A lot of places are named after historical events, battles, and people, so keep that in mind. God/Goddess names tied to your world also work well. Places are also often named after things that the area is known for, like Georgia being known for its peaches.

My brain was fried by the end of this so feel free to add more!

I hope you find this reference helpful and good luck world-building!

Tom Ford Quick Takes

Tom Ford is an easy perfume house to hate. They charge way too much for their fragrances, they advertise a crass, frat-boy image, and they’re responsible for the single worst-smelling perfume I’ve yet encountered, Black Orchid. 

But the Private Blend line of upscale fragrances includes some gems.

Neroli Portofino

Notes: bergamot, mandarin, lemon, bitter orange, myrtle, rosemary, lavender; neroli, orange blossom, jasmine, pittosporum; amber, ambrette, angelica

This is a cologne, very close to the classic 4711, but more intensely floral -- I get juicy orange, swooning orange blossom, and spacious, radiant neroli. Bright and powerful. <3

Mandarino di Amalfi

Notes: tarragon, mint, blackcurrant, grapefruit, lemon, basil; orange blossom, clary sage, shiso, jasmine, black pepper, coriander; vetiver, amber, labdanum, musk, civet

This is also a bracing, citrusy cologne, but cooler, drier, more herbal and less floral than Neroli Portofino. There’s a metallic, crystalline chill to it, which may be from the clary sage and/or mint.  

Fleur de Portofino

Notes: Bergamot, lemon, tangerine, petitgrain, violet leaf, syringa; osmanthus, black locust, magnolia, orange blossom, rose, jasmine; honey, labdanum, vanilla, tolu balsam, ambrette, civet

This is brightly fruity, and smells vividly of cantaloupe melon to me. Not the watery calone “melon” note, or the green-juicy melon in Diorella, but a sweet, orange-pink, musky melon. It might be an illusion created by osmanthus (a flower with an apricot-like scent) in combination with tangerine.  Behind the fruit, there are honeyed white flowers. It’s like eating a fruit salad on a rooftop terrace overlooking the sea.  Charming, but maybe a little juvenile.

Sole di Positano

Notes: Mandarin, lemon, bergamot, bitter orange, petitgrain; orange blossom, neroli, shiso, jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley; oakmoss

This smells lemony, delicate, and rather dark and somber, like antique bric-a-brac.

Costa Azzurra

Notes: driftwood, seaweed, oud, ambrette, celery seeds, cardamom; lemon, lavender, juniper, mandarin, wormwood, myrtle; oak, incense, mastic, frankincense, vanilla

This is powerfully herbal and astringent and I love it. It’s a potent, refreshing, bitter tonic. I’m probably getting the juniper/wormwood/myrtle combination the strongest. Juniper, here, is fragrant evergreen needles, not a gin note. Overall this smells like evergreen shrubs and bitter herbs against a dazzling blue sky.

Fougere D’Argent

Notes: mandarin, lavender, ginger; labdanum, akigalawood; tonka

This is a style of men’s perfume I find obnoxious; creamy-fatty-sweet tonka over a masculine lavender/coumarin fougere chord and a faintly animalic base. It’s louche and smug and kinda gross.

Fougere Platine

Notes: clary sage, bergamot, lavender, basil; wormwood, frankincense, labdanum, honey; tobacco, cedar, woody notes

The clary sage really comes out here and smells almost like tinfoil. Cruelly metallic. There’s also dark bitter tobacco.

Beau du Jour

Notes: lavender; rosemary, geranium, mint, oakmoss, basil; patchouli, amber

Wow. This is beautiful, in a way that’s very difficult to express.  Serious, dark, reverent, almost scholarly. My notes say “Indian?” and I’m not sure what that is, though another blogger smells cardamom and saffron.  Apparently it’s a throwback to 80′s men’s scents like Zino or YSL Rive Gauche pour Homme.

Jasmin Rouge

Notes: cinnamon, ginger, bergamot, cardamom, pepper, orange; jasmine, ylang-ylang, neroli, broom, clary sage; amber, vanilla, woods, leather, labdanum

This just smells like jasmine. Exactly like the jasmine flowers on my street. Lovely, realistic, rather mild-mannered.  Nothing “rouge” about it.

