Valentines Day is just around the corner so I thought I should jump into the spirit with some Valentine love for everyone. I don’t have a honey, yes that would mean I am single, so I don’t have anyone’s heart to carve out…erm… I mean I don’t have anyone to cut out hearts for. ::: giggles :::

Here are a few Valentine’ee pictures in such…

Chad Savage has done some awesome Valentine art. They are available over on his Etsy Shop.

Happy Phantom over on Flickr captured this photo in a cemetery. If I saw this thing with a little bow and arrow… I would run, I would run really fast.

I am amazed by cakes now-a-days. I don’t mean the typical, Happy Birthday Joey cakes, no… I mean these designer cakes that are shapes put together with colors that amaze. It seems they can do almost anything with cake, buttercream and a bunch of other stuff I will probably never use in the kitchen…including my airbrush, at least I won’t be using it with my food, heh.

ZOMBIES! over on Facebook posted a post showing a picture of a zombie cake, I had to follow the link, and what I found just tickled me. Threadless.com and Chris Cardinal had an online cake contest called ThreadCakes. You have got to go over and check these cakes out… amazement…sheer amazement. The designs for the cakes are based off of Threadless t-shirt designs…it’s part of the rules.

Here are a few that grabbed me by the eyeballs. If you click on the pictures of the cakes the link will take you to its entry and all of the ingredients plus the photos of progression.

I wish I were here is the name of the original t-shirt design. Obvious that the devil wanted to make snow angels…

Now check out the cake…

The next one is called The Red and here is the original t-shirt design:

Now for the cake, ::: giggles ::: …it’s awesome!!

The last I will show you is Zombie Nomz, here is the original t-shirt design:

…and now the awesome’ness that is the cake…

Picture walking along the tree line, just under the overhanging canopy. The daylight makes you feel safe and the fog wraps around you. As darkness falls so do the things that go bump in the night…

Who do you think this tree is reaching for. If it was night I wouldn’t want to find out.

I know I have mentioned this before, but it’s always worth mentioning… I love spooky tree’s. My first spooky tree love started when I was a child living in Alabama. My grandmother had a HUGE pecan tree in her front yard. Now maybe the tree seemed huge because I was small, either way… it was my tree. I played beneath it, ate it’s pecan’s, gazed up into it’s branches.
In the early 90’s a Tornado came through and took it away. When my family called to tell us about the damage to the property, we had been in Alaska since 77′, the first question I asked was “Did the tree make it?” She didn’t, all I could do was cry.

I don’t have any pictures of that wonderful tree, but I am going to ask mom to look for some since she is down in Alabama helping her sick brother, sister and brother in law.

This is the closest picture I have found so far:

I found the picture on this website.

I don’t believe this next tree is a Pecan but no matter the species…its awesome! Found the pic on this website.

I ran across this artist in rather a round about way. I have the website Crappy Taxidermy setup in my Google Reader feed and one of his pieces showed up as a post. I attached that post to the above Crappy Taxidermy link.

Here is Chompy a Martian Botanical Device - This specific preservation device contains a juvenile “carnivorus muscipula” a flesh eating plant which can grow to 20 feet in height. At this size they draw their nutrients from the soil, which is kept rich by the device. If kept in a controlled environment the plant will never need feeding flesh as a form of sustenance.

A vacuum exists between the plant and the outside world, controlled and maintained by the complex filtration system which draws air in, adding and subtracting the necessary components. The small glass fronted charts display the key biological information regarding this specimen. A self contained ecosystem… More

19th century anatomical study cabinet No.1 – 1915: Bought in an estate clearance, with no apparent name attached, the esteemed Dr. Merrylin traced the small inscription at the base of one of the specimens to the royal college of surgeons, where one Thadeus Belacleese had once worked and taught. He was also the chief physician to the Queen of England, until his private work was discovered and shunned…More
