<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the issues that we encountered with our small flock is that they all wanted to use the same nesting box and were breaking eggs as a result...<br />A couple of articles suggested using a fake eggs in each box to fool the chickens into using the ones that were not currently in use. One fake egg in each box...<br />It works!<br />One small thing fixed an issue that seemed intractable...</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The new series of Carving Lessons on TheDancingGoats You Tube channel, illustrate the steps involved in Shallow Relief...Keep projects simple and use classic elements...A well executed simple project is always admired and appreciated. Lessons 1-6 are just about Shallow Relief work...and the boxes in the lessons are the primary place where shallow relief can be found in my work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The lessons were done during one very cold day in January and constitute a 12 hour day of carving.<br />One full day of carving time per box is usually my target...</span></div>

is not the Golden Hour as many go on about, but the golden 15 minutes at Sunrise
and Sunset that lay the foundation for stunning images...The Grail of capturing
Lemon, Orange and Purple in one lurid desert image is only possible during this
magical time...The Luminous Landscape will help with the logistics of this most
difficult assignment. Pre shot reconnaissance, sky chart and map drawings for
sun angles, sun rise and set times, test shots and a 3 day shooting window is
all that is required for that take home shot everyone will envy. LL will help
bring it home. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://pics-librarything.r.worldssl.net/pics/ss10.gif" /> )</span><br /><br />Look at any magical photo in print and chances are it was taken at Sunrise or Sunset.<br />The time of the Luminous Landscape...</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Nostepinne or Yarn Stick and a Tibetan Spindle are all the tools required to make a finished yarn...Great for demonstrating at Festivals. My Nostepinne has a 30-1 taper and that makes a tight ball of yarn very easy to remove </span></div>

Staring through enigma’s lens. Stand above Chaco Wash and look down on Pueblo Bonito… Stand on top of Chimney Rock, look at Huerfano Mesa, Dzil Na'oodilii to the Navajo & you are looking at the signaling station to let Chaco know of the great 19 year cycle of the Moon. Roads that run straight for hundreds of miles. Construction techniques identified without plausible conjecture as to how they were carried out. Fajada Butte's Great Calendar…Enigmas all…</div>
Craig knows what the archaeologists have forgotten. There were<br />
many more people in the Southwest than is widely acknowledged, time is deep and current<br />
explanations are too simple. Not hindered by the vicious politics of archaeological academia<br />
Craig asks questions that others dare not. His answers are neither political nor archaeological. <br />
They are sociological conjecture supported by compelling logic…<br />
The best one so far by the wild man of the desert… <span class="rating">( <img src="https://pics-librarything.r.worldssl.net/pics/ss10.gif" /> )</span><br />

Kivas Everywhere</div>
<br />
No wood within a hundred miles...No water...The wood from the wrecked buildings was used as firewood by the early archaeologists...Was the region around the great lunar observatory at Chimney Rock also the source of the thousands of logs for the Kiva's and Pueblo's? Once every 19 years the moon passes through Chimney Rock's the twin towers...<br />
A remarkable event...What changes did it trigger?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did it correlate with similar observations at the great lunar monitor on Fajada Butte?</div>
