I used Allison's (CluckCluckSew) Sparkle pattern from her book Growing Up Modern. I left out a few blocks and used a 14.5" by 8.5" piece of white couture cotton to applique the name on. The quilt was put together in three different sections to accomodate the name block. I also left off the borders because alone it is about 36" by 41" which is a decent size baby quilt.
Thanks Allison for all your awesome patterns!!!
We used this spring to explore various flower scents. My granddaughter likes the scent of lilac the most.

I used to avoid sunny days like the plague when photographing cemeteries and abandonments. Was simply convinced that the forlorn quality I seek in my work could not be accomplished in bright sunlight. There's still some truth to that thinking. But like most creative endeavors, there are endless approaches to reach the end result. It's all a matter of changing your outlook. I shoot mostly on the basis of how things make me feel rather than how they look. I think it finally dawned on me that I still respond emotionally to different scenes even in bright sunlight. So it was just a matter of adapting my cloudy day mentality. As a result I often find myself pointing the camera directly into the sun rather than trying to avoid it. Guess that's a case of facing your fears head on. This scene is a case in point. I had walked my way from one end of this cemetery to the other, mostly just absorbing the light and shadow and shooting very little. I settled in on this spot. Loved how the the light filtered through the leaves, filling the entire scene with texture. I settled in and began to compose and shoot. Really tried to concentrate my thoughts into this one shot. Took maybe 25 frames, each at a slightly different angle and bracketed heavily. I've learned from experience not to rush something like this and to bracket heavily. It's nearly impossible to judge the quality of your exposure while working sunblind outdoors looking at the tiny review screen. So I try to cover all bases during the shoot to ensure that I come home with at least one good shot. This is the resulting image; a scene where every single pixel seems to contribute to the whole with not one wasted.

I so happy to be able to participate in and contribute to the upcoming centennial celebration of the historic iconic Moulton barns of Jackson Hole's days of yesteryear, one that's forever established as part of Wyoming's old west. What will the celebration include you ask ? Well, for one, the Moulton family will be gathering in Grand Teton National Park. There will be an art show where many will have their photographs taken over the years displayed and auction in an effort to raise additional funds to help restore these priceless, historic barns.
Will you be in Jackson Hole for the centennial celebration of the Moulton Barns this July? Do you you have photos you'd like to have entered into the art show dedicated to this celebration ? Should you submit a photo print, canvas print, etc., according to my Moulton Barn facebook contact, it does not have to be just of the Moulton Barns; it can be any photo taken throughout Jackson Hole, WY.
I'll be there and you be able to see my submissions ... hope to see yours there too. For further information on the art show and the centennial celebration just click on one of these links: Art Show || Moulton Barns Centennial Celebration Info

4 year anniversary photo . . .
As it started snowing here in mid west (USA) this past Tuesday, I thought back to my first winter visit to the Jackson Hole, WY to shoot some winter scenes there. So I went through the raw files from that trip and lo and behold I looked at the date and saw that as of today (February 27) it will be 4 years ago when I took this Teton sunset scene. So this shot is in celebration of the 4 years since I made that winter visit.
I'll return during the winter of 2013-2014 as I have a couple of special projects I need to work on while there. So, if you plan to make a winter visit and want to join me let me know ... you'll have to rent snow shoes (but that's inexpensive).

One with very little leaf left over after the insects have nibbled it, and one with virtually no leaf tissue left after it sat outside all winter.
Used this conga for my album Smooth Summer Beats on Spotify, Deezer, Youtube and Apple Music. It has a deep dry sound…
Mama pidge decided these plastic house slippers would make a great nesting place. She tried twice. Note the abandoned egg in the toe of the slipper. She ultimately hatched two babies and now all three of them live on the balcony in total lack of fear with the human occupants.
Refresh single use eyedrops - about 1 inch in height.
Photographed in front of a light box, while turned on their sides to get the different fluid bubbles. Rotated 90 degrees in post to enhance the resemblance to bottles, with Topaz filters to enhance contrast, detail, and color. I was amazed at how jagged the edges were under the macro lens - they look smooth to the naked eye!

I used a slight touch of Topaz Clean to give some extra texture on the seedhead. All stages of a poppy are just so lovely to get a shot of aren't they?

