the light shading...
After a stunning solar eclipse earlier this month, the earth was to get round two with a penumbral lunar eclipse on Wednesday morning. Starting at around 2:39 a.m. PDT, the eclipse was to be visible to the central and western United States, Australia, Asia and the Pacific. But for the U.S., the eclipse would be most distinct when most are fast asleep at 4:47 a.m. PDT (this is also during the eclipse's maximum), while folks in the East Coast would miss it entirely due to the sunrise. For the most part, the eclipse would cause the moon to be only slightly darker. However, during the same time of the eclipse, Jupiter would also be very bright and was to join the moon for a picturesque celestial view.
What's a penumbral eclipse? The penumbral eclipse is when the moon moves through the outer shadow of Earth, so it's less pronounced than an umbral eclipse, or when the moon turns dark red because it's going through the dark part of Earth's shadow. Penumbral eclipses are 35% of all eclipses, but are still difficult to see with even a telescope. You have to look closely to grasp the very subtle shading of the eclipse (From my perspective in this case, the shading was occurring at the bottom area of the lunar face). The next penumbral lunar eclipse was to occur in September this year, but North America won't even notice...

The angle of the flash was upward facing the celing at an
angle and created a softer look to this picture - I love the way the 3 turned out - such a perfect valentines day image
OFF FLICKR FOR A WHILE:
The droplet in the shade of the iris to the right of the beard drove me crazy trying to get a photo of it that defines it. :) May need to click on photo to see it better. Not sure if I will keep this one. Spent a very short time in our lilacs when the sun came out briefly after a rain. Storms returned shortly after. Sorry for so many photos of the same thing. All handheld in a breeze so not the sharpest. Will be off Flickr for about a week and a half. Thanks in advance for any comments or faves since I will likely not respond even when back due to busy schedule, my apologies. :)
A pretty little ebony jewelwing lady. Not as vividly coloured as the bright, metallic blue-green male, but still a respectable bronze-green. You just have to look a little closer to see how pretty she is. You can ID females of damsels in the genus Calopteryx because they have white spots on the ends of their wings.

I'm still not sure what kind of rock this is; the BGS say the area is `neoproterozoic psammite and pelite' from the Glenfinnan Group, partially metamorphosed sedimentary rocks which I take to back-up my earlier guesses of limestone, schist and gneiss. Obviously most of the colouration is moss/lichen, but a fair amount of the stone texture shows through.

It looks like one of those busy busy comedy jigsaws where you notice something different each time you look at it..
Flycam with my SpaceNavigator is a lotta fun.
