                                             The Matlock Baths Incident by Mark Bryan! 

                                          Derbyshire has its share of oddities. Strange tales indeed. 

         Beautiful indigos and violets, the colors of dreamscapes...

It  hasta be Shasta. Taken on a flyby...haven't done any climbing there in much too long. Photo taken in July.

                   Galaxies are indeed a work of art, from a distance. 

       Note the galactic core and bulge of our own Milky Way Galaxy. 

This image shows how the barred spiral galaxy is feeding material into its central region, igniting massive star birth and probably causing its bulge of stars to grow. The material also is fueling a black hole in the galaxy's core. A galaxy's bulge is a central, football-shaped structure composed of stars, gas, and dust. The dark material surrounding the center of the galaxy is gas and dust that is being funneled into the central region by the bar. The blue regions pinpoint young star clusters.

Spokane Shots

 

South Hill Manito Park just off the Rose Garden

Conservatory

Photos taken early last winter of ‘22.

                                               Nice old stone buildings and bridges 

                                                . . . . . . . 

Spring ‘23

Out and About Spokane - South Hill

Just down the street from Manito Park.

Finally took a wee breakaway and decided to have an up close personal view of the magical magnificent St. John’s Cathedral,  built 1926, one of the very few Gothic style buildings on the west coast. I found out about it through a Canadian YouTube vid re: the carillon there. 49 bells, including Big John, forged in England (this is an Episcopal cathedral) weighing in at 5,000 pounds.

Ready to ship via Panama Canal from Loughborough England.

St. John’s across the labyrinth. One can just imagine Quasimodo swinging wildly from the bell tower! Would love to see it during a lightning storm…this is but half the building. Workers on the front…

Inside is truly gothic. Grand acoustics with that ceiling! They do host concerts; May 20th — Rachmaninov! My neighbor is a classical musician (clarinet, piano), and we plan to attend.

Also, something I have never seen in a church before. — St. John’s Java in the lobby. They serve espresso! Nice before a concert.

Can’t wait to hear the mighty organ from Boston,

 72 ranks in 86 stops,= 4,112 pipes!

Photos show only half the entire cathedral. The outside front was being worked on. I asked the guys slowly descending, “How’s the view up there?” Answered “Awesome!” At 180 ft. I can imagine! Gorgeous views of Spokane below with snow peaked mountains surrounding.

……………

Met up with my neighbor Randy for lunch at Allie’s Vegan Pizzeria just across street from St. John’s with a grand view of same from their windows. We had the crispiest fries in town and I got a delish cheez and mushroom pizza with thin crisp cornmeal crust, he got the veggie and we traded slices. Both superb.Outdoor patio for warm weather nosh. Summer, come she will…

Spokane Handweavers Guild

                 I began noticing the lovely woven projects about the local library I frequented. 

                 Note the beautiful lavender and turquoise bag on the right…

                                        Made from recycled plastic grocery bags!

                                         Interesting Japanese braiding loom above.

                                            Intricate mix of patterns…

Spokane Solstice

                           ❄️Winter ‘22 — coldest in over a decade❄️

                                          Ice crystals form over cabin windows ❄️

 

Solstice  dawned bright and shining. 

The basalt columns look like frosted cupcakes.

Lotus’s footprints en route to mailbox with kitty..

                                                       This dry powdery snow does pile up quickly.❄️

                                                      The route from cabin down Lewis

  Temps have been below 0. Windchill takes that down further. But in the mid day sun ☀️ it’s pretty nice.

…And back to cabin for some freshly baked Gingerbread 😋 Yum.

Wild Men and Women of Winter

                                                              Winter gone WILD!   ❄️❄️❄️

                                           The Wild Men of Europe ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

                        It’s a wild white wonderland ❄️ In wintertime 

                                 Who knows who, or what you might meet!

                          Indeed, ungrateful urchins shall soon find themselves stuffed within the Krampus Sack!

…And perhaps taken to Iceland, there to meet the fanged justice of the terrible Yule Cat!

       

Men and women gone wild…this time of year all over the land, something about the change of seasons, of the Solstice, light and dark, a liminal time betwixt and between…man and beast, or thing….❄️❄️❄️

But we need not venture far, to find tales of The Wild and men who become so…in Pennsylvania, and into the hill country, as far north as Nova Scotia, you will hear whispers of The Belsnickle…..

Sometimes referred to as Peltschnickle, as he is sometimes clad in furs or animal pelts.

He would tap on the windows and doors with sticks before entering. Once inside the house, he would ask whether or not the children had been good that year.

If the children had been naughty, he would threaten to hit them with the switches — or sticks — that he carried with him. But for the good kids, they could expect some small treats like nuts, fruits or candies.
