My wife’s hair is perfect for these, but I can only do the three strand.

Try a tutorial on you tube, if she’s patient, and wants the style.

I just like playing with her hair. I might try one of those tutorials.

Around here we tend to say French braid for both what they label the Dutch and French braids, usually asking whether they want it over or under. And most say “over”… Like the Dutch braid here.

I’ve never done the middle row… but there are other braids.

The one they call lace i just call diagonal, and usually do it on top, not underneath like that.

I wish I could think of the name of the wide one that hangs down the back… Very pretty.

Brides and bridesmaids sometimes get a crown braid, where all the hair is pulled up into a (hopefully) standing French braid around the top of the head like a crown or tiara, sometimes with a curl or two hanging down, if they have enough hair.

At Renaissance Faire I did some complicated styles, with braids looped and crisscrossed over hanging hair, and/or small buns, fairytale princess style. Mostly you have to make it up as you go, though you don’t admit it.

I’m not a great braider, but I do OK… Or at least I did. Not sure if my fingers are still up to it.

And I don’t like to wear them… I get a headache.

Two in a row I haven’t a clue on. (Three if you count my Three’s Company blooper!)

I am guessing it’s the cast of

SPOILER 1
Ally McBeal
for one reason and one reason only. The lady in the center of the photo is
SPOILER 2
Calista Flockhart,
its eponymous lead. I do not know the names of any of the rest of the cast, though several look familiar.

I recognized several of the actors at once and the show and went looking for the star.

Calling it AI: First, the trees next to the snake are never in sharp focus, even when near focused parts of the snake. Second, the vanishing point isn’t consistent; the size reduction from the foreground tail to the head is much less than from the head to the village..

Gotta wonder what they asked the AI for to get that result!

Long exposure because of the small aperture to get the whole snake in focus.
The snake doesn’t move, but the tree-branches do.

OK, found it on Google Earth. The background looks small because it’s down a significant distance below (and beyond) the snake. The long exposure Tigressy mentioned would explain the apparent lack of depth.

All I was thinking was that the space inside the snake must be functional, as it has doors, windows, and steps.

If I had a cat, I would have to consider summoning Fluffy and opening the window. A bad idea, no doubt, but it would stir things up for all involved. A little action, a little excitement, some adrenaline. And I would be laughing, as long as I had first closed all other means of access and egress to the room.

This could very well be the work of Eadweard.Muybridge, who did the famous, groundbreaking photo study of a horse in motion, and invented a circular viewer to animate it.

He did hundreds of photos of animals, including humans, in his series of motion studies.

Most of the people ones I’ve seen are nude, but I’ve by no means seen them all…. And this is about the right age, and is titled “Animal-Locomotion”, which is what he called his study.

The house in Kernville (the one above he river) is a no go. The title company found too many little oddities that the CU won’t be giving a loan on.
The GoFund me is still going.
I’m still going to need a house and septic inspection. And, what i thought was a fee, the title company will need ernest money. About what the goal i already set was.
I’m going to go look at a couple houses in Otis/Rose Lodge.
To make my life more miserable than it already is, i got to work this morning and my client wasn’t there. I call the hospital and they inform me that he is being sent back to the valley to a bigger hospital. Again.

One about the woman on the ship, the other about zircon.
