So one day we went downstairs and my shoes were missing from the shoe rack. The ryokan owner loaned me these to get to the shoe store a few blocks away. These were, oh, 4 sizes too small?
The folks at Backcountry Tiny Homes visited our school campus. I only had my flip-phone camera, and I didn't have a lot of time to compose photos in the small space, but here you go. The house is unfinished. You may visit www.backcountrytinyhomes.com/ to see some of their other work.
These oak pieces were originally cut as blanks for nalbinding needles. There are 4 or 5 more waiting for me in the shop, so these 4 got put together as a practice tiny loom. I used my nalbinding needle to weave the weft through..worked like a charm. I must say the screws don't hold too well and allow the loom to try to fold up.. but it was enough to let me know that I wanted to make the bigger one...
Tiny Scelionid wasp. This one was acting suspiciously near a spider egg sac on the underside of a rhododendron leaf
Vintage tiny camera. This cool little camera cost less than a dollar back in the sixties and actually took decent pictures using unperforated 16mm roll film. For small prints the quality was comparable to a Holga or Lomo.

Go for a ride on the back of the train cake - some of them look quite angry! I found them extremely amusing. I wanted animal crackers, but I couldn't find any in the shops. The kids like the teds though.
This is a cluster of male cones.
Male cones live only a few weeks. On each tiny scale of a male cone, a pollen sac develops, inside which pollen grains are formed. Each pollen grain is a protective container for a sperm cell.
When mature pollen is released, the male cones die and fall apart.
Pollen is carried by the wind, and some of the pollen grains land between the scales of female cones, resulting in fertilization.

Female cones are the big ones that everybody knows, those that live and grow for several years and used for the fireplace when dry.
