Adult males of P. regius average 12 mm in length (range 6 to18 mm). Males are always black with alternating black and white fringes on the first pair of legs; on the dorsum of the abdomen are a white basal band, a central triangular white spot, and a pair of oval white spots posteriorly. The paired chelicerae are enlarged and iridescent (green-blue- violet); each has a subdistal tubercle on its anterior face. The first legs of larger males are disproportionately longer than smaller males, a type of allometry. Adult females average 15 mm in length (range 7 to 22 mm). Females may have the same colour pattern as males, but usually females have the black dorsal areas of the body covered with colored scales. These scales may be gray, tan, brown, orange, or combinations of any or all of the above colours. Those females that are completely covered with orange scales are particularly attractive. Most of the more colourful females are found in the southern two-thirds of Florida and in the Greater Antilles. Cheliceral colour is iridescent (either green or red- violet), but less noticeable than in males because the chelicerae are usually covered by the palpi, small leg-like appendages which are densely covered with long white setae. The cheliceral tubercles are absent. Leg-fringes are present, but not as distinct as in males. Females also have four tufts of setae in the region of the dorsal eyes; males lack these tufts. Phidippus regius is found in most field and open woodland habitats, but not within mature hardwood forest. Smaller immatures usually are found in the herbaceous zone, but subadults and particularly adults favor palms and palmettoes in semiarid habitats. Where palms are absent, shrubs and trees are inhabited by the older stages. Adults seem to prefer substrates with relatively monoplanar surfaces and are frequently found on walls of buildings. As with all jumping spiders, P. regius uses its excellent vision to locate prey and potential mates.
Some creatives. Here is a blended banded sasso dodge mask, limited by the sky and two linear gradients in lower corners, giving the triangular highlight emphasis in the center frame. Looking for dimensionality, to turn the lights on, and to add a vignette.

Round corners with its three towers. I don't know what Oxygenol is, but apparently the company is gone. There is an Italian company using that name but hasn't been around that long.
A bizarre erection of catholic supporter.
The Triangular Lodge is a folly, designed and constructed between 1593 and 1597 by Sir Thomas Tresham near Rushton, Northamptonshire, England. It is now in the care of English Heritage. The stone used for the construction was alternating bands of dark and light limestone.
Tresham was a Roman Catholic and was imprisoned for a total of fifteen years in the late 16th century for refusing to become a Protestant. On his release in 1593, he designed the Lodge as a protestation of his faith. His belief in the Holy Trinity is represented everywhere in the Lodge by the number three: it has three walls 33 feet long, each with three triangular windows and surmounted by three gargoyles. The building has three floors, upon a basement, and a triangular chimney. Three Latin texts, each 33 letters long, run around the building on each facade. The quotations are:
Aperiatur terra & germinet Salvatorem [1] : "Let the earth open and … bring forth salvation" (Isaiah 45:8)
Quis separabit nos a charitate Christi? [2] : "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" (Romans 8:35)
Consideravi opera tua, Domine, et expavi : "I have contemplated thy works, O Lord, and was afraid" (a paraphrase of Habakkuk 3:2 [3])
The windows on each floor are of a different designs, all equally ornate. The largest, those on the first floor, are in the form of a trefoil, which was the emblem of the Tresham family. The basement windows are small trefoils with a triangular pane at their centre. The windows on the ground floor are of a lozenge design, each having 12 small circular openings surrounding a central cruciform slit. Heraldic shields of various families surround these windows.
The slightly raised ground floor has an entrance in the south-east facade. Over the door, beneath Tresham's coat of arms, is the Latin inscription: Tres testimonium dant , meaning "The number three bears witness" or "Tresham bears witness" (Tres was the pet name his wife used for Tresham in her letters). Also above the door are the numbers "5555". The figures are oddly shaped, and architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner speculated that this may once have read "3333", but that number seems to have no particular significance. It has, however, been pointed out [4] that if 1593 is subtracted from 5555, it leaves 3958 (the date, BC, of the Flood, according to Bede)...wikipaedia

Flor del cuclillo
Oiartzun
CARYOPHYLACEAE
La flor del cuclillo o del cuco pertenece a la familia de las cariofiláceas. Es una especie herbácea vivaz, con tallos delgados que crecen erguidos y pueden alcanzar una altura de hasta 70 cm. Las hojas inferiores, dispuestas en una roseta basal, son lanceoladas y agudas, de hasta 12 cm de longitud y 1,5 cm de anchura. Las de los tallos son más pequeñas, y llegan a estar unidas entre sí en la inserción con el tallo. Las flores están agrupadas en número de 5 a 8 en ramilletes terminales y con largos pedúnculos. El cáliz tiene forma de campana y está recorrido por 10 nervios, terminados en dientes de forma triangular. Los pétalos, de un bello color rosa, están divididos en cuatro segmentos profundos y desiguales, dando a la flor la apariencia de estar rota.
Se distribuye por prácticamente toda Europa. En la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco es una especie común en la vertiente cantábrica, pero muy rara al sur de la divisoria de aguas.
Hierba con tallos de 20-70(90) cm, delgados, frecuentemente ramosos, glabrescentes o pubescentes, escábridos en la base. Hojas de la roseta basal 30-120 × 5-15 mm, oblongo-espatuladas, subagudas, ligeramente escábridas y ciliadas en la base; las caulinares, 3-5 pares, de 20-70 × 3-6 mm, linear-lanceoladas, agudas, connadas, estrechadas y ciliadas en la base. Cimas de (2)5-8(16) flores; pedicelos 8-20(32) mm. Tubo del cáliz 6-10 × 3-5 mm, oblongo-cilíndrico o elipsoidal; dientes 1,5-2 × 1,5-1,7 mm, triangulares, agudos. Pétalos 16-20(25) × 1,5-3 mm,
rosados, rara vez blancos, profundamente divididos en 4 lacinias desiguales, con 2 lígulas desigualmente bífidas. Cápsula 6-10 × 3-7 mm, ovoideo-globosa; carpóforo muy corto o nulo. Semillas tuberculadas, negra
Trying to figure out as many possible ways to tessellate each waterbomb molecule. Recent conversations with Beth Johnson's have encouraged me to resume my waterbomb studies of way back when, and this is a set of CP's that I'm doing for the write-up. I've stumbled across some interesting assortments that I hadn't encountered before, which I am excited about.

