The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) is a large saturniid moth found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, and common across the Malay archipelago.

Atlas moths are considered the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area [upwards of c. 400 cm2 (62 sq in)]. Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, reaching over 25 cm (10 in). Females are appreciably larger and heavier.

Atlas moths are said to be named after either the Titan of Greek mythology, or their map-like wing patterns. In Hong Kong the Cantonese name translates as "snake's head moth", referring to apical extension of the forewing, which bears a passing resemblance to a snake's head.

On the same day of clearing weather, I decide to poison? the geese at the ponds so I bought a 99 cent loaf of sponge bread that is still unfinished and soft. I'll check again after a while. The Canada Geese will come a' paddling for what they consider a treat. I originally thought this would be filed in the wildlife category but it ended up a water works selection. As it happens there are days that require ripples or a chop to provide showy action. Reflections always saturate the textures from a bold sky.

I made another loop of the path looking for the geese because we had a break in the weather and I could not possibly pass these conditions by. The sky reflection was so blank but would render as bold with the activity of the geese. I needed a lot more exercise because I have spent too much time at the computer. I see too many scenes ruined by blank skies but I chose to avoid that.

I am out here at Golden Ponds, the Longmont, Boulder County greenbelt and rec area and fortunately, the turn-off is only a half-dozen blocks down Hover St. I wanted to look for possible locations. I wandered the green space and took some detail shots that were available, The winter foliage remains around the ponds and under the water.

Abandoned 11th Concession bridge by Lone Primate

Panorama of the view from the surface of the south abutment, looking across the river. The surface was chest-height, and as I wasn't sure how structurally sound it was, I declined to actually climb up on it. Besides, it was full of splintered wood and rusty nails.

Surfaces Experiments by Abigail Rebecca Laven

GCSE – Surfaces (set topic). My initial experiments focused on looking at patterns that are produced from rubbings of textured surfaces. I researched the artist Max Ernst who developed the technique of frottage. I took charcoal rubbings from objects such as tyres, gratings and man-hole covers. Later, I decided to explore how surfaces change with burning having been inspired by the ‘messy’ artwork of Anselm Kieffer. In particular, I liked how plastic shrank and twisted into fascinating shapes. This effect is used by artist Alberto Burri, however in my opinion his pieces seem rather boring in terms of colour and composition. I continued my own experimental work by incorporating acrylic and wire mesh into melted plastic. Although both gave interesting results, I especially liked the way wire allowed the plastic to cling to it and therefore chose to develop this idea. I created a collage on canvas by melting different coloured plastics onto chicken wire. I painted the canvas in Kiefer’s style and experimented with the composition by burning holes into it as well as incorporating a variety of plastic objects in the mesh structure. The overall effect was a little too ‘busy’ so I opted to use an open wooden frame for my larger final piece.
