Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Sunday. Clothes shopping today. MrsD has a job interview! She's applied to be an occasional rep/walk leader for Solo holidays, working with local guides. She wants the walking and the 'free' holidays I suspect. 😉

You all have a great day, given that the rain has finally stopped. Have fun, laughs, a nice curry & chips! Take care.

Today's photo is especially for the two ladies who requested more fungi-fotos, it's a Common Stinkhorn apparently.

Doodled another tree first, a weeping willow, but that was too hard. I’m sharing this because I’ve seen so many people say they wish they could draw so they could participate in inktober.

The only thing that counts is starting and then keeping at it.

Drawing is a skill, not a magical gift.

And skills get better the more you do it.

Don’t expect miracles, though. Even many years and a couple courses later, I still can’t draw like a lot of the people here.

But I love to draw and that joy is the most important!

I finished the Star Trek Astronaut quilt a few minutes ago. Tomorrow I will wash it and take a picture of it on my porch. I think it turned out nice. There is a couple of oopsies but that just makes it special. #StarTrek #quilting #Astronaut #babyquilt

#sunset at Volcanoes National Park. I’m back on Oʻahu, but had a good time with my family on Moku o Keawe (Hawaiʻi island). Steam venting around the crater and the sun setting in the distance. Early post from me for #SilentSunday (but for most of you it’s Sunday already).

Fog season has started on Vancouver Island. I am happy.

#silentsunday

I saw the light (or lack thereof) yesterday, and grabbed my camera and stepped outside, pretty sure I'd see the mother of all rainbows. But there was none. There was however, the darkest and brightest 'at the same time' moment I think I've ever seen. Extraordinary.

Fall is pretty!...

....short.

It might snow tonight.

How would you describe your mind?

With the days shortening and cooling in the northern hemisphere the #wildlife is busy preparing for the coming lean months of scarce food

But these two #deer seem to have made some sort of evolutionary leap in cognitive planning skills

Or they are evolving into snails

I'm not sure

Good Morning Tiny Dancers.
Little bit of work today but not much.
Bella is currently under the blankets, snoring her face off. It's a very tough life, she's so brave.

Aaaand we're caught up.

The plus side to us running our own kit now and having a whole load of extra capacity is the content processing normally is scaled pretty well and does tend to chew through a backlog at a pretty fast speed!