Cafe Rose

Notes: rose, saffron, black pepper; coffee; incense, amber, sandalwood, patchouli

This is a tea rose: dewy, fresh, and old-fashioned. Resting on a dusty, woody, faintly-smoky, faded base; there’s also something ambery-fruity going on. And maybe even some green notes. Lots of complexity, but all in a very muted key. No coffee.

Vert Boheme

Notes: galbanum, magnolia, violet leaf, honeysuckle, woods, mandarin

This is a plant. A shiny, dark-green, waxy, chlorophyll-rich leaf, like a rubber tree plant.  I’m guessing it’s the violet leaf. Apparently this is a reboot of vintage Cristalle. I’ve rarely met an intensely leafy fragrance I didn’t like; I feel very marketed to.

Vert D’Encens

Notes: resin, pine, incense, fir, boxwood, heliotrope, woods

The heliotrope predominates and smells overwhelmingly of Play-Doh. Behind it, there’s sweet rot. Not good.

White Suede

Notes: thyme, green tea; lily of the valley, saffron, rose; suede, musk, sandalwood, amber, frankincense

This is fascinating in that it doesn’t smell like a perfume at all. It smells like an art supply store. Wholly artificial, with a strange paint-like, choking effect -- not sure how else to say it, but it’s totally “flat”, with no depth. I wouldn’t call it pretty, but if you want an extremely minimalist and impersonal effect, it does that.

Tuscan Leather

Notes: raspberry, saffron, thyme; frankincense, jasmine; leather, suede, woods, amber

Fruity, stinky, piney, bonfire-y leather.  Almost like a fruit liqueur juxtaposed with smoke and leather. Very striking and new (to me) combination of notes; nothing at all like the other leather perfumes I’ve smelled.  Bold and legible to the point of being almost vulgar, but in a good way.

Soleil Blanc

Notes: pistachio, bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper; ylang-ylang, tuberose, jasmine; coconut, amber, tonka, benzoin

Suntan lotion.

Noir de Noir

Notes: rose, patchouli, black truffle, vanilla, oud, saffron, oakmoss

This actually smells “dark.” Alcoholic, bittersweet. I didn’t recognize it as “rosy” at all; it’s just a potent, narcotic, inky essence.

Champaca Absolute

Notes: cognac, bergamot, dyer’s greenweed; champaca, orchid, violet, jasmine; tolu balsam, vanilla, sandalwood, amber

There’s a fruity element to champaca, which is otherwise a creamy-golden tropical “white floral”. The effect is lush yet peaceful and delicate. The boozy opening note smells more like plum wine to me.  

Plum Japonais

Notes: cinnamon, saffron; plum, immortelle, camellia, liquor, cypress; oud, amber, fir, benzoin, vanilla

My initial thought was “this is like Lutens” -- sweet, spicy, and ominous, full of cinnamon-stewed-plum richness. According to the internet, it’s an inferior ripoff of Fille en Aiguilles.

Vanille Fatale

Notes: myrrh, frankincense, rum, saffron, coriander, lime, orange; barley, coffee, frangipani, plum, wormwood, rose; vanilla, suede, mahogany, tobacco, patchouli, violet, oakmoss

Heavy, rich, ambery vanilla. Rich and ominous. Smells basically identical to other dark vanilla perfumes.

Tobacco Vanille

Notes: tobacco, spices; vanilla, cacao, tonka; dried fruit, woods

Fragrant, light sweet tobacco; less heavy than Chergui.

Oud Fleur

Notes: Oud, rose, resins, patchouli, sandalwood

Very tender and gentle May rose.

Oud Wood

Notes: Oud, rosewood, sandalwood, cardamom, vanilla, vetiver, sichuan pepper, amber

Mellow, rich and smooth, stinky-sexy oud.

