300 - Morning with the candy corn mohawk

Dim Sum wonders if the parrot's candy-corn mohawk was edible too.


I think this is my favorite of the set. I'm using some vignette effects on this set and it's just right for the mood I'm going for.

I thought it would be difficult to find interesting shadows in this sim, because it's mostly a "cultivated" garden and some buildings. But the shadows created by the greenhouse panes are beautiful.

If I had a greenhouse like this in real life, I'd be spending all my mornings there.

299 - Caged bird in the greenhouse

Dim Sum is overwhelmed by all the birds in the greenhouse. Oh, what a torture to have to decide which one to chase!


Absolutely gorgeous greenhouse! I love the structure itself. The plants are gorgeous. The birds are beautiful and not too overwhelming.

A long time ago, one of my friends at work admired the nice big plant I had at my office window. It had big broad leaves and white leaf-like flowers.

She asked, "What do you call it?"

Suddenly, I panicked. I had given my car a name years prior, because a neighbor called her truck "Betsy". I wondered if there was some custom about naming plants too. So, I blurted the first name that came to mind, "Claudia."

I think my friend wanted to smack me then and there. She meant the name of that plant species. :D

It was a peace lily.

Anyway, that broad-leafed plant just behind the cage is a peace lily. The materials on that leaf makes it look so realistic, except I thought it was a banana leaf at first.

298 - Fountain at the crossroads

Dim Sum listens to all the flowing water and imagines all the negative ions floating about.


Difficult to light. I could have used a more dramatic windlight if it weren't for the full bright plants. Then I had to derez the flying parrots because they were also full bright and flat. They might have looked good on a machinima because of the movement, but not for a still photo.

297 - Scrying the crystal ball

Dim Sum sees her future in the large crystal ball... or was that bird poop?


Of today's set, this one has a different windlight, simply because the subject required it. The angle kinda distorted the angel's body. And I lost her head! I swear it's in there somewhere....
