Book Cover?
This is probably the book cover in its nearly final state- After another 4 hours of messing with the 3D world building software yesterday.

— This is before I added the title and my name to the right of the avatar/’model’ there. There is more green ground cover below where I cropped it here, if I can figure out how to cover her ‘gear-axe’ I might think about using more of that – I love her expression, and the final touch that made this look really good to me happened when I moved the bar to make it look like the sun was shining from the lower right hand corner off-camera here. That happens if you select the correct setting and set the time to after midnight.

— Saturday I went browsing and searching for a photo of what one of the main characters described as a ‘Stone Lake’ in the novel I started writing in 1987, picked up a couple times, might have tried to re-write from the beginning half a dozen times and got pretty far, um, this would be the third time. The latest working title would be “The Stone Lake Revelations”. Several acres of forest land were blasted away to reveal nearly flat rock. The farmer who discovered this thought it was done by what was described as a massive tornado that touched down there in a freak storm and tossed whole trees miles away. But, um, not to give anything away, that is not what happened….

Switserland?
I think this tweet from yesterday’s browsing is a photo of something somewhere in Switzerland, but I’m not 1,000% sure about that.

— I should add the not-quite-so-tightly-cropped photo here later, but for now —

Wolf Painting
My aunt Carol loves wolves, and here’s a painting of a wolf named ‘Carol’ – hmmmm —

— And –

"Imagine Peace Tower"
The Peace Tower is lit.

— I wonder what this looks like from space? [ Thank you, Yoko – ]

Cover Photo semi-cropped
And here’s the book cover screen shot after I cropped the directional schnarr away and before I cropped the axe out of the picture.

— This avatar is actually a builder character who’s been messed with using facial and body morphers and dressed up so she isn’t running around half naked.

— Happy Monday?
