I met Zig & Zag - and Ray, of course - and sat in the control room of RTE's Presentation department for the duration of a live broadcast of The Den.
Zigzag Canyon on Mt. Hood's south side admired by some trailmates. Coming upon this scene for the first time is a glorious moment...until you realize that to keep going you have to descend the 800 feet to the Zigzag River below and then ascend the other side. Such is Mt. Hood's Timberline Trail, up and down, in and out of canyons, zigging and zagging, most of the way around the mountain.

Zigzag quilt top based on a tutorial by Purl Bee (http://www.purlbee.com/zig-zag-quilt/). I've used vintage sheeting in shades of yellow and brown.
Ground found algorithmically. Added thicker gimp thread to emphasize zig-zag. Experimented with cloth and whole stitch.
Morning light photos of the Bacardi Building. It's a stunner! and I couldn't stop photographing the place. Thankfully the lobby was open for viewing and photos during office hours.
A zig-zag, double cut string oak stair with a frameless, toughened and laminated glass balustrade.
All the fixings and construction parts have been hidden beneath secret panels to give a clean and uncluttered look.
Finished! Three strands of tube beads with Ikat cane detailing - shades of teal/aqua.
Polymer Clay, no glaze, no varnish, just handsanded and polished.

It may not be obvious at first sight but there's a double zigzag/sawtooth pattern going on here. The horizontal sawtooth silhouette of the roofs facing the back of the Rotterdam Central Station and the vertical sawtooth pattern of the glass wall division of the Central Station itself. Seen and taken from the train just before departure.
Yay! I Love it when my new designs arrive ... this one (far left) is called: French Shabby ZigZag from the "French Linen - Antique White" Collection.

I visited Trillium Lake for a beautiful sunrise with my friend John Pedersen. After that we headed over to Little Zigzag falls. It was my first time there and I loved it! Very easy hike in there.
The spray off the falls was hard to deal with but John gave some great advice to help me. Thanks John!

- The Cactus Family. Anderson, E. 2001. -
• The least cactus-like of modern cactus genera and assuredly one of the most, if not the most, ancient, which has diversified and radiated into seven and geographically coherent subgroups of 1-5 recognizable species by way of morphological, anatomical and palynological adaptations, as demonstrated by Leuenberger (I.e. 52, fig. 22). DNA sequence data (Edwards et al. 2005/AJB 92(7):117 7-1188) now imply a 'basal split' between the 8 northern and 9
southern species and suggest that the southern clade (chiefly characterized by the development of stem-stomata coupled with delayed bark-formation, indicative of the transition to stem-based photosynthesis) may be sister to the rest of the entire family.
'Northern' groups/species: l . P. lychnidiflora; 2. P. guamacho, P.aureiflora; 3. P. bleo; 4. P. portulacifolia, P. marcanoi, P.
quisqueyana, P. zinniiflora.
'Southern' groups/species: 5. P. aculeata (widespread); 6. P. horrida, P. diaz-romeroana, P. weberiana; 7. P. grandifolia, P. bahiensis, P.nemorosa, P. sacharosa, P. stenantha.
