This Emu gave me quite a scare when he suddenly appeared behind me. I didn;t see him because of the heavy shadows, but I turned around and he was almost touching me. His neck feathers were all puffed out and he was as tall as me. He was covered in what seemed to be powder, could have been pollen that shimmered in the sun. He didn't seem to be aggressive so I went inside for the camera and he was good enough to wait for me :-)

UP ES44AC 7391 glides east through Maxwell, NE on the Kearney Sub during an April snow storm.
My first "satisfactory" panning shot.
Did the wash at home. This is on Market Street, looking up Stockton with the tunnel under the hill in the distance there. I had just been to the Virgin Megastore for the last time; it is closing down, unsurprisingly - all the ones in the UK changed to Zavvi a couple of years ago and now Zavvi too has vanished. Virgin is behind that lamp-post there.
Enjoyed drawing this one a lot. Used a copic multiliner and it was nicer than the microns I was using the previous day.
Taken at Pebble Beach in Marathon - this was on Tuesday October 26 the day before much of the storm hit - Thunder Bay was already getting hit with this storm...the sun broke out for about 5 minutes and the light was awesome - this is pretty much as shot (minor contrast adjustments).
Here a close up shot of lovely Sooty.

I didn't like the teapot appliqué so I decided on the matryokshka appliqué from the 1/2009 issue. I changed it slightly, so that there are only 2 pieces of fabric for the main body and the 3rd is a strip of ribbon. The eyes and mouth are done w/a satin stitch, and the outline stitching is done with a reinforced straight stitch. The pieces shifted a little when I fused them, so the brown floral slid out from under the yellow dot and I ended up having to stitch on that part, too, although it isn't called for in the pattern.
In preparation for the battle ahead, Sir Tharkin has briefed the men on their battle strategy. The Garhim Soldiers are eager to fight as they line up to receive their arms....
This is my entry to Phase 1 of the LCC Global Challenge 3 on Classic Castle. Hope you like it!
I will be their God
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV)
Christian! here is all you can require. To make you happy, you want something that will satisfy you; and is not this enough? If you can pour this promise into your cup, will you not to say, like David, “My cup runs over [Psalm 23:5]; I have more than heart can wish”? When this is fulfilled, “I am your God”, aren't you possessor of all things? Desire is insatiable as death, but he who fills all in all can fill it [1Corinthians 15:28]. The capacity of our wishes who can measure? But the immeasurable wealth of God can more than overflow it. I ask you if you are not complete when God is yours? Do you want anything but God? Is not his all-sufficiency enough to satisfy you if all else should fail? But you want more than quiet satisfaction; your desire rapturous delight. Come, soul, here is music fit for heaven in this your portion, for God is the Maker of Heaven. Not all the music blown from sweet instruments, or drawn from living strings, can yield such melody as this sweet promise, “I will be their God.” Here is a deep sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of delight; come, bath your spirit in it; swim an age, and you will find no shore; dive throughout eternity, and you shall find no bottom. “I will be their God.” If this do not make yours eyes sparkle, and your heart beat high with bliss, then assuredly your soul is not in a healthy state. But you want more than present delights—you crave something concerning which your may exercise hope; and what more can your hope for than the fulfilment of this great promise, “I will be their God”? This is the masterpiece of all the promises; its enjoyment makes a heaven below, and will make a heaven above. Dwell in the light of your Lord, and let your soul be always ravished with his love. Get out the marrow and fatness which this portion yields yours [Psalm 63:5]. Live up to your privileges, and rejoice with unspeakable joy [1 Peter 1:8].
I tracked the Expedition Instructor cadets down this morning just as they were crawling out of their tents. These cadets didn't seem fazed to see me in the least.

A few days ago the police department of Pasadena, CA was training French police on how to ride their bikes. Meanwhile they made a great show lining up the “horses” along the street.