Early on Sunday morning, the cold was biting, well below zero. Bradgate Park was already busy with visitors, and in places the ground had turned white, dressed in a true winter coat. Trusting the BBC weather forecast that promised a bright, sunny day, I set off towards the park.
Almost immediately, I encountered a young male Fallow Deer (buck – Dama dama). As soon as he noticed the crowd, he stopped and, almost knowingly, posed for a few seconds. What caught my attention straight away were his antlers. The left antler showed the typical broad, palmate shape of a Fallow Deer, while the right one looked strikingly different—more like the pointed tips of a young male Red Deer.
Most likely, this unusual shape resulted from a deformation or break during the growth phase of the antler. I found it fascinating; perhaps the experienced park rangers would have more insight into the history behind this individual’s antlers.
With winter clearly arriving, migrant birds have started to appear. After recent sightings of Stonechat, Goldcrests have now begun to show themselves. I am sharing two Goldcrest photographs from this walk. Unfortunately, I experienced a technical issue with my Z8, so I am confident that on my next visit I will be able to present sharper and more varied poses of this tiny bird.
As always, my photo walks would not be complete without the Robin (European Robin / Redbreast), which once again stepped onto the path in front of me, as if keeping me company.
I am sharing a total of seven photographs and hope you enjoy them.
Wishing you all a beautiful week ahead.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.
Thank you so much for visiting my gallery, whether you leave a comment, add it to your favorites, or simply take a moment to look around. Your support means a lot to me, and I wish you good luck and beautiful light in all your endeavors.

I used crimson red acrylic paint to paint Green Lantern's boots yesterday. I can see now from the light when the flash went off that there are some spots where it still needs to be touched up, but his boots look a lot better now.. the cats run across this shelf from behind the love seat and they run over GL's boots with their claws... they wore off the paint that way...you would think his boots were made of rubber, but they were just painted red...I pushed the figures back far enough so this shouldn't happen anymore,. I'm pleased with how well the paint matches the paint on the rest of his boots!
Apps used: Take the photo with my iPhone 7 plus and using the Procam application. The edition is done with Vsco, leaving it in black and white and more contrast.
Backstory: While I was waiting to take the subway, going shopping, I wanted to take a picture that I had been thinking about for a while and this is the result. I hope you like it.

