Avatar/Atrus-Raewyn

My primary avatar, Raewyn (pronounced "rain"). She lived in Flea's Neighborhood (1) in the Atrus shard.

KI number 01234122

Avatar/Katran-Lucius

My other avatar, Lucius. He ran around in the Katran shard.

I purposefully tried to make him look like James Mason.

Avatar/Katran-Lucius 2

My profile of Lucius. I loved that pith helmet.

The male avatars had such baby-faces that I aged Lucius as much as I could. I thought that the round glasses gave him a retro '30s look.

Bug-Above My Relto

This was an odd bug that made me hover above my Relto when I linked to it. I'd hover for a couple of seconds, and then fall through the ground into nothingness. Always had to link again.

A bug in live made me see myself looking at myself as I looked through the scope in Teledahn. I took this shot and the next one before moving my cursor. Once I moved the cursor, things went back to normal. I never saw this bug again.

Bug-Teledahn scope 2

This is the second screen capture of that odd bug in Teledahn.

Easter Egg- /get feathers

Most Uru Live explorers already know this, but the newbies don't.

The Eder Gira feathers easter egg: "You pick up a feather and put it in your pocket. I know you didn't see yourself do that... trust me, you have a feather in your pocket." If you typed "/get feather" anywhere else, this is the message you received: "There are no feathers here." If you typed anything else, such as "/get penguin," this is the message you received: "The penguin is too heavy to lift. Maybe you should stick to feathers."

My s. o. said these quotes referred to a very old came called "Adventure." I've never heard of it.

Eder_kemo_garden_bluets

I'm in the process of creating my own Eder Kemo garden. I'm moving bamboo that already grows on the property to a corner so it looks like the Garden Age. Remember those little blue flowers in the Cleft? They're called "bluets." They grow east of the Mississippi, and they are blooming right now in the early Spring (May 14 in Massachusetts). I went out to the cliffs overlooking the ocean and took some photos of them. I transplanted some to pots to see if they'd take.

Eder_kemo_garden_bluets2

Here is another shot of the bluets on the cliffs near my home. It's almosts like being in the Cleft with Anna and Atrus.

Eder_kemo_garden_bluets3

More bluets, between the rocks.

Eder_kemo_garden_headlands3

Here is the cliff where the bluets grow. On the horizon you can see the Atlantic Ocean.

Eder_kemo_garden_primrose

When I went to a garden nursery over the weekend, I ran across a new variety of perennial primrose that looks very much like the Cleft bluets. It's called "Tie Die," and it's very pretty. This primrose will come back every year, unlike the annual variety you usually see at the stores. I'm going to find more and plant them.

Egg_Room-exit door

A shot of the Egg Room after a balcony jump. This is the door that leads into the 'hood.

Egg_Room-hallway

Another shot of the Egg Room after a balcony jump. The floor was cracked.

Egg_Room-inside

Another shot of the inside of one of the alcoves. I was hovering above the floor because I dropped into the Egg Room after a balcony jump.

Egg_Room-interior door

A shot of the Egg Room after a balcony jump. This was before explorers were officially allowed into that room. The blue fire crystal doorknobs on the inside of those doors would become smaller and then disappear as a team of five people played with the doors in the rooms. We did not have enough time to figure out the puzzle before Live shut down. I suspect the egg in the room was supposed to open. After all, as Zandi said, "the gathered will tell the path of the shell..."

Egg_Room-the egg

One shot of the egg. Being alone in one of those rooms was like being inside a chapel.

Egg_Room-vista

After yet another successful balcony jump and walk around the Egg Room before it had officially opened, I took this interesting shot of my 'hood. You can see how deeply it sits in the cavern.

Egg_Room-vista 2

Lots of people took pictures of the inside of the Egg Room after jumping the balcony, but no one took pictures of Ae'Gura. The view hovering above the Egg Room gave me a couple of very nice shots. I like this panorama taken of my 'hood from above the Egg Room best of the two I had taken. This shot was taken before explorers were officially allowed in the Egg Room.

Egg_Room-with marker

A shot of the Egg Room, including a Great Zero marker. I suppose with so many Live and Prime explorers jumping the balcony and getting into that Egg Room, the DRC had no choice but to finally open it to the public. ;)

Goodbye-D'ni_clock

I never did figure out how to tell time with this thing...

Goodbye-explorers

We're actually chatting a lot, but you'd never know from the way we seem to be just standing around doing nothing.

Goodbye-explorers_2

On the last day. That's me (Raewyn) in the middle.

Goodbye-explorers_3

Another shot of me and a few explorers a few hours before midnight EST.

Goodbye-Hogarth's Rogue's Gallery

This shot is from Hogarth's Rogue's Gallery, his wonderful photos that are available in the Uru Forums. He took this shot in the Uru Obsession 'hood. I'm the cute one in highland sweater and jeans on the far right. ;)

Goodbye-Hogarth's Rogue's Gallery 2

Another shot from Hogarth's Rogue's Gallery, available in the Uru Forums.

I don't know who the woman is who is dancing next to me. I thought we looked cute. Hogarth thought we looked crazed. He may be right.

Goodbye-Hogarth, Kirsehn, and Jon

Another shot of Hogarth, Kirsehn, and Jon on the last day in Live.

Goodbye-Hogarth, Kirsehn, and Jon 2

Hogarth, Kirsehn, and Jon on the last day in Live.

Goodbye-my note

My goodbye note to my 'hood the day Live ended.

Goodbye-Raewyn, Essjay, and Hermine

Me, Essjay, and Hermine

Goodbye-Safety_First

Another Safety First group shot.

Goodbye-Safety_First_2

Hanging out in the Safety First 'hood earlier in the day.

Goodbye-Safety_First_3

Say "Yeesha!!"

(Safety First 'hood)

Goodbye-Uru_Obsession

More explorers in the Uru Obsession 'hood talking about Live and what is to come.

Goodbye-Uru_Obsession_2

In the Uru Obsession 'hood closing in on midnight. That's me in the middle. This hood was packed with over 70 people within the last hour. As Live ended, all of us said goodbye, played in the fountain, and danced.

Holiday-Happy_New_Year (KI)

The Happy New Year banner in my 'hood, Flea's Neighborhood. This image was from my KI.

Holiday-Me in my Santa hat

Hogarth took this on the last day. He liked the Santa hats. If you around on or about Christmas day, you found a cute little Santa hat in your closet. They were painted red, but you could change the color. I liked mine in white or gray after the holiday ended. I waved this time. I didn't want to look like a frenetic grasshopper when I danced.

This is another shot that may be found in Hogarth's Rogue's Gallery, available in the Uru Forums.
