sanguine beater deathbed

Another lucky random pick including a quotation, saving a heap o' time scooting around getting side tracked.  Had a quiet day today, kids in Ipswich were busy so I'll go there tomorrow.  Today I went out poking around running a couple of errands, just checking what's going on.  But I kind of ran out of 'things' and energy at the same time so came home and took the elevator up .  When it opened I stepped into a film crew and about 30 women making a movie in the lobby!  I say 'lobby' lightly since it's just the space where we take the elevator shared by two units on this floor.  Big lights were set up, the women were all dressed in black wearing top hats and some with bright boas-  I thought it was a surprise party for ME!  Alas.  Foiled again.  Sad that I am writing about this as if it were actually an *experience*, eh?  On to the next thing-

His images of the ice covered towers and their surrounding piers are simply stunning. The result of the recent polar vortex hitting the US, each lighthouse is encased in a crystalline shell after being hit by waves that freeze to their classic exteriors. Icicles hang from every surface, even piling up on the windward side of the tower. You can see more of Zakowski’s fantastic shots on 500px.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  This fun set of paper books was created by Japanese graphic designer and architect Yusuke Oono who conceived the idea as a clever way to illustrate scenes from individual stories in three dimensions. The 40-panel books are laser cut from paper and assembled into a booklet that can be viewed page by page or fanned out as a sort of layered diorama of silhouettes. You can see dozens of additional views from each book right here.

  
  

  

  Squirrels the size of a half a penny!  Aren't they cute?  I could carry these in my wallet for when I need a squirrel fix that doesn't involve climbing trees.