Ethiopia (Abisinia), África pura
© All rights reserved. © Copyright.
Do not use my photography withaut my permision.
Viaje de 8 días por Ethiopia. Empezamos por el Norte, el desierto, la Depresión de Danakil, el lugar más caluroso del planeta, dominado por la etnia Afar, para posteriormente bajar al Sur, la sabana, verde, el Valle del Rio Omo, visitando diferentes etnias: Dorze, Konso, Dassanech y Hamer. Extenuante pero corto, muy corto.
Ethiopia (Abisinia, el Reino de Saba en la Biblia) es un lugar inhóspito y no preparado para el turismo y debes contar con una agencia que organice tu aventura (yo fui con Karibu, www.kaett.com). Ethiopia limita con países en conflicto y en los desplazamientos por el Norte, el desierto, Danakil, estarás acompañado por policía o milicianos armados, además de guía, cocinero, pinche y conductores.
Primer día, llegamos mi mujer y yo, a primeros de Mayo, época no turística debido al calor, a Addis Ababa, con Ethiopian Airlines, para enlazar con un vuelo regional a Makele. En Makele montamos en 4x4 para desplazarnos a Dallol, zona desértica con temperaturas de noche 26 y día 45ºC. Dormimos de acampada, al aire libre sobre camastros, junto con todos nuestros acompañantes, el viento y millones de estrellas. El calor, agobiante, Mayo no es el mejor mes para visitar Danakil. Antes de dormir vislumbramos las caravanas de camellos trasportando la sal depositada en el desierto al secarse un mar interior miles de años atrás. También visitamos las salinas infinitas, disfrutamos de una puesta de Sol con reflejos, única.
El segundo día visitamos la Puerta del Infierno, una zona donde la tierra expulsa compuestos de azufre continuamente y donde se han generado unos cráteres freáticos únicos en el mundo, de una extraordinaria belleza y colorido. Andábamos sobre cristales de azufre y óxidos metálicos que crujían bajo nuestros pies. Al terminar la jornada las zapatillas habían pasado a mejor vida. Siempre acompañados por un Kalashnikova AK 47. Llegar hasta allí en un 4x4 sobre las salinas infinitas, con 20 cm de agua sobre la superficie y a 10 km/h durante 2 o 3 hrs, sin llegar nunca, sin ver fondo bajo las ruedas, es uno de los muchos gratos recuerdos que nos ha proporcionado esta superaventura. Más tarde visitamos a los Afar durante su trabajo diario, cortar bloques de sal de 30x40x8 cm que se cargarán sobre los camellos para transportarlos en caravanas infinitas. Aquí todo es infinito. Trabajan bajo un Sol abrasador, pero aunque el Gobierno les ofrece mecanizar la explotación, los Afar no lo permiten, temen perder su forma de vida. Ya no sé dónde dormimos, quizás en Dodhom, donde mataron un cabrito para cenar.
El tercer día pretendíamos subir por la noche al Erta Ale, volcán activo con una caldera de magma en ebullición. Al llegar al campo base para gestionar permisos y más y más acompañantes, las temperaturas habían subido a 52ºC. Esta es la zona más caliente de la Tierra y el espesor de la corteza terrestre es el más estrecho de todos los continentes. De hecho esta es la zona del Rift, donde el cuerno de África se escindirá del continente en algunos miles de años. Estamos 110m por debajo del nivel del mar. Mi mujer sufrió un pequeño golpe de calor mientras tratábamos de comer algo a 52ºC y por prudencia descartamos subir al Arte Ale, lo dejamos, o mejor dicho, lo dejaré para un próximo viaje. Se suben 10Km andando por la noche durante unas 4 horas y se duerme en la caldera, tomando fotos del magma durante la noche, para bajar a primera hora de la mañana, antes de que el Sol abrase.. Así las cosas, decidimos volver a Makele (necesitábamos hotel y descanso) pero de camino visitamos un pequeño lago encantador, quizás el lago Bakili, junto a las salinas, dado que el cambio de planes no nos permitiría ya visitar el Lago Afdera de aguas color esmeralda.
El cuarto día, improvisando, desde Makele hicimos una visita a una de las miles iglesias en Ethiopia excavadas en la roca, donde el prior nos abrió y atendió con sumo cariño, y posteriormente visitamos la Misión del Padre Ángel, amigo Vasco que realiza una labor extraordinaria en la zona. El Padre Ángel (www. Angelolaran.com) aparenta muchos más años de los que tiene, eso es debido sin duda a una larga vida de sufrimiento. Nos invitó a comer en la misión pero tuvimos que descartarlo para volver a Makele y tomar vuelo a Addis Ababa, también queda pendiente para un próximo viaje. A la vuelta enviamos un donativo a la Misión, ese país y Ángel necesitan de toda nuestra ayuda.
Quinto día, desde Addis Ababa tomamos un 4x4 para desplazarnos hacia el Sur, rico en Etnias, poblados, tribus, que nos iban a enamorar. Ni que decir tiene que a estas alturas ya me había convertido en un maestro de la fotografía en desplazamiento, a 80 Km/h en 4x4 se obtienen, a 1/2000s, unas fotografías impagables, las carreteras están llenas de vida y de color. Por la tarde llegamos a Arba Minch, donde habitan los Dorze, a una cota de 3.200m , en sus casas de bambú. Las chozas, de unos 40m2 pueden incluso transportarse con ayuda de 60 personas cuando las termitas se comen la base de sus troncos. Tienen la apariencia de la cabeza de un elefante. Esa noche dormimos en el Paradise Lodge, recomendable, en una cabaña con vistas a los lagos Abaya y Chamo. Estábamos muertos, no hice fotos de la vía láctea y no me lo perdonaré nunca, pero conseguí unos amaneceres únicos.
Sexto día, de nuevo en 4x4 y 1/2000s. Nos desplazamos a las tierras altas donde habita la Etnia Konso, en el rio Segen. Los Konso son la tribu más organizada y han sido reconocidos como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por Unesco. Un ejemplo, la piedra de la verdad, donde ante el Consejo del Pueblo ningún vecino se atrevería a mentir influenciado por un temor ancestral a sufrir los peores males como consecuencia de mentir mientras se está de pie sobre esa piedra. La visita a su poblado es indescriptible, una sociedad muy avanzada con un nivel jerárquico bien asumido y una socialización envidiable. Después, desplazamiento a la zona de Turmi, donde empezamos a cruzarnos con los Hamer, pintados con barro en el pelo y acompañados de collares de conchas. Dormimos en el Busca Lodge, con generador eléctrico que arranca de 6 a 9, eso sí, por la mañana y por la noche.
Séptimo día, cruzando el rio Omo en piragua (tronco de árbol vaciado) para visitar a los nómadas Dassanech. ¡Qué encanto!. Nos recibieron con sus bailes y pasamos la mañana de su mano, sí, nos llevaban de la mano mientras nos enseñaban su poblado. Sus poblados se caracterizan por el uso de chapa de lata para cubrir sus chozas, ese material que les han traído los Dioses les permite que la vida de su choza se alargue por varios años, además de mantenerlas secas, maravillas de la tecnología. Unos globos y caramelos son el regalo más apreciado por los niños. Por la tarde visita al mercado de Turmi, donde los Hamer y otras tribus se dan cita para intercambiar sus productos (grano, ganado, madera trabajada,...). Más tarde, casi a la puesta de Sol visitamos un poblado Hamer. De chozas con vallado para los animales. Igual de encantadores que los Dassenech, solo nos atendieron los niños, los adultos vienen andando desde el mercado de Turmi. Los niños te piden 5 Birs por cada foto que les haces (íbamos armados con fajos de billetes de 5, claro), el capitalismo está llegando para quedarse. Sonrisas y bromas continuamente, inolvidable. De nuevo al hotel con acotado horario para la ducha.
Octavo día, 4x4 a Arba Minch y vuelo regional a Addis Ababa, con shopping y cena étnica para tomar vuelo de nuevo para Madrid (Ida y vuelta nocturna).
Algún bajón de tensión, golpes de calor, catarros por el A/A del 4x4, diarrea (posiblemente el contacto con los billetes viejos contaminados con todo tipo de gérmenes), pero desde ya, contando ansioso los días que faltan para volver de nuevo. Bendita África pura.
