When LEGO announced they were releasing a set that was a ship model of The Endurance, it went right on the wish list, and my wife was kind enough to make a gift of it. Finally had time over the last few nights to put it together, and it's quite a set. I went down a Shackleton rabbit hole back when I first read Caroline Alexander's book "The Endurance" 27 years ago and saw the IMAX documentary a few years after that up at the Museum of Science. Frank Hurley's #photography certainly didn't hurt.

Harriers flying in formation. Northern Harriers, not the plane that got named after them. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #nature #masswildlife #halifax #massachusetts #wildmassachusetts #naturalmassachusetts #massachusettswildlife

Ah, New England. Just hit a pothole that shook the car enough that it turned my windshield wipers on.

Bookbinding project wrapped up (well, except for spending a bit more time in the press and drying, which will straighten up some the bit of waviness on the endpapers.) This was mostly an experiment in printing bookcloth (finicky, but possible), practice making "common made" endpapers, and doing a rounded Bradel binding (a technique for forming the body of the book and making the outer case/covers.) 1/2 #photography #bookbinding #homeartprojects