Patchouli Absolu

Notes: patchouli, leather, cypriol, oakmoss, oud, bay, rosemary, cashmeran, amber, musk, tonka

A more civilized, likable patchouli than the raw stinkiness of Monsieur.  Still feels Eastern Mediterranean, but now less “hairy man taking out the trash” and more “romantic outdoor dinner, under a trellis, with the summer night wind blowing through.”

Oud Minerale

Notes: salt, seawater, seaweed, oud, pink pepper, styrax, ambergris, pepperwood, balsam fir

This does smell mineral! It’s like the bottom of a swimming pool, or like a river stone: smooth, wet, and dark-gray.

Oud Wood Intense

Notes: castoreum, oud, cypress, juniper, angelica, ginger

This is woody and restful, like a spa or a cabin in the forest.

Out of curiosity and oh-gosh-I-shouldn’t-have-spent-this-much-time-on-this-but-here-we-are I wanted to know which Filigree ‘gems’ matched each eye best. I have compiled them here for anyone’s use if they should so need it

After 43 eggs, 290 scattersights, and 115 tri-colour scatters, Oracle is finally a satisfactory colour and I can consider his RNG portion complete.  Going by the median price I (and @elisabluh) paid for the eggs and scattersights, Oracle cost 104,000g.  Which is stupid.

Results are under the cut so I can link them in his bio without crashing the entire site

Comments: Ran out of photoset space on the original second post, so time to start a second third set of scatter images for this guy. Finally hit colours I felt like keeping, so a new (fourth) post as I regene him and match him with a mate. I was originally intending not to stop on any tree dragon colours, but then he landed on what I’m willing to count as close enough to a brown-green-brown tree dragon, just as I was thinking how much I’d like a pairing for that and the new flaunt-flare gene (the tree dragon pair I’d already gened up with it being brown-green-green based). His primary being at the very end of the brown range (I mentally include rust in both brown and red ranges), and his secondary being at a point on the colour wheel that lends iteself well to going in a direction with no overlap with the other pair, also works out nicely.

Original Comments Text: Been wanting to start up another scatterscroll project, but didn’t feel like starting from another low ID dragon this time; wasn’t at all sure just what I wanted to work with. Then last night a post of gaintstrive’s crossed my dash that had four dragons with lineart for sale. and I really liked the cuteness of this guy’s art. Plus, when I took a closer look at him, I noticed he’s a completely gened first gen. So, okay, fine, he can be my next scatterscroll project, and once I get colours I like I’ll probably redo his genes anyway, and then finally get around to actually colouring in the lineart, which currently looks like this:

