Everyone finds himself in the world where he belongs. The essential thing is to have a fixed point from which to check its reality now and then.

Ha! thanks and it looks like we just might get some on Chrsitmas if the forecast holds up, though it will likely be a dusting only.
After having the niece and nephew watch Forbidden Planet, Uncle Gilliatt had them work on drawing and painting skills during their weekend visit....
Niece working on a Screetch Owl using the Audubon Society field guide as a reference:
Both busy with the watercolors.
I had to cringe a few times when I caught them using a scrubbing motion with the sable hair brushes:
It is always nice to have family around at this time of year.....isn't that what it is all about?
Keep prodding them as they seem like they enjoy being artist.
Here is to a very Merry, Peaceful Christmas Gilliatt!

Good choice--Forbidden Planet is one of those movies that even kids who don't think they'll like old movies like.
I have to say, that warping effect you used to hide their faces in the picture is kind of creepy, because it looks exactly like what happens in photographs of people who've been cursed in The Ring.

It's good to see the kids are getting some training from their genius uncle.
My elder niece is a little artist. she is only 5 years old but very fond of making cards. She had sent me this a few months ago and I scanned it immediately.
Thanks so much and I wish the same for you.
Looks like the Shepherd enjoys the snow, I see some on the muzzle.
I'm still keeping the fingers crossed for some rain and snow.
Agreed, that turned out kind of weird. Their mom and dad probably wouldn't mind their faces being shown given their involvemnet with that infernal facebook and tweeter business, but since I didn't ask, I took decided to warp.
Wonderful! I like he dresses on the hangers too.
A few pics of our second White Christmas in three years taken the day after.
The 2012 Halloween "Mozartgeist" waiting for New Year's celebration.
His original Halloween pumpkin head has deflated down to a rotted blob no longer visible.
The second head is waiting to be installed just prior to the New Years eve auto de fe.

I think I'd prefer a far less white Christmas at the moment.

Gilliatt, OrphanPip great pictures, keep them coming.
Hehe, puts my paltry couple of inches to shame. "Damn Texans, look at 'em get'n all excited about a little snow"
A few close up shots taken last week.
Nice!
Uhhhh...
Thanks for this nice little comment.
We have a mutual love of flowers, Snowqueen, but you get to be around them more. Your pics are beautiful, as usual, and I love your little niece's drawing! Such a bee-yu-ti-ful dress!
Great pics, kittypaws and Gilliatt! I envy your wilderness abode, Gilliatt. I may live only a few miles down the road, but it's miles and miles of roads and cement in every direction.

Thanks for appreciating Qimi. I think I should have learnt some drawing skills from my niece.
