Wow. I had not realised I'd not been on here since May last year. I am now much more active on https://bsky.app/profile/slartyb.bsky.social
In the mean time, here is a drawing I'm working on.

Oh .. my .. goodness! I wasn't expecting much, but the #aurora tonight was SPECTACULAR!! Could see the colours as well with my eyes, but they were definitely there. It filled half the sky!

Lucky toad.
I was digging in my garden and almost impaled this toad on my garden fork, then almost squashed it when I picked it up thinking it was a round pebble! Put it out of harms way and covered it with soil again. It then popped out one eye so it could keep a lookout.

And here is the egg amongst all its friends 😊
(The square, cube and teapot are not intrinsic shapes, but made up of triangles, or Bezier patches, which are)

OK. Now I have a curate's egg.
Why are some triangles OK, and some are not? It's the same code that generates both. Sigh ....

So I decided to add "egg" as an intrinsically supported object type to my ray tracing object description language and renderer. It seems I have work to do ... 🤣

White rabbits!

My solar system coffee table is all but finished. One more coat of Danish Oil, and it will be done.

#Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks last night.
A quick stack of 20 images with a total exposure time of only about 3 minutes. Then it disappeared into the trees.
