“What’s the point of getting up in the morning unless you’re gonna have an adventure?" - Hans Zimmer

Hans Zimmer playing Madagascar



And if you love long highway drives,
You've gotta love Thunderbird by Hans Zimmer,
From the movie Thelma and Louise!





Painting HIS backyard

So much to be grateful for, at Thanksgiving.
No matter who we are, or what we have,
There are always people going thru worse stuff than us.
Thinking of them ...

Poured a glass of red wine,
Stepped outside,
And started painting HIS backyard


The leaves are turning yellow, orange, red ...
And every colour in between,
And they are beginning to fall.
As they come to the end of their brief lives ...

Started this painting in September ...




And just finished it now

Who buys computers these days? Build your own instead

Six years ago my son and i decided to build a computer,
 rather than buy one off-the-shelf.
It was time well spent together!

Now he's built his own gaming machine,
all by himself!











Need help building your own computer?

Spider on a web

If you want to learn acrobatics, ask this spider


Or if you want to learn weaving ...


This side view of the spider web looks like the strings of a harp


This loonie-sized spider,
resembles a crab!
(The largest spiders I've seen, 
are the tarantulas,
In our home in Africa)


What a beautiful spider web,
3 feet in diameter


I once saw a spider eating it's own web!
