  14. Hurray for Christopher's basket! We have so much pride in our kids, don't we?

    I'm hanging around, trying to get to the myriad of chores I have put off forever. Christmas is looming with impending certainty and I can hardly procrastinate much longer. Have a good evening Trée.

  20. An awesome image and story - I would love to take a CAT scan of your brain tissue...imagine the enery patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Bonita, I'd be afraid to see the results of the scan. Somethings are best not known. :-)

    I do greatly appreciate your kind words. I think your energy is pretty good too. ;-)

    ReplyDelete

  25. Just checking in to sat hello and Happy Holidays. I finally broke down and bought my own domain so I won't be updating my usual blog anymore. Come visit my new place, I added a link to you.

    I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. *HUGS*

  27. Lysergia, welcome. I think you guys are doing some fantastic work with Apophysis. I say the same. Keep'em coming.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Dariana. Thanks for the new link. I tried to leave a comment but it told me the site was under construction. I'll check back later. Oh, and great pic of you with the Santa hat. :-)

    That might be my "second" favorite pic. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Thanks Karen. I had the time and a burst of creativity with an audience egging me on. I've got Christopher this weekend so my time on the blog is rather limited, but I'm itching to pick this story back up and run like a pampus being chased by a snortnose longhair boarik. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  30. with an audience egging me on

    ReplyDelete
  31. snortnose longhair boarik ROFL where do you come up with this stuff :0)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Trace, I have no idea where these ideas come from. I see an image in my mind and thoughts just come tumbling forward. One day I'd like to meet the entity responsible for all these thoughts. :-)

    Have a great Sunday dear. I think we are going to try and do a little xmas shopping today. I expect to be pummelled. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  33. I expect to be pummelled.
    LOL, try not to wear yourself out too much.

    have fun sweetie!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I loved the poignancy of the text in this one. Sometimes fewer words convey so much more...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thanks Melly. The last five posts were all created in a very short window along with the images. Many times I tend to use more words than are necessary. Thanks for the kind words and the wonderful reminder that less is often more. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Trée, u r doing great work. Keep it up. I was so inspired by this - just what we collapsable xmas trees people need.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  44. Sunshine, always good to see you post here. Been a very busy weekend and Monday. I hope to get back into the story as soon as I can catch my breath. I'm going through fractal creation withdrawal.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thanks Anu. Hope you are doing well over on the other side of the world. Your kind words are very much appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow! What a way to go. I'm not sure that's how I would want to end my way. The fractal kind of says it all. Whoa.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Liz, those scientists on Outpost 643 were not real happy with the slow response. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. looking at this one again (uploading into webshots)

    is it just me, or does anybody else see a lion like face on this one, I just noticed that when it was full size, wow, its great :0)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh no! Surrounded! Code Red! Last rites!
    (faint!)

    Ji Qong will surely find the way to avenge this....even if it means forgiveness.

    Thank goodness all the scientific logs were saved.

    Oh the poor poor Zaels.

    AWESOME fractal! Extremity. Animosity. Fear. I see it all.
