For #genuary4, life threw a wrench in my dreams of spending lots of time on the "intersections" prompt. Still happy to get something out the door, and get my daily #p5js practice with this take on a tried-and-true optical illusion.

This is my #throwbackthursday photo of my Dad who would have been 93 years old today. He passed away Oct 2nd, 8 yrs. ago. ❤️ Aren’t old photos awesome? I wish my aunts wouldn’t have written on this! 🙄 #photo #photography #oldphoto #oldphotos #time #dad #father #birthday #dadsbirthday #Thursday

I swore I would share this astonishing rock face whenever I saw it on the bird site, so since I’ve migrated, I have to bring it here :)

The rock face was likely originally a #gneiss - a foliated #metamorphic rock where light minerals and dark minerals form in alternating bands due to high heat and pressure. This rock was further complexly folded and refolded during continental collisions and mountain building.

The rock face also has an unusual & beautiful texture caused by the more erodible bands partially eroding. Some have likened the texture to Damascus, metal forging technique.

In 2006, 84-year-old Edith Macefield from Seattle refused a $1 million offer from a shopping mall developer to move, so it was built around her house. In fact, Pixar's film "Up" was later modelled after her home.

Sometimes I see an old ad and think, “This would make an incredible movie.”

Just a little warm watercolor/ink drawning. First this year. Happy new year everyone!

Eilean Chasgaig, with Beinn Alligin behind this morning:

I'm not saying Londoners are jaded but when there's a life-size Totoro at your bus stop and literally *no one* reacts ...

I pet Luna. She was adopted from a shelter and has a lot of separation anxiety. She hates being alone. She lives with another dog named Lyla. Together they help each other. Luna helped Lyla recover from injuries, and Lyla helps Luna feel safe. They even go to the vet together.

Happy 65th birthday, #JiffyPop!

The popcorn that’s “as much fun to make as it is to eat” was invented in 1958 by Frederick C. Mennen (1928-1991).

He sold it to American Home Products a year later. And it's still made today!
