Continuing with the pumpkin themed flower photography, here's Lion's Tail serving up a messy helping of pumpkin colored flowers. Haven't quite worked out how best to photograph this beast of a flower, but fortunately he's doing quite well in the garden, so we'll have him for a while to serve up more photographs.

Tsukasa Shishio (Dr. Stone)

Name: Tsukasa Shishio

Series: Dr. Stone

Gender: Male

Status: Alive

Family: None as of Now

Flower Motif: Lion’s Tail (Leonotis leonurus)

Flower Meaning: Fearlessness

Weapon of Choice: Spear

Associated With: Interdimensional Hero Club

Hero Form Appearance: A combination between a wild hunter’s gear and YuYuYu’s Hero Form outfits. The undersuit of the outfit is a rich, deep, blue so the orange can contrast perfectly against it. Meanwhile, the accent colors include gold, silver, crimson, red, cream, white, black, and gray- all of which enhance the outfit rather than overpower it. The boots, belt, gloves, and Tsukasa’s cape (Which remains unchanged) all have patterns of the Lion’s Tail, and the only other accessory that he has on? A Lion’s tail flower hairclip. The flower’s petal shape can be seen in the tailcoat, sleeves, and collar.

Full Bloom Gauge Location: Stomach

Guardian: Bunyon (Based on the Bunyip)

Favorite Food: Soba Noodles

Parallel To: None

Bio: Tsukasa’s goal is to thin out the human population to create a new world without modern technology, saying that adults and how humanity evolved caused them to become evil. Despite his claims that no threat would come after Senku and Taiju, which proved ironic, Tsukasa became one of the biggest obstacles to Senku's Kingdom of Science and restoring humanity as a whole in general.

14 au 20 mars 2022

This photo sums up the week nicely - a lot of raking. I’m not convinced that I won’t go over it again with a motoculture to try to get a better tilth and rake it all over again. It needs to be sown by Wednesday next week. I also did more pruning and weeding. I also did some much needed editing of overly successful planting. My left arm is still hurting quite a bit though this needs to be done.

Thursday the first peony bloomed.

Friday, on my walk to my masseur, I came across this building in Antibes. I’d love to see what’s behind that blue door and how this tiny space is used.

My amazing masseur also does cupping therapy which pulls blood into muscles. The darker the circles afterwards, and how quickly they disappear, indicates how much they need it. It feels like I’m a marionette when all those suction cups are pulling my skin.

Alek, my predecessor, and his girlfriend Monica flew in from Barcelona Friday and we met up in Antibes after my massage. We invited Sarah-Jane and Kahlil down for apéros. Monica made a delicious pasta dinner.

Saturday morning we headed to Cap d’Antibes and jumped into the sea. It was bitterly cold. Alek showed me some interesting plants that I had previous not seen, as I usually come from the opposite direction, so they were behind me. There is a botanic garden at the top of the escarpment, so this Cyclamen persicum (?) may have escaped from there.

After the swim, we treated ourselves to some delicious pastries then did a bit of shopping before returning to the domaine. Alek prepared a delicious minestrone soup for lunch. We then did a tour of the garden. Alek approved of how I’ve been caring for it, which was a nice complement and a huge relief.

In the evening we headed to Bar-sur-Loup for dinner at Helena and James’ new place. Alejandro returned from Uruguay earlier in the day, and Vincent joined us too. It was a fun evening.

Sunday, after breakfast, we went on a nice long circular hike from Bar-sur-Loup to Gourdon and continued around, back to the house. It was so nice to be able to walk out their front door and just go on a really nice hike. We followed the Chemin du Paradis for a lot of the way.

We spent most of the day on the hike. It was a really nice way to spend a day with friends.
