Holidays & Intermission

Hello Sweet Souls,
This weekend, Hubby & I were on holiday from our RL jobs, which gave us plenty of quality time together.
We took full advantage of it and stayed on our own sim and played, talked and landscaped.
Bombshie Clothing sent a cute swimsuit out to the bloggers, and it fit right in with the beach Hubby made.
Nothing shiny this post, Just Us… kinda on Intermission.
We snapped a few pics and set them to simple words…

Ahhh…
Holidays and Sun…
Waves, and Ocean Breezes.
Salt in the air, to the nose it pleases.

Empty Beach, Our own Escape.
Bills & Traffic We needed a break!

Sunrise, Sunsets, Hugs and Kisses.
Delightful Convo with Ears that listen.

Spending time with the ones we love,
Maintaining Bonds that fit like a glove…

Sun kissed Skin, Warm to touch…
The sounds of surf lapping,
& Sweet Fruit for lunch.

Looking up, I see clouds on blue,
Can you see the animal shapes too?

Watching Birds with wind beneath wings.
Ode to Summer and the release it brings.

Thanks always for stopping by, We love sharing our SL as we see it.

SL Destinations: Historic Replicas by ASU

Welcome All!
Revan here :), The Wife and I were feeling a bit Rockabilly Retro today, So I searched for a sim to fit our mood.
I came across a true Gem., The Arkansas State University had 2 sims that fit our theme perfectly.

What a VAST destination! We got more than we expected. There are actually 6 sims Total owned by ASU., 2 campus, including an
orientaion area with Art Gallery, 3 historic recreations by Painter Meriman and 1 set aside as a Leisure sim with Beach.

The Regions have MANY points of interest, Too numerous to cover all in one post,

But We will highlight the spots we found enjoyable.

You may begin at ASU’s Virtual Campus Start point.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20Campus/160/96/24

Here you will find unusual Art Exhibits and Interactive galleries.
Be sure to Transport to each area in the Art Building via the large banner flags in front.
We had a great time on the turtle ride touring a giant Aquarium!

 

Fascinating Historic Information with RL Pics can be seen at The Southern Tenant Farmer’s Museum which highlights the work
of John L. Handcox.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20Heritage/136/61/25

John L. Handcox (1904-1992); was a Great Depression-era tenant farmer and union advocate from Arkansas renowned for his
politically charged songs and poetry.

This place is AMAZING!, They have even replicated Ernest Hemingway’s Studio.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20Heritage/49/138/22

During the 1930s A barn was converted into a studio to give Hemingway privacy for writing.
Portions of one of his most famous novels, A Farewell to Arms, and several short stories were written in this studio.

Moving along, We came across Country Music Singer Johnny Cash’s boyhood home in Dyess Circle.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Dyess%20Colony/136/102/23

This is a recreation of The Cash family home in Dyess Arkansas as it was during the 1940s.

Check out the the rest of this town. There’s a Pop-shop, Cinema, & other colony display homes here, It’s like a step back
in time.

Something I found interesting was that The University actually owns Mr.Cash’s childhood home & The Dyess Circle Community;
Read about it here => http://arkansasheritagesites.astate.edu/AHS/Dyess.html

 Exploring a bit more we come across a piece of Antique Southern Beauty.

A scale model of The Lakeport Plantation House in Lake Village, Arkansas.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20HeritageS/249/121/22

This palatial estate is One of Arkansas’ premiere historic structures.
Lakeport is the only remaining Arkansas plantation home set on the Mississippi River.
It was built in 1859 for Lycurgus and Lydia Taylor Johnson, Who were part of a political dynasty that extended from
Virginia to Kentucky to Arkansas.

Jump on the Horse & Carriage awaiting you for a tour around the estate with cotton fields.

Opposite of The Lakeport Mansion are tour boats and rafts.
The Raft will take you to the tragic sunken town of Napoleon.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20HeritageS/132/137/24

Just stand up when destination reaches its point and walk off the pier to find this RL Historic replica underwater.
There are plenty of signs around to tell you the story of what happened and when.

If You take the row Boat, You will then tour a serene swamp, great for photos.

There is also a wooden shack complete with rocking chairs on the porch to hang out.

