Took Ted for a walk and stopped by the lake and we saw a cormorant!

A cormorant sat on a rock eyeing up the world. My greyhound Ted with the cormorant out of focus in the background. The cormorant with its wings outstretched, drying after taking a dip in the lake. Another shot of the cormorant with its wings outstretched.

I did the big brave/stupid and took the two boys for a walk together by myself. Mercifully there wasn't a squirrel or a cat.
A picture showing two dogs each on a lead held in my right hand. One is my greyhound with his coat on, the other my parents alsatian.

Breaking news: it's wet out.
A slightly out of focus picture of myself wearing a black cap, grey hoodie and a saturated blue/orange raincoat making an unamused face as rain can be seen falling. My greyhound Ted, better resembling a drowned rat rather than a dog out for a walk. He's wearing a brown waterproof coat that closely matches his natural fur colour. Another picture of Ted, taken as we walk towards a railway bridge, rain can be seen rippling the surface water that covers the path

Took the dog for a walk along the front this evening 🌊

HE'S BACK!
A German tram driver in their uniform, a white male, late 50's, crew cut white hair, muscular, performing the splits and throwing dual shakas to the camera.

I've been slowly discovering all the walks local to me and have a new favourite, Ted seems to enjoy it too! They have some cool trail markers also...
An RSPB trail marker with a butterfly similar to that of the Bluesky logo. My greyhound Ted looking handsome, stood next to me kneeling, trying to look handsome. The walk follows the river under the tree canopy, small waterfalls are common along the trail.

And here's the rest of them. All the prints today I believe we're from Yasashii Kyojin studio and look Amazing. They offer some free stuff but I opted for their Patron to get some more variants and whatnot.

A 3d printed drake, imagine half dragon, half rhinoceros and you aren't too far off. A big scary boi. A 3d printed Behir, a 12 legged snake-like creature that in many TTRPG's is capable of expelling an electrical breath attack. Great if you're wearing heavy, conductive, metal armour! A 3d printed Basilisk, an 8 legged, spiky, reptilian looking guy who can poison or petrify those it chooses to attack. It's always good to have options. A wide shot of all the prints of today!

My first day of 3d printing ttrpg miniatures has been a huge success. Unfortunately for my players the coolest looking miniatures were also the baddest of the baddies. Good luck to them...

#ttrpg #3dprinting
A 3d printed aurumvorax, an 8 legged ferret type creature. Cute but horrifying. A 3d printed crag cat, essentially a sabre toothed cat. Yet again, cute but deadly. A 3d printed spider with its front legs raised, ready to strike. The big momma spider from the previous photo and her cute(?) little 3d printed babies.

A nice walk with the dog before work.

Also, I always find it amazing how much of these guys is pure... Floof? Is that the correct term?

My mum has been trying her hand at nature photography once again, this time the Great Grey Owl and the often spotted, rarely photographed Dad.

My dad is very proud of the photos he and my mum took of a sparrowhawk that has been frequenting their bird feeder for food. I don't blame him, they're great.
A male Eurasian Sparrowhawk perched at the edge of a patio step, curiously eyeing the camera. You can identify it as a male due to the blue/grey upperside and orange banding across the underside. The Sparrowhawk with a focussed, menacing look on their face. Another picture of the handsome Sparrowhawk. The Sparrowhawk directly facing the camera.

I'm honestly annoyed that I went to vote before seeing the BBC coverage of the pets at polling stations. Ted could have been famous.
A very good greyhound lying down after a walk. The same greyhound, his face in motion as he receives fuss.

I realise it would be useful for me to include a map of Astraria to better understand the geography of the place.

After fostering him for a few weeks, I've completed the adoption process, and now Ted has his forever home, and I have the chillest dog ever.

Something I'm having a lot of fun with currently is assembling a travel guide / lore book for my TTRPG project. I've found a load of really nice landscape paintings over on artvee.com which I'm using to represent areas of my setting and writing a little bit about each piece/location.

Hey TTRPG folk, a few years ago I came up with a 1-page game system which even now I often find myself inserting into other games. I find it's great for letting players have the chance to make their case for gaining advantage etc.

Check it out!
