The Lawn Sentry anxiously peered into the mist, knowing that any moment could bring the sound of approaching doom.

Exactly Grimly.
The alert organic trike awaits the imminent arrival of something unknown. A suspenseful pregnant pause with a sense of foreboding.
When an image produces a response beyond an appreciation of its graphic and technical properties it enters the realm of art. I think.

I think all photography is Art. like all forms, it can be good or bad or in between, and some become epics. They all tell a story, (like art does), for those who take them, but like those 2 with the fog they conjure up feelings that appeal to our flight or fight response and that causes our imagination to run wild.......great pics. Inspiring

I haven't done any chip carving in awhile so the wife drew the roses then I carved and painted it.

So I live in a house owned by the church, and they literally built it like fifty years ago, and yeah, there was an intercom system.

It didn't work when I moved in, but there were receivers in each of the three bedrooms, plus one in the laundry room and one in the rec room.

I fiddled around with them a teeny bit but not very much, and I ended up removing all the hardware except the one in the kitchen.
I kind of plan on renovating the kitchen at some point, therefore I didn't bother removing the intercom thing. yet.

Woulda been cool to have it working.

Ah, nice woodworking .... and art work.

Nice looking wood(s).
Basswood for the carving artwork, beacuse of its light color, and/or maybe some characeristic for the carving ?
Carve with knife blade or rotating tool (dremel)?

Although Basswood is technically considered a hardwood, it is still fairly soft in that it allows for easy carving with hand tools.
