Picture Kaleidoscope – WHOFest 2016

This past weekend ChibiChains and I had a dealers table at WHOFest!

A gaggle of Doctors and hammy companions? 😛

A Doctor WHO themed belt Drew created while at WHOFest. 🙂

The Sisters are here to help.

K-9 the Doctor’s dog. And one of my favorite characters! 🙂

Even Daleks like to come to WHOFest! Heh heh. (Old and new versions too!)

Vastra from Vicotrian England. And quite a detective in her own right. 🙂

The newest Dalek type rolling through the Dealers’ Room! Wished I’d caught him talking. Dang it! 🙂

Have a great one!

Had to do a backup before upgrading WordPress so now I have little time to finish this post. DOH! Time to hurry, hurry, hurry!

Red Cabins by Michael A Blanchette at Earthshots.org. Funny thing is it is the sky and mountain that grabbed me first. 😛

Look at the sky on this one! Called Rosy Inlet – nice work Mr. Blanchette!

Happy Holi by Rajib Singha at Earthshorts.org – such lovely colors! Lots of other cool pics at his flicker account. Very nice!

Have to run! Have a great and colorful day!

Good morning all!

Loved the color difference between the two cloud systems. The darker one looks somewhat like something from a disaster movie. 😛

A lot of whites and grays that day.

Was trying to capture the dragon. See below!

Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!!!! I could not believe it. Wished I’d been able to get it from the better angle, but I was driving. Had to snap it at the stop sign. 😛

Friend gave me these for my b-day. Isn’t this the cutest idea ever?

So cute!!!!!

Have a great one!

Morning! The weather is looking frightful for this afternoon. Eek!

Red Deer During Rutting by Dirk Manderbach at Earthshots.org. Interesting angle! You just have to look at it. Heh heh. No website for Mr. Manderbach. 🙁

La Haya by Renato Lopez Baldo at Earthshots.org. Has a neat fairy tale look and feel to it, don’t you think? His gallery is full of cool stuff, even National Geographic covers!

Sunset Over Washington by Davo Muttiah at Earthshots.org. Lovely composition. More lovely stuff at his site. 🙂

Have an awesome day!

Picture Kaleidoscope – AllCon 2016

This past weekend we were at ALLCon 2016!

Energizer bunny!

New setup we tried out for AllCon. Have an extra side table to give us more room. 🙂

Not your typical caped crusaders. 😛

Umbrella Corp Security – Japan branch. They mean business! 😛

Who said skeletons can’t be cool? 🙂

Clockwork woman! You can see her gears! Eek!

Steampunk Scottish Soldier. He looks swank!

They look serious! (Can’t for the life of me remember the character’s name. Wah!)

The Light and Dark sides of the Force.

She is so CUTE!

Daughter came up with this during the con. Came out Fab! Deadpool Chainmail Dice Bag. 🙂

Xavier and Cerebro – sweet!

Mrs. Frizzle and friend! From the Magic School Bus!

We finally remembered the pixie lights to add to the chainmail sphere. I think it looks like the Deathstar now. 🙂

A gaggle of Disney Villains! No one is safe!

Have a great one!

Morning!

Going to be a quick post today. 🙂

My daughter does chainmail jewelry. She created these two pairs this week. She’s upped her game. These are made with super tiny rings! Aren’t they gorgeous? Blows my mind. 🙂

We have a red leafed tree in our yard. It goes through a transition very fast once it flowers. It’s so quick, I’ve missed it before. 😛 Thought I would share three different moments from 2016 so you can see what it does. I LOVE the cute little blossoms. 🙂

The in between stage – half flowers half leaves.

The final stage – mostly leaves. 🙂 And all this before spring is even officially here!

Have an awesome day!

Morning!

A Yosemite Night by Alan W. at Earthshots.org. Brighter than you’d expect, no? Lots of lovely nature pics at his Flicker site.

Ice Age by Wilson Ng at Eathshots.org. More cool stuff at his site as well. Nice!

These Mesmerizing Photos Show Tall Buildings Framing the Sky by Michael Zhang from Petapixel. Photography by Andy Yeung. (Looks like they’ve locked the image urls so I can only point you over there, not give a sneak peek. But these are fun! So well worth going to look!)
