Alphabet Challenge Letter R


Arrrrrg....almost another week has gone by and I am still doing the finishing touches for Joey's alphabet challenge #163: the letter R and the tangle Rysa. Will I ever be among the first again to upload my contribution? Hell, no. Not the way I am going right now. Have lots to do in the garden and it is bloody hot (hottest season of the year in Thailand!!!!). Yesterday I rescued a 3m (10ft) tall scrub from its mistletoe parasite growing at the top, all the while praying that I am not falling off the ladder. I read somewhere that from all falls 43% are falls from ladders and a statistic shows that most of those falls are from 6-10ft heights. Great! If only my chances in winning the lottery...

Anyway, I finished the deed without falling and was able to draw my R and r tiles. First the capital R with but one Rysa segment and a Roids in Roel combination.

My lowercase r is backed by more Rysa segments and the only other tangle I added was Ringz.

This is what I cut off from the scrub...


Parasite (big leaves); small leaves real.



...and now I have a much happier garden resident.

Animal Happy Day

Hurray!!!!!! Los Angeles will no longer allow wild or exotic animals to be used for entertainment purposes — this means that animals will no longer be exploited in circuses, exotic animal shows or even rentals for parties. More...

Homeless Pit Bull gives birth in a den during a massive rainstorm. So many puppies!!! Well, this video has almost 1.9 million views, you might well be among them. If not, click the video. This is so cute.


Human Happy Day

Last week I showed you the amazing photo illusions to promote adoptions for homeless animals in India. This week the art is body painting of animals. No, no animals have been hurt creating the art. If you are as much flabbergasted as I was when I saw this video first and you want to see more, please visit Johannes Stotter's website.



If you like what you see....there is more from this artist here.
