3D Fun

 Hi,  Today's post features some fun 3D Printer Art that my wonderful brother, Roger made.

He was up for a brief visit last week and brought along some gifts he made for me.

Today's pieces are (Cat) related.  You'll have to come back tomorrow to see the rest of what he brought!

                         Look at this "Chonky" cat dude! 

                Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil, See No Evil.

This little beauty is so adorable.  Love that you can insert a T-light (not the type with an actual flame) 

                                              The Thinker

   Regal Maine Coon - Look at the detail and texture this one has.

Love this little guy.  I think it looks "Steampunk" but my granddaughter thought it looked more, "Star Wars" like.  What do you think?

Dizzy

Medieval 

                           Exotic - This has a hologram effect.

Last but not least:

                                      It's,  Snail Cat!

                    Possible hint about tomorrows post.        

He searches for designs (does not design these himself) but puts them into his printer and choses colors etc...then prints them out.  

               I love them but am running out of room!          

The Tradition Continues - First Day of Kindergarten

 Welcome. - Today Joelle (aka Jojo) started Kindergarten!  It's been my tradition to get School Pictures and these are the 2 best ones that I got of Jojo this morning before she headed off to school.

She also got a little gift from Grandma and Papa this morning which included a card:

Here's the fun part.  I made a card 16 years ago for her older sister's first day of Kindergarten:

It was fun to make Jojo a card similar yet different.

Also here is a side-by-side of the 2 Sister's on their first Day of Kindergarten:

Balloon Stampede 2026 - Post #2 (Part 1)

 Hello,  I'm back again with another post from the 2026 Balloon Stampede.

So not only are the balloons colorful but many of the trailers they are brought in on are just as colorful.

Shots of getting ready to inflate and the crowd.

Many colorful patterns

That's it for this post but there will be more to come....Enjoy.

It's Balloon Stampede Weekend - 50th Anniversary edition.

 Well it's Hot Air Balloon weekend here in Walla Walla, WA.

Sharing a few photos from today's launch.  - They weren't even sure if the balloons would go up due to winds. The Kids event, yesterday's launch and Night Glow were a (bust) but at least a few balloons went up today.  Maybe more tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

These were the first balloons I saw that had already drifted aways from our house.

This balloon will be featured again in another post.

I just had to share all the photos of the (Brain Balloon)!

Some of these went right past our house.  Some were shots taken as they rose above the trees from the park they were launched at.  

Below is an original shot of a picture I took and an edited version.

Now the edited version...

Let's face it this is a much prettier picture then the unedited version with the power lines and pole in the way.  Plus this one added in some cloud trails to compensate for where the power lines were.  

Most of my photos I tried to avoid the power lines but did include trees.

Another post will be coming with lots more balloon photos.  I hope you don't get bored seeing them.
