These guys greeted me, too, when I visited the zoo several months ago. Sure are pretty.

You can "hear" the silence. Very restful.

My kids grew up with a neighbor's kids and the families became close friends. Their oldest girl grew and grew - over 6'5". When she moved into her own house, she complained that the low kitchen counters, being built for average people, made her back hurt when preparing food. So I built her this.
The butcher block legs and tops (two) are from hard rock Maple. The doors and drawer are booked-matched spalted Maple. The cabinet sides, back, and internal shelves are Maple plywood. The drawer parts are solid soft Maple.
Spalting occurs when cracks in a tree allow water incursion and fungus growth which stains, and sometimes rots, the internal wood.
Book-matching is a process of taking consecutive slabs cut from a tree and opening them up, edge to edge, so the two slabs are mirror images of each other and gluing them together.
The two tops are connected by 4 Maple posts with holes in the posts. The upper top can be raised or lowered by the repositioning of 4 black Walnut dowels to obtain the desired height. That way this "tall girl" can set it at a comfortable level.
The wheels were the girl's choice. The upper top has a Salad Bowl finish rather than a plasticized varnish to make it food safe.
The raw materials cost between $400 and $500 dollars, and the project took between 150 and 200 hours to complete. This driveway is where I move my equipment to make my projects.
Hope you enjoy it.

STILL, one of the greatest players to ever play with a ball and stick. Loved him.

Thank you. I will be checking my bags.
I'm also going to check the bags under my eyes to see if they are full of plastic.

I'm going to return the Kenko as soon as possible but I thought I'd post a few of my shots anyway, the first three with the teleconverter on and the last two without it.
Number 1 is a female African lion, 2 & 3 is a golden lion tamarin monkey, and 4 & 5 are otters. I welcome any and all comments! Thanks in advance. Gene

The last time I got to watch them in real life was about 1960. Amazing to watch.
