I spent most of the day detailing my car. I paid it off! For the first time in 30 years, I will not have a car payment. :) I wanted to give it that "new car" feel again.
Waiting rooms, who loves them? I know everyone loves them, all the people you meet then ignore and forget.. Well wouldn't it be nice to have a conversation starter in your waiting room?
Today I'm attempting #Heidelberg-#Madrid by #rail in one day. 6 trains from #tram to #TGV. Made train no 1 at 6:39. ETA in Madrid is 23:45.
Biggest challenge might be the regional train to Mannheim. Due to illness of personnel at least 1 of the 3 trains I could take simply isn't running, which means that one of the others will be crowded and hence delayed ...
A small flock of 5 American Pink Flamingos photographed wading, feeding, preening and scratching an itch in a pond at a local botanical park here in Florida. Flamingos are always fun to be around because they’re so gentle and friendly.
The heart shape formed by the two flamingos may look sweet but in reality, these two were fighting. They went at it in the flamingo yard for about five minutes, chasing and honking at each other. (📷 8.5.23) #Flamingos#BirdsOfMastodon#NaturePhotography
days 39-40 of my #100DaysChallenge of drawing animals. I continued working on some watercolors and more intentionally to be finished stuff - with the result that except for the elephants that were actually finished at this point, the rest is still languishing in my room in the same state like, 2 weeks or so later. Gah. I hope I'll have the energy to actually finish them this week!
On days 53 & 54 of drawing #animals I started a deep dive on #flamingos trying to assemble a bunch of "flamingo drawing cheat sheets" for myself. The idea was to collect all the information I would need to enable me to draw flamingos without reference in the future. So these contain a bit more details than my usual sketches, crammed unto A3 sheets rather than my usual A4s.
