I’m glad your son survived and thrived! (Though before you confuse any Americans, I should probably point out that Labor Day is the equivalent of May Day on the continent, and celebrates workers.)

I love this! I don’t know if you’re open to suggestions (please stop reading if not!!), but I’m wondering if you could make the tentacles/claws/whatever free-standing, like the tentacles below your other pots? So they’re sort of reaching around it from behind.

The video is from my iPhone, which tends to dull out sunset colors. Here is a panorama from my camera. (Reposting the video without the sound. The running track around the reservoir is very crunchy.) #sunset #centralpark #newyork #fireinthesky #sundown #redskyatnight

The Blackwater that I grew up with (in Essex, Britain), you get a little more than muddy touching the bottom - very easy way to lose a shoe.

I didn’t think Watto was supposed to be evil, especially, just mercenary. Per Wiki, he had a son named Blatto. (Assuming we’re talking the same Watto.)

We saw that in person a couple of years back at the Met (it’s gone back since) - absolutely luminous - the frame was fabulous too.
