Picture Kaleidoscope 10/7/15

Morning!

Life is overfull again. Quarter end close at work. Oi!
I so totally dislike the way the iPhone now parcels pics in the folders. I can never find anything!
Anyway, torturing you with my own stuff this week. :P

Eye in the Sky! 

Clouds were moving fast this day. I never remember this thing has a video function. DOH

So many cloud layers...like filters...

Clouds painted on like brush strokes! 

Buddy at work found her dog chewing on this. On the lower part of the shell there's blood. Turtle did not take kindly to getting her shell chewed on. They found the poor thing a safer home. :)

Good Morning!

Fencon was this past weekend. Not a lot of costumes, but this one was fab! Hello, Time Lord!

Cool lighting/transporter/force field mechanism. Done by one of the ConCom guys. Fab work! There was another set they made but I never remembered to go find it. :( 

How did it get to be October already? Winter is Coming! Heh heh

Rebels vs. Big Damn Heroes:

How can two such different ideas strike the same chords in so many fans? Join us as we compare and contrast!

Argh! Best laid plans and all that.
Had a blast at ConDFW at least. Heh heh

Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer - Oh this is going to be fun!

Ack! It won't let me share the Fencon X Flight Safety video. This is a total hoot, especially if you've ever attended any conventions. Heh heh.

Picture Kaleidoscope 9/26/12

Have several odds and ends this week. :P (The week after a con is chaos!)

Now that the season is changing, the sun is coming up and going down with better timing for pics! Heh heh

The sky was very funky this day.

You have to see the larger size (though it still didn't do it justince), but there was sap on the window and it was shining like diamonds in the sunlight.

Fencon was this past weekend. Missed taking pics of the really cute costumed kids. Doh!

It's had to tell, but the coat of the outfit was incredibly detailed. The whole ensemble was gorgeous!

Step father does woodworking. These two photos are of some of his latest creations. Won some awards too! 

I thought this one was super cool.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Picture Kaleidoscope 9/28/11

A feast for your eyes!

I've always thought this unending hall visual effect is kind of cool! 

Rie Sheridan's costume at Fencon.

The Steampunk Illumination Society.  There were some really nice Steampunk outfits this year. 

She has a super cool rocket pack strapped to her back!

Not only was the Wicked Witch of the West done up steampunk, but her monkey moved! So cool!

Ah yes, Cthulu toilet paper roll protectors! No one will be messing with your paper if he's around. So cute!

Jackie Leaf mutated some dolls she bought on the cheap to the famed SG-1 group. They really came out great! 

Samantha Carter. (Her hat walked off somewhere.)

Teal'c.  He even had his gold symbol on his forehead. Jackie said the staff is still a work in progress.

Daniel Jackson - glasses and all! (She had to make those and add them - nice job!)

And of course Jack O'Neill. Jackie brought the for the possibly last Obligatory Stargate Panel at Fencon. Very well attended! Always a fun panel.

Now for other cool photos I ran into during the week. :)

From NASA's Image of the Day - Herschel Mission Finds Galactic Growth Slow and Steady.

Another NASA image - The Thin Blue Line.

Earth Shot of ther Day - Fairy Bonsai by Adam Gibbs - so cute!

Chuck Wendig took one of his son that is too rad. I don't think it was intentional, but if you look at his eyes, it's got a cyberpunk look to them! Heh heh

Some way cool 3D images of room in Latvia. Very rad!

The Milky Way From the Top of the World!

Rosemary Clemment-Moore took this pic of a Giant Armadillo! With HORNS!

National Geographic has a set of 8 Amazing Nature Photos. Pretty cool!

And from Jerry J Davis comes Trump Tower Sunset!

Till next time!