 
I hope you enjoy this fantastic region as we did, It is chocked full of food for thought.
I wish You a GREAT time until we read again!

Knock on Wood is a tiny inlet filled with Pretty vegetation, mist, benches, and cozy nooks.

Pose balls are littered throughout this mini forest, look up, some are even in the trees.

Ride in the boat that encircles the island, Play a game of logs with a friend…

Or pose on the elephant and say cheese 🙂

Don’t be alarmed of the strange clicking sounds and a glimpse of alien like ghosts…

As you wander through this water marsh you will be followed by tiny Kodama, which are Japanese tree spirits.

They are harmless and love for you to click on their heads…try it 😉

the Moomins.

The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and comic strip by Swedish-Finn illustrator and writer Tove
Jansson. They are a family of fairy tale characters, who are white, roundish, & with large snouts that resemble hippos.

Although small, This destination has many more places to see and explore.

SL Destinations: *Aioku* Plages des Graniers

In Spring’s Nocturnal Tranquility,
The air scented with Ardor…

A Ronin (Samurai) did delight a Ojo (Princess) with sweet words of amor.

On this night He professed with Heart, Soul, & devout admiration,
“You make my heart melt with just one look,
It was Your kindness, Your grace, that was the inspiration.”

She did Blush. She did give a demure giggle.

“My Dear Ronin, Please lean in a little.”
“I have something to confide”…
“I have something to confess, truly I do!”

“Yes?”. He leaned in…, “Yes?”

She whispered gently into the air
…”I love You too”

SL Destinations: The 9 Art Planets

Welcome  All!,

Here’s a post for the explorers in Secondlife, Pointing you towards a place that is fun, bright and interactive.
The Artist in spotlight today is Betty Tureauds, And her Art Installation called, “The 9 Art Planets”.

This creation is multilayered in 9 levels, with orignal music by Ultraviolet Alter.
The only way to navigate this piece is to use the tp HUD provided when you land, & turn on the audio to enhance the experience.

The landing area starts off the fun. The sound of a Geiger is heard with a Mysterious Door in the background.

Go over to it and be surprised each time you attempt to open it, It can be Hilarious LOL.

All the levels have some type of interaction or made very stimulating to the eye.

The aim is to induce an emotional response based on colour, light, sound, music and interaction.

Hubby and I had a great time, Floating, dancing, setting off a GIANT Kaliedoscope, solving puzzles, and watching trippy videos here.

Explore alone or Grab a group, You are bound to enjoy yourself.

Thanks for looking, and Happy Exploring!

Exploring Snowville

Happy Holidays Everyone!,

I wanted to tell you about Snowville, another creative idea by PotPourri Markets.

I love all their themes, I always make it here for each new one and utilize the scene for some great pics.

The Winter village is adorable!, and the lights and animations will have you in a festive mood, ready to celebrate everything beautiful about the season.

I explored every inch venturing up the hillsides and into the mountain area, where I saw Santa’s workshop and Santa’s boot.

He was inside with PLENTY of gifts ready for you to click click click away!

The presents were from stores I am familiar with such as, BlowUp, SyS, LilLou’s, Gallery Isolite, SucreFairy, Isis, Le Forme and more.

I giggled like a lil school girl at the animations Santa had, too hilarious as I jumped around in his lap or going Woooo! with a leg kicked up LOL!

Make your way down to Snowville, Its a gorgeous place to spend with a friend or two and snap some great pics and get some awesome shopping done.

Creative in Black & White

Hiya,

It’s just me on one of my Sim hopping adventures. I came across a unusual sim called “Cica”.

The entire place is hand drawn in black on a stark white background.

It has a whole community with stick figure people included, They’re Moving about, Playing, Feeding the birds.

There are Houses, Park Benches, Swings, Flower patches, a River with jumping fish & more.

The Bird feeder looked so bored and sad feeding the birds until I walked over and then he smiled!

This is what I love about Secondlife, The grids are filled with endless expression and fantasy.

This sim  was definitely full of whimsy wonder, especially the rainy hill.

It reminded me of an old RnB song called “Rain”,  sung by the female trio SWV (Sistas with Voices).

 http://youtu.be/O3fAm6RamOw

Stop by the sim, maybe it will inspire some creative snapshots for you, Or just hangout and enjoy the peace.