Talk about making an entrance. Over a decade on from the Renault Avantime making its debut, it still looks like a concept car that could so easily be unveiled in 2015. The Avantime is Le Quement's edgiest design. It is a two-door sportminivan with sliding glass roof whose shape is assembled from triangles: a triangular finned area above the headlights, a triangular back end, even triangular tail and side marker lights. Nothing about the Avantine is on the square. “Modern and daring," Renault's literature described it.
COUPESPACE
Renault Paris first presented at 1999 Geneva Motor Show its idea for a uniquely French "Coupéspace" and the styling of the Avantime was the height of modern design. Remember, this is the same country that brought us the 'Citroën SM'.
MATRA
The minivan involved was the Espace III, Europe's original multipurpose vehicle, which is made for Renault by Matra Automobile. The Avantime is front-wheel drive and shares most of its parts with the Espace. As three-door cars go, it is spacious. Its doors are astonishingly long (and have to be double-hinged to allow entry and exit in confined spaces), and the pillarless sides, frameless windows, and huge glass sunroof give it an unusually light and airy feel.
CURIOUS
I'm interested in the Avantime. I'm curious about it! Perhaps I am one of those odd customers Renault was hoping to target, right? So let's find out if there's anything of value here.
EXTRAORDINARY
The Renault Avantime is an extraordinary car: no doubt about that. Renault was rather unhappy its excellent and very stylish Avantime of 2001 was badly received. Thierry Metroz, Matra design project manager, said, "We wanted someone walking around the car to be continually astonished. Avantime plays on opposites, between the animal, almost feline front end and the stronger, squat and propulsive rear."
IMPRESSIVE
Can something this shape and this tall be even slightly sporting and satisfying to drive? Surprisingly, it can. This is an impressive achievement and makes the Avantime fun for the driver and calm and secure for the passengers. Matra's engineers have avoided the top-heaviness of a minivan by fitting a lightweight aluminum superstructure to the Espace chassis. The track has been widened, the suspension lowered, and the wheels and brakes enlarged.
DIFFERENT
Whatever your view, in an increasingly uniform world, I give Renault credit for daring to be different. I'd rather see someone take a chance with something radical, instead of offering yet another boring design.
FORWARD-THINKING
What exactly the Avantime is supposed to be? What is its purpose? Who's going to buy it? Its name actually lends us a clue. "Avant" is the French word for "ahead", and Avant is followed by "time". The English word "time" is self-explanatory. Renault (and original Avantime designer Matra) thought they had a futuristic product, basically. One that in press-releases "forward-thinking, maverick types who go against the grain" (my words) would buy.
TODAY
Today the avant garde style of the Avantime (2001-2003) associates perfect with my minimalist House (photo). As you can see, my 2002 Avantime still looks striking, modern and uncluttered yet with a marked character of its own. If you compare the 2001 Avantime and the new 2015 Espace V you can see echoes of the former in the latter: the window line, proportions and stance. Personally, I would argue the 2001 Avantime is the more appealing of the two. It was futuristic and still so while the Espace V, seems very much a sideways move.
YOUNGEST CLASSIC-CAR EVER
Renault Avantime is a guaranteed classic, with strong values hopefully ensuring many of them survive. Our children need to know what the French were capable of at the turn of the millennium. The sleek lines of the body, bright glass roof with two hatches, original air intakes above the headlights, futuristic design of the rear allow the Renault Avantime to be one of the most exciting new products early XXI century.
TOMORROW
Perhaps, when a small number of carefully preserved, vaguely familiar and unusual-looking cars emerge from padlocked garages and appear at various Concours d'Elégances, ever-larger amounts of money might begin to change hands as the value of these once-ridiculed big French coupés climbs steadily higher.
Surely not? Two words: 'Citroën SM'.

5-story cast-iron Second Empire-style building completed in 1869. Designed by James H. Giles as a department store for Lord & Taylor, the building at 901 Broadway features a bold cast-iron facade together with a prominent mansard roof and striking corner tower. Despite the tremendous size of the cast-iron store, the firm nonetheless outgrew its new building. Shortly after 1870, an addition was erected at 10 East 20th Street.
The present Mansion is a two and one half-story, hip-roofed, stuccoed brick mansion. The Mansion is considered Loudoun County's earliest and best example of Colonial Revival architecture. The Mansion features an imposing tetrastyle Roman Doric portico with a full entablature and triangular pediment. The dwelling also exhibits a modillion cornice with dentils, pedimented dormers, twelve-over-one double-sash windows, and tall interior end chimneys. The Mansion's central entrance is surmounted by a large semicircular fanlight with tracery and flanked by engaged fluted Roman Ionic columns.

I made this model just before I left for sleepaway camp in June, but did not have time to post it until now. Although this model only requires 30 units, the double axes make it very impressive to look at and one of my favorites in my growing collection.
