Yesterday morning, I caught Smitty as well as Sadie inward a rare minute of nose-bumping. Actually, they practice it fairly frequently, having locomote fast friends...it's simply rare for me to choose grip of it amongst the camera.
Or perchance they're working out a strategy to choose grip of this squirrel.
This squirrel has been amongst us for a pose out of years. Just yesterday, I asked Alexa (our AI listening machine, grocery shopping listing creator, kitchen timer, as well as information gatherer) what the life expectancy of a squirrel is. She said it was 12 years. This is i of the fattest squirrels I've always seen, as well as I'm pretty certain she's the matriarch of the squirrel herd that inhabits our field. I'm too suspicious she's the digger inward our blossom pots.
While I was out yesterday, I picked 2 cups worth of lavander blossoms to brand a lavander infusion, which volition hold upward turned into lavander blossom jelly. Pretty, huh?
It's the origin fourth dimension I've tried this infusion, as well as I was surprised when the color completely leached out of the flowers almost instantly. They're non every bit pretty now, are they?
The resulting infusion isn't a pretty lavander color, every bit I'd hoped. Instead it's a sort of darkish brownish purple. I'm sort of wondering what the jelly volition human face like. I could add together some nutrient coloring, but amongst such a night color, I dubiety nutrient coloring would arrive human face better...it could fifty-fifty arrive human face worse.
So, I'll locomote ahead amongst this. It solely makes 4 half-pints, therefore it's non a large loss if it turns out ugly. Either way, it volition nonetheless sense of savour good.
There was some other kitchen occupation concern inward yesterday's wanderings, but aught I'm educate to state yous about. Late inward the day, I got to function tracing out a designing for Todd the cat. It was all going along good until I got to the nose. From there, I was having problem discerning plenty particular to brand the olfactory organ human face similar a nose.
I tried starting over amongst some other transparency, as well as simply tracing the nose, but I needed a sharper icon amongst to a greater extent than detail, as well as therefore I wrote an e-mail to my friend as well as told her the occupation I was having amongst this. Here's the icon I'm working with.
You tin dismiss run across that there's simply a piddling chip of blur. These demand abrupt particular to destination upward looking similar the actual cat, peculiarly when I'm enlarging them to brand a quilt. It's i affair to convey a small-scale iii x 2-inch icon on a reckoner screen. When they're blown upward to a larger size, a lot of the particular is lost. I could nonetheless brand a truthful cat from this image, but it belike wouldn't human face similar Todd. It would simply hold upward an orangish cat...it could hold upward whatsoever orangish truthful cat on the planet.
When I started this whole process, I had this icon to function with. When I tried enlarging it, it ended upward all pixelated because it wasn't a high plenty resolution. That would hold upward fine for making a collage, but for a pawtrait...no go.
So, at nowadays I convey this image, as well as this i powerfulness work. I won't know sure enough until I endeavor to delineate it out.
To practice these, I origin "posterize" the images to laissez passer on me skilful Definition on the color values. Here's "posterized" Todd.
The olfactory organ is a piddling easier to run across now, as well as therefore I'll laissez passer on it some other go. Fingers crossed.
This morning time I'm walking amongst my friend Sue. When I larn home, I convey some to a greater extent than kitchen materials to do, but therefore I'll larn dorsum to function on Todd.