Pine Trees Quotes

Official Website: Pine Trees Quotes

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

• A pine tree standeth lonely In the North on an upland bare; It standeth whitely shrouded With snow, and sleepeth there. It dreameth of a Palm tree Which far in the East alone, In the mournful silence standeth On its ridge of burning stone. – Heinrich Heine • Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a shovel. – Aldo Leopold • And the needles of the pine trees, freshly washed to a deep, rich green, shimmered with droplets that blinked like clear crystals. – Billie Letts • And they beat. The women for having known them and no more, no more; the children for having been them but never again. They killed a boss so often and so completely they had to bring him back to life to pulp him one more time. Tasting hot mealcake among pine trees, they beat it away. Singing love songs to Mr. Death, they smashed his head. More than the rest, they killed the flirt whom folks called Life for leading them on. – Toni Morrison • As I go musing through this mournful land Soothed by the pine-tree’s solemn harmony, Thy well-loved image comes and walks by me. I seem to hold thee by the gentle hand And talk of things I dimly understand, That thy dear spirit set to mine may be As to an intricate lock the simple key. – John Barlas • As sunbeams stream through liberal space And nothing jostle or displace, So waved the pine-tree through my thought And fanned the dreams it never brought. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Pine', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_pine').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_pine img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life. – John Muir • Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world. – John Muir • By the shores of Gitchee Gumee, By the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood the wigwam of Nokomis, Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis, Dark behind it rose the forest, Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees, Rose the firs with cones upon them; Bright before it beat the water, Beat the clear and sunny water, Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Can you hear the dreams crackling like a campfire? Can you hear the dreams sweeping through the pine trees and tipis? Can you hear the dreams laughing in the sawdust? Can you hear the dreams shaking just a little bit as the day grows long? Can you hear the dreams putting on a good jacket that smells of fry bread and sweet smoke? Can you hear the dreams stay up late and talk so many stories? – Sherman Alexie • Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas. – Ronald Reagan • Do not think I do not realise what I am doing. I am making a composition using the following elements: the winter beach; the winter moon; the ocean; the women; the pine trees; the riders; the driftwood; the shells; the shapes of darkness and the shapes of water; and the refuse. These are all inimical to my loneliness because of their indifference to it. Out of these pieces of inimical indifference, I intend to represent the desolate smile of winter which, as you must have gathered, is the smile I wear. – Angela Carter • Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible. – Euell Gibbons • Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it. – Henry David Thoreau • Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases, load our kids into the car, and drive from tense, crowded New York City to my family’s cottage in Maine. It’s on an island, with stretches of sea and sandy beaches, rocky coasts, and pine trees. We barbecue, swim, lie around, and try to do nothing. – Hope Davis • Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts . . . – John Muir • Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts; and if people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish. – John Muir • For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses, roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs, yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter frost heaved your bones in the ground–old toilers, soil makers: O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost. – Donald Hall • From the pine tree, learn of the pine tree; And from the bamboo, of the bamboo – Matsuo Basho • Generally speaking, the political news, whether domestic or foreign, might be written today for the next ten years with sufficientaccuracy. Most revolutions in society have not power to interest, still less alarm us; but tell me that our rivers are drying up, or the genus pine dying out in the country, and I might attend. – Henry David Thoreau • Gently I stir a white feather fan, With open shirt sitting in a green wood. I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone; A wind from the pine-tree trickles on my bare head. – Li Bai • God took pattern after a pine tree and built you noble. – Zora Neale Hurston • High high in the hills , high in a pine tree bed. She’s tracing the wind with that old hand, counting the clouds with that old chant, Three geese in a flock one flew east one flew west one flew over the cuckoo’s nest – Ken Kesey • I don’t think anyone ‘finds’ joy. Rather, we cultivate it by searching for the preciousness of small things, the ordinary miracles, that strengthen our hearts so we can keep them open to what is difficult: delight in taking a shower or a slow walk that has no destination, in touching something soft, in noticing the one small, black bird who sings every morning from the top of the big old pine tree … I need to give my attention to the simple things that give me pleasure with the same fervor I have been giving it to the complex things with which I drive myself crazy. – Dawna Markova • I found everything so remote but, at the same time, familiar when I occasionally looked into the mountains, rocks, pine trees and plums depicted in old literati paintings. My innermost feeling which was awakened by the same mountains, rocks, pine trees and plums has been totally and utterly changed. Moreover, like an apparition, it hides deep down in my vessels. The