Rune and Vela

For me, there is no other place to take the shot of Rune and Vela but at the magical Winter Region of Midwinter Calas. There are 4 sims and I can choose a sim with the least lag. The link is where you start, get important landmarks and tp out.

I chose the one nearest to the horse rezzer.

Here are Rune and Vela, the latest Xmas gifts from the generous ppl of Lelutka. I did not change a single thing except made Vela's head slightly smaller because it looked bigger than Rune. I didn't use the skins included.

I use ultra graphics and shared environment. I like how the shadows fell on them. Looks so romantic!

Everything they are wearing are from this Xmas Shop & Hop, old group gifts and hunts, and weekend sales. Sorry, I can't remember which ones, but hopefully, the list below will help.

Where the Bee Buzz

 

What the Buzz is on the Mainland in the Emyniad sim. It's an interactive bee reserve. It caught my eye because recently I read that waaaay back when, people didn't know that bees is a matriachal society and so they made up stories about the fierceless male leader and warriors of these bees. What the Buzz is also part of the DFS Community Garden.

And, since it's on the mainland, after walking further, I was in the next sim. In Durdane sim, I found the Eatonville Living Museum.

Home

 

No exploring today... just hanging out at home at the beach. Which is usually just an empty island except today. Because I wanted to take this picture.

Out for this Saturday Sale from DeetaleZ is this skin. I am a cheap skin hoarder and if it's cheap, I will be there to test it and if it fits the shape I am wearing, I will get it without hesitation.

Ok, this time, this skin is a bit complicated because it is freckled and even though I have the mixedtype body skin, it is an older version with no freckles and the freckled body that I have uses appliers.... You know, before BOM. So, now that it's back to BOM, the applier is useless. Fortunately and thank fully, some skin makers, like PUMEC, gives freckled BOM bodies so, I am using the PUMEC body freckles for the Maitreya body.

And, for the neck, I use Izzie's neck freckles.

The picture is on high graphics 700x700 and unedited. I use CAWL, but I also changed the position of the sun and the cloud and haze so that there would be some cloud in the background.

Hope that helps:)

Teacups

 

On one of my walking exploration, I happened upon the Corsica Tourist Center & Tea Garden 

I am taking a break from building and it's nice to go back to exploring and taking pictures. Some things I miss doing. 

Today I take a walk with my favorite Frenchie.

The most important rule when exploring is never to enter an empty house because some people are very particular about their things even if it's virtual. Some don't mind. But it's better to be safe than sorry. 

The pants I'm wearing are from Coco and they're old. I still love them and wear them often. The top is a group gift from Coco.

Sunday Lullaby

 

Sunday morning stroll with my pittie furbaby down Bella's Lullaby is quite therapeutic. Every where I look, I can almost feel the gentle breeze, neither hot nor cold and the colours are soothing to my eyes. It's like an opening scene of a romantic countryside movie.

Anyways, this single sim has loads of photogenic scenery.

DP YumYum's latest hairstyle was irresistable and you can get it at this month's Collarbor88. I also made this newest shape, Lulu with the big eyes!

Walking the trail

 

This time my visit was to a nature park, Mount Campion Caves National Forest. It's on the Mainland and it consists of 10 sims. You can even rent the houses there. When you land there, you can get an info notecard about the park. 

I didn't enter the caves because truthfully, I don't like scaring myself and caves are scary, dark and smelly spaces. And this time, my companion is a little King Charles Spaniel from Jian. I did spent an enormous amount of time trekking and I think I walked the same path a few times too.... lost obviously. Thankfully, I can just teleport home without a search party looking out for me.

In this spot where this picture was taken, if you're patient enough, you can even catch a glimpse of a fox running around, but it was too quick to catch for a picture.

Riding in the Country

One of the best thing about SL is that I can pretend I'm an expert rider. This pretty countryside stand alone sim called Deer River is an ideal place for horseback riding. 

You don't need your own horse. As soon as you land, you will see a horse and you can choose the kind of horse you want or the kind that will not get your avatar's legs into their belly. I tried a few until I got to Jigsaw. I think it's an Arabian. It's width is quite slim and my legs didn't get 'eaten'.

My companion today is my furbaby Countryside Collies Pup from Jian. We're wearing matching outfit.

Waiting for the bus

 

Here is another trip to a place I've never been. A place in Italy which I found from the SL destination guide. The countryside was more picturesque than the town and there was even a bus ride out to the other nearby sims!

My companion is the big blue Great Dane from Jian coz it's never a good idea to walk alone in a strange place. 

For this picture, I am using Nacon's Sweet Morning Windlight. I use the medium setting, so there are no shadows, but on the upside, it's not painful on my computer and somehow, the picture seemed clearer to me.

4 pink girls at Bodega Bay.
 

These puppies are from Jian and HEXtraordinary, and since Moon was wearing pink also, I decided to visit a place I've never been before and take some pictures.

New Shapes Part2

 I am so pleased that more skin designers are joining the weekend sales. Because that's where I can get very affordable skins before they go back to their original prices. And I can play with shapes. Face shapes that is. 

Here are some of the shapes I have tweaked with skins from designers IVES, Lueur Beauty and PUMEC. They have the same kind of neck fades which blend down into the body shades which helps with people like me who doesn't have the budget to spent on body apps. 

Above are Lelutka Mesh Heads Fleur3.1, Lake3.1, Ryn3.1 and Erin3.1.

Please check them out on the Marketplace under Avatar Components. Each shape is 50L. There is no demo.

Other than the houses... the shape tweaking

When the creative ideas run thin in SL, I would go exploring or start tweaking with my avatar's shape and these are some of the EvoX shapes I thought was good enough for the Marketplace.

These are heads for Fleur3.1, Ryn3.1, Erin3.1 and Lilly3.1. I haven't gotten around to Lake3.1 because that's my personal shape, but I will get to it! I only do the faces, so the bodies are my personal shape and if you like it, all the better. They are slim and medium size.

Please check them out on the Marketplace under Avatar Components. Each shape is 50L. There is no demo.
