"What is to come"
(image id is both in the alt text and below the read more- I put it under one because it's incredibly long)
And so there we have it, the 200+ followers artpiece that I have been working on for several days, if I had to guess I'd say it took 25 or so hours over eleven days. Honestly it's so surreal to me that I'm here with over 200 followers (260 as of typing this- yes, I procrastinated on this), especially when I only hit 100 followers in February. It's genuinely really nice to know that people are actually interested in my art (before anyone brings up spam bots- I know there are a few of them amongst my followers but I've checked most of them and I am 100% confident that over 200 of them are real). I don't really have much else to say really- I'm just grateful to have the support. Thanks y'all :).
[Image id: a large, lineless digital drawing of several dinosaurs. It is nighttime. At the bottom of the piece, a lone Eoraptor lunensis is walking across the floodplains- both the ground and the Eoraptor are just silhouettes, the early dinosaur has been given protofeathers. The full moon is shining, it's size is exaggerated for artistic affect. Behind the moon, the heads of sixteen different dinosaurs can be seen (listed left to right, bottom to top) Row 1- Thecodontosaurus antiquus (small sauropodomorph with light brown protofeathers, near-white undersides, straight stripes that are moderately darker than the base colour and vibrant green eyes), Coelophysis bauri (small early theropod with a long and narrow skull, its protofeathers are golden and black. A soft orange stripe runs across the back of its head, it has warm brown eyes. Row 2- Plateosaurus trossingensis (long-necked sauropodomorph, it has reddish-brown scales, light undersides, triangular stripes running down it's spine that get bigger the further down they get and pale yellow eyes), Heterodontosaurus tuckii (small ornithopod with a hooked grey beak. It has spiky green feathers, a lighter chest and a darker stripe running along its head and back, there are three small spots on its face, two behind the eye and one infront of it, it's eyes are bright yellow). Row 3- Megalosaurus bucklandii (medium-sized theropod with warm brown feathers, lighter undersides, dark spots and bright yellow eyes, there are several scars on its face), Brachiosaurus altithorax (greenish-grey true sauropod with lighter undersides, a dark pink patch on its throat, dark desaturated brown eyes and a few small scars on its neck), Archaeopteryx (early toothed bird with a black head, white neck and bright yellow eyes). Row 4- Hylaeosaurus armatus (pale brown ankylosaur with lighter undersides and vibrant green eyes), Velociraptor mongoliensis (dromaeosaur with light brown feathers, a lighter chest, a black stripe near its eye and light green eyes), Sinosauropteryx prima (small compsognathid theropod with ginger protofeathers, an off white mask and undersides and pale yellow eyes), Iguanodon bernissartensis (large greenish-grey ornithopod with a slightly darker back, pale undersides, a grey beak, and yellow eyes). Row 5- Matuku otagoense (heron with medium grey feathers and a small crest. A red stripe runs from just behind its nostrils to about a third of the way down its neck. Its undersides are white, its beak is grey and its eyes are brown), Triceratops prorsus (three-horned ceratopsian with grey-brown scales, lighter undersides, two triangular stripes between it's brow and nasal horns, reddish-orange diamond-like stripes on its frill, a hooked grey beak and golden eyes. Its brow horns curve forward at the base. Row 6- North Island brown kiwi (plump brown bird with a long pale beak, whiskers and black eyes, its nostrils are at the tip of its bill, and unlike the other dinosaurs in the sky part of its body below the neck is visible), male house sparrow (small redish-brown and grey bird with a black bib below it's bill), it has brown eyes and a dark grey bill. Row 7- rock dove (grey bird with iridescent green feathers scattered across its neck, a dark grey beak, and warm brown eyes). end id]

Hareid, Møre og Romsdal, Norge, 1972.
North Atlantic Adventure
For the next month and a half my postings are likely to be erratic. I have queued a few posts, but the summer of 2023 proved a difficult one as my wife was in the hospital for two and a half weeks. She has recovered well, but I have had little enough time to select and edit photos for posting. In consequence I do not have an archive of photos to post while away from home.
Now I am packing to leave Tuesday for a month in various North Atlantic places with longish stays in Norway, Iceland and Quebec, sailing between them with visits to several islands (Shetlands, Faeroes, Greenland, Newfoundland). For a decade or so we have been planning such a trip, and finally it is about to happen. The combination of being busy and out of internet coverage means postings are likely to be erratic until mid October.
[Sadly we do not have enough time in Norway to visit Hareid, my paternal grandfather's home. Given how much my brother-in-law, who has done most of the trip planning, has included, however, we are likely to see much (too much?).]

This home in Carmel, New York is on its own island and just sold for $6.4M. The unusual thing about it is that they incorporated the rock formation of the island into the build. It’s very cool.
It also has beautiful wood, glass ceilings, and there’s one of the large rock formations.
In the sunroom there is one of many fireplaces, but I’m not sure about the way they put the pieces of rock on it- perhaps they should be closer together.
There’s another lovely stone fireplace and book shelving in the living room.
But, in the dining room, it looks like they just stuck pieces of rock up on the fireplace. I just don’t like the way it looks. It’s missing something.
Look at the cool rock formation in the kitchen. It makes a counter.
The main bedroom has a lovely stone wall and fireplace.
Beautiful wood and tile en suite.
There are 6 bds. in the house and they all have built-in desks, plus fireplaces and stones.
This is similar to showering outdoors.
Huge covered deck with gorgeous views.
There’s certainly a lot of space to entertain.
Great space just for parties.
There are slips for large boats and small.
But if you don’t want to take the boat, there’s a helipad on the roof.
It’s not that far from points on the mainland, either.

g.u.n.’s involvement in angel island continues to plague me to this day. did Gerald find it by himself or has g.u.n. known for a while. the warehouse in sonic battle that housed the Gizoid- where did they find it? how would a military operation miss an entire floating island?