very trees and rocks have become the storage of memories and emotions from various eras. Forced by the rapid change of time and perspective, I cannot help but feel urged to face up to these things once again. – Zhang Xiaogang • I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beechtree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines. – Henry David Thoreau • I grew up like a lot of country boys and girls do – amongst the pine trees, dirt roads, farms, mules and people who were real. – Josh Turner • I love Tennessee, but they don’t have the pine trees and the sandy soil and the black water that I grew up around. – Josh Turner • I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. – Hamlin Garland • I should have liked to come across a large community of pines, which had never been invaded by the lumbering army. – Henry David Thoreau • I would say that there exists a thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our chances are one. The farthest star and the mud at our feet are a family; and there is no decency or sense in honoring one thing, or a few things, and then closing the list. The pine tree, the leopard, the Platte River, and ourselves-we are at risk together, or we are on our way to a sustainable world together, we are each other’s destiny. – Mary Oliver • If I were to choose the sights, the sounds, the fragrances I most would want to see and hear and smell–among all the delights of the open world–on a final day on earth, I think I would choose these: the clear, ethereal song of a white-throated sparrow singing at dawn; the smell of pine trees in the heat of the noon; the lonely calling of Canada geese; the sight of a dragon-fly glinting in the sunshine; the voice of a hermit thrush far in a darkening woods at evening; and–most spiritual and moving of sights–the white cathedral of a cumulus cloud floating serenely in the blue of the sky. – Edwin Way Teale • If you could eat portions of pine trees, you could eliminate corn in many ways.- Homaro Cantu • If you look close … you can see that the wild critters have ‘No Trespassing’ signs tacked up on every pine tree. – Marguerite Henry • I’ll be looking for you, Will, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we’ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one’ll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you… We’ll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams… And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they wont’ just be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we’ll be joined so tight. – Philip Pullman • In a pine tree,/ A few yards from my window sill,/ A brilliant blue jay is springing up and down, up and/ down./ On a branch./ I laugh, as I see him abandon himself/ To entire delight, for he knows as well as I do/ That the branch will not break. – James Wright • In snowbound, voiceless, mountain depths, to herald spring, pine trees sound in tune. – Princess Shikishi • It is a thorough process, this war with the wilderness – breaking nature, taming the soil. feeding it on oats. The civilized man regards the pine tree as his enemy. He will fell it and let in the light, grub it up and raise wheat or rye there. It is no better than a fungus to him. – Henry David Thoreau • Late in August the lure of the mountains becomes irresistible. Seared by the everlasting sunfire, I want to see running water again, embrace a pine tree, cut my initials in the bark of an aspen, get bit by a mosquito, see a mountain bluebird, find a big blue columbine, get lost in the firs, hike above timberline, sunbathe on snow and eat some ice, climb the rocks and stand in the wind at the top of the world on the peak of Tukuhnikivats. – Edward Abbey • Learn about a pine tree from a pine tree, and about a bamboo plant from a bamboo plant. – Matsuo Basho • Life has loveliness to sell, / Music like a curve of gold, / Scent of pine trees in the rain, / Eyes that love you, arms that hold, / And for your spirit’s still delight, / Holy thoughts that star the night. – Sara Teasdale • Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And children’s faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup. Life has loveliness to sell, Music like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit’s still delight, Holy thoughts that star the night. Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strife well lost, And for a breath of ecstasy Give all you have been, or could be. – Sara Teasdale • Many parts of a pine tree are edible. – Euell Gibbons • Momo listened to everyone and everything – even to the rain and the wind and the pine trees – and all of them spoke to her after their own fashion. – Michael Ende • No one can look at a pine tree in winter without knowing that spring will come again in due time. – Frank Bolles • No writing on the solitary, meditative dimensions of life can say anything that has not already been said better by the wind in the pine trees. – Thomas Merton • Nothing has ever been said about God that hasn’t already been said better by the wind in the pine trees. – Thomas Merton • One must have a mind of winter to regard the frost and the boughs of the pine trees, crusted with snow, And have been cold a long time, to behold the junipers, shagged with ice, the spruces, rough in the distant glitter of the January sun, and not to think of any misery in the sound of the wind, in the sound of a few leaves, which is the sound of the land, full of the same wind, blowing in the same bare place for the listener, who listens in the snow, and, nothing herself, beholds nothing that is not there, and the nothing that is. – Wallace Stevens • One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow – Wallace Stevens • Only yonder magnificent pine-tree… holds her unchanging beauty throughout the year, like her half-brother, the ocean, whose voice she shares; and only marks the flowing of her annual tide of life by the new verdure that yearly submerges all trace of last year’s ebb. – Thomas Wentworth Higginson • Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs. Our faith gives us knowledge of something better: that we can become oak trees. – E. F.

