Finally a group shot of my big ones!
There's just not enough room for such shots. But at least I have 2 daylight lamps and umbrellas now so I can shoot whenever I like (if I manage to position them in that tight space somehow).
My poor boys only have one whole outfit each. I don't even like Ki's much yet. But it's so hard to find boy stuff that isn't too modern looking and fits with what I have in mind for them. Well, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg that is... *sigh*
And I think I need a new wig for Ki. The bangs came out to short in the end.
Btw: I love when dollies hold hands. SO cute! x3

Or so it seems. I watched a pair of BC Nigh Herons perched in one of the trees on the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary grounds - he kept offering the stick to the female, who kept turning her back on him. I think she wanted a better stick, perhaps. There are probably 20 pairs of wild BCNH nesting on the sanctuary grounds right now.
A friend has a collection of these pieces of jewelry. I had not heard of them but often they contained pictures of the loved ones and a symbol of their branch of the armed services. Interesting!

This is a custom-built modular system devised to elevate now under-height platforms to train door level and is ramped to facilitate access for the disabled.

"kuinka paljoa enemmän on Kristuksen veri, hänen, joka iankaikkisen Hengen kautta uhrasi itsensä viattomana Jumalalle, puhdistava meidän omantuntomme kuolleista teoista palvelemaan elävää Jumalaa!"

An opportunity was almost missed on Wednesday due to a non updated T.O.P.S list.
At 7.30am 37401 & 37409 were showing "Under Genius Control" as they were the previous day.
I was at my father-in-law's during the morning and there's no mobile phone reception at his gaff and so it wasn't until lunchtime that I discovered, through gen' sites, that 37402 had replaced 409 on the first southbound out of Carlisle that morning.
This meant that for the first time since inception both Cumbrian coast loco-hauled diagrams were sporting a large logo Tractor.
A plan was immediately formulated to attempt a shot of the two passing at St. Bees.
The 14.37 BIF - CAR was first to arrive and here the driver of its loco, 37402, is seen handing the token for the Sellafield single line section to the St. Bees signalwoman.
