Guitars and Flowers

I've been relaxing, from time to time, getting away from the baleful job of reading about Islam, and have become a Luthier: a builder of stringed instruments, in my case electric guitars.   Here's my first one, a Les Paul style, but with headstock somewhat influenced by Fender.
And then walking out in the garden and our surrounding 40 acres of park, to smell the flowers, commune with the butterflies, note that we have a nesting Chinese red-vented Bulbul in our palm-fringed bamboo and just now a nesting Magpie Robin in our magnolia bush, has given her babies flight.
And that relaxes the mind, brings a big breath of cleansing air into the neurons.
