In A Blue Phase

I seem to be stuck in a blue phase at the moment with all these little humps.  I'm almost done with the horizontal part of them now, though.

Scenic Vistas

This top photo is a panorama with the ocean in the background.  The next two are of  the landscape at the bottom of the cliffs.  Yes, that's a dirt road.


These last few are a bit more distant views of the cliffs.

Three Leaves

Yay, three leaves about done.  One quarter of the first part is getting an appearance.

Little Flowers And Big Cliffs

This is more Miradouro.  These little yellow flowers were growing everywhere.  I'm not sure what they are.  They remind me of mallow.

And below are more views of the cliffs.  They look so majestic and imposing.  I know I did not want to fall down one.




A Couple Flowers

I've noticed a problem with this piece.  It's got a registration problem on the printing.  The farther down the piece you go, the more obvious it becomes.  I will not be buying another Orchidea kit because of this.

All Sucked Up

Yay, it's done!  And it came out pretty well, too!  Now to mail it off to its recipient.  This is one of her favorite phrases.

More Miradouro

There is this beautiful landscape only a few miles outside of Luanda.  There are developer signs for a subdivision at the top of this - but nothing else.  It's gorgeous, and they're going to build ticky tacky boxes on top of it that will fall down in twenty years if/when the economy improves.  Instead of preserving the beauty and making this into an attraction to escape the city, it's going to become part of the city.  It makes me sad to see somewhere like this turned into another wasted opportunity.
