Birdseye view. Window washer outside my room


I saw a rope come before my window about 45 prior, went out for a bit, came back another rope there. Then the view started to change even more.  24" floor. I didn't want to move much...didn't want to throw off his equilibrium..not that it likely made one bit of difference to him! 


View from above top!


One of the peaks of Oregon state. (or maybe Washington state?!)

Moon and Venus -- like fairy tale


That light at tip is Venus.  Just my cell camera here, so blurry..to the eye, sharp and even more incredible. You could see the entire round of the moon, dark side, with light at clear crescent...with the ball of Venus light right there so close. (the lights below in row are building lights.).

Cassius Clay -- Glazed Bird


My first play with the clay -- just took some disks from the block of clay to feel how it was in my fingers...this guy came out, so took him all the way...a token reminder of the start my new clay avenue with  Cassius Clay.

Since I had made some test tiles for some plates, the bird shares their colors...with a little pingo on his face for character.

Cassius Clay -- Glazed and fired Plates


Still getting to know this clay and how it takes glazes. Playing with the theme of  "organic" rounds -- small plates..and one for when you are even less hungry.
