Early morning around 4am. Just me and the mosquitoes, despite my bottle of OFF spray. They persisted.
A Httyd-themed Lego diorama featuring the Scauldron, a water-dragon that spits out boiling liquid.
A group of dragon trappers have caught an infant Scauldron, who cunningly decide to use it as bait to lure out it's mother. It worked, though not without having with drastic consequences towards for both the trappers and the enraged mother Scauldron.

Before anyone says it, yes, I'm a sad sadistic person for making such a traumatizing scene.
I wanted to make dragon trappers (like those seen from Httyd 2) in action, and got carried away and threw in a baby dragon at the last minute...
Anyway, I'll add more pics of the dragon and the infant later.

Tourist traps are irresistible
I don’t mind playing the tourist. If I am one, why not visit the typical destinations?
I haven’t visited Anchorage since the mid-80s. I’m looking forward to seeing how it has changed. Well, let’s be honest, my memories from 30 years ago are a little fuzzy. I do remember how much my sisters and I enjoyed visiting the tourist shops. I, especially, longed for the chunks of iron pyrite (fool’s gold) on display. I no longer feel the attraction for minerals, but I do love the tourist experience.

Trappers Peak in the Bitterroot Valley, Montana. Trapper Peak, at 10,157’ the highest of the Bitterroot Mountains, is 11.7 miles (as the crow flies) south-southwest of Darby, Montana. The highest point on the massive east-west ridge between Trapper Creek to the north and Boulder Creek to the south, this summit is probably the most well-known mountain in the Bitterroot Mountains, if for no other reason, simply because it has the highest summit. Trapper and the other highpoints on this immense ridge dominate the western horizon from the small town of Darby, Montana, to Connor, an even smaller burg several miles to the south.
I may have discovered a new part-time retirement job. Last summer we were plagued by a woodchuck (groundhog) that moved in under our three-season porch. I combatted his presence by bricking up his hole (he made two more on the other sides of the porch), using a boomerang, trying to catch and release him, then finally buying and using a high-powered BB pistol.Nothing worked and he stayed into the Fall, suddenly disappearing. I filled in the holes in relief. Not only do woodchucks graze on your plants, their deep holes can damage the foundation of your house.
Two weeks ago he reappeared, perhaps after hibernating under the porch all winter. I went out and bought a new catch and release trap and baited it with apples and small animal food from a pet store. Saturday afternoon, I went out to ready the charcoal for our first grilling of the season. To my surprise, Woody was trapped!!! Before starting grilling I took Woody for a six mile car ride and released him at the edge of an unfenced nature conservatory. Much better than preparing him for the grill, although there are some interesting woodchuck cooking options on-line..
I'll refrain from using the honorific "Trapper" Kerry, but will keep my part-time job skills open for further use.

My sister's dog, Trapper waits for obedience trials. He received his Schutzhund 2 Title.
Schutzhund (German for protection dog) is a dog sport that was developed in Germany in the early 1900s as a breed suitability test for the German Shepherd Dog. The test would determine if the dog displayed the appropriate traits and characteristics of a proper working German Shepherd Dog. Today, it is used as a sport where many breeds other than German Shepherd Dogs can compete, but it is a demanding test for any dog and few are able to pass successfully.

Modeste Eddibar, a trapper from Colville Lake, NWT, cleans a wolf pelt outside of his home. Trapping is done in the NWT as a source of food and income in places where there is no other economy and living costs are extremely high. Last night, I attended the screening of a new docu-reality series called Fur Harvesters NWT which is showing on WildTV. It follows Hay River trapper, Andrew Stanley, through an entire trapping season and you quickly learn how much work and respect goes into trapping animals just to put some food on the table and scrape together a few bucks. It's an extremely tough life. The show, created and produced by my friends at Artless Collective, can be seen on WildTV or on Vimeo On Demand.

I have to "thank" my Flikr friend Calum for this strange contraption being in my collection ;-p
He drew my attention to it and also told me it pairs very well towing wise with the Corgi Land-Rover Discovery, it certainly needs to as it looks a bit lost on its own. This Matchbox Speed Trapper is certainly one way of making an original casting which involves no licensing costs and when I take off my miserable old git head i'm sure I can appreciate it for the fun little item it is. There really isn't too much to this model casting wise, its a simple device attached to a trailer with a rotating rear thingamabob though i'm sure some collectors will appreciate its detailed rear end and use of chrome disc wheels :-)

Small creek flowing into Trapper Lake at base of Mt. Moran. I have not been able to determine the name of this stream, but from the USGS topographical map it looks to flow from a Skilltet Glacier on Mt. Moran.

This is Trapper John (TJ). He was found in an illegal trap that had bitten into his rear leg. When TJ came to us last week, his leg was 3 times its normal size. What kind of person (if that what you can can it) would do something like this to any animal. It is beyond my comprehension. TJ is also Felv+ so he'll live the rest of his days with us at the shelter, www.helenkrause.org. He is a sweet lion boy who is so very brave.