• A pine tree standeth lonely In the North on an upland bare; It standeth whitely shrouded With snow, and sleepeth there. It dreameth of a Palm tree Which far in the East alone, In the mournful silence standeth On its ridge of burning stone. – Heinrich Heine • Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a shovel. – Aldo Leopold • And the needles of the pine trees, freshly washed to a deep, rich green, shimmered with droplets that blinked like clear crystals. – Billie Letts • And they beat. The women for having known them and no more, no more; the children for having been them but never again. They killed a boss so often and so completely they had to bring him back to life to pulp him one more time. Tasting hot mealcake among pine trees, they beat it away. Singing love songs to Mr. Death, they smashed his head. More than the rest, they killed the flirt whom folks called Life for leading them on. – Toni Morrison • As I go musing through this mournful land Soothed by the pine-tree’s solemn harmony, Thy well-loved image comes and walks by me. I seem to hold thee by the gentle hand And talk of things I dimly understand, That thy dear spirit set to mine may be As to an intricate lock the simple key. – John Barlas • As sunbeams stream through liberal space And nothing jostle or displace, So waved the pine-tree through my thought And fanned the dreams it never brought. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Can you hear the dreams crackling like a campfire? Can you hear the dreams sweeping through the pine trees and tipis? Can you hear the dreams laughing in the sawdust? Can you hear the dreams shaking just a little bit as the day grows long? Can you hear the dreams putting on a good jacket that smells of fry bread and sweet smoke? Can you hear the dreams stay up late and talk so many stories? – Sherman Alexie • Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas. – Ronald Reagan • Do not think I do not realise what I am doing. I am making a composition using the following elements: the winter beach; the winter moon; the ocean; the women; the pine trees; the riders; the driftwood; the shells; the shapes of darkness and the shapes of water; and the refuse. These are all inimical to my loneliness because of their indifference to it. Out of these pieces of inimical indifference, I intend to represent the desolate smile of winter which, as you must have gathered, is the smile I wear. – Angela Carter • Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible. – Euell Gibbons • Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it. – Henry David Thoreau • Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases, load our kids into the car, and drive from tense, crowded New York City to my family’s cottage in Maine. It’s on an island, with stretches of sea and sandy beaches, rocky coasts, and pine trees. We barbecue, swim, lie around, and try to do nothing. – Hope Davis • Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts . . . – John Muir • Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts; and if people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish. – John Muir • For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses, roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs, yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter frost heaved your bones in the ground–old toilers, soil makers: O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost. – Donald Hall • From the pine tree, learn of the pine tree; And from the bamboo, of the bamboo – Matsuo Basho • Generally speaking, the political news, whether domestic or foreign, might be written today for the next ten years with sufficientaccuracy. Most revolutions in society have not power to interest, still less alarm us; but tell me that our rivers are drying up, or the genus pine dying out in the country, and I might attend. – Henry David Thoreau • Gently I stir a white feather fan, With open shirt sitting in a green wood. I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone; A wind from the pine-tree trickles on my bare head. – Li Bai • God took pattern after a pine tree and built you noble. – Zora Neale Hurston • High high in the hills , high in a pine tree bed. She’s tracing the wind with that old hand, counting the clouds with that old chant, Three geese in a flock one flew east one flew west one flew over the cuckoo’s nest – Ken Kesey • I don’t think anyone ‘finds’ joy. Rather, we cultivate it by searching for the preciousness of small things, the ordinary miracles, that strengthen our hearts so we can keep them open to what is difficult: delight in taking a shower or a slow walk that has no destination, in touching something soft, in noticing the one small, black bird who sings every morning from the top of the big old pine tree … I need to give my attention to the simple things that give me pleasure with the same fervor I have been giving it to the complex things with which I drive myself crazy. – Dawna Markova • I found everything so remote but, at the same time, familiar when I occasionally looked into the mountains, rocks, pine trees and plums depicted in old literati paintings. My innermost feeling which was awakened by the same mountains, rocks, pine trees and plums has been totally and utterly changed. Moreover, like an apparition, it hides deep down in my vessels. The very trees and rocks have become the storage of memories and emotions from various eras. Forced by the rapid change of time and perspective, I cannot help but feel urged to face up to these things once again. – Zhang Xiaogang • I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beechtree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines. – Henry David Thoreau • I grew up like a lot of country boys and girls do – amongst the pine trees, dirt roads, farms, mules and people who were real. – Josh Turner • I love Tennessee, but they don’t have the pine trees and the sandy soil and the black water that I grew up around. – Josh Turner • I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. – Hamlin Garland • I should have liked to come across a large community of pines, which had never been invaded by the lumbering army. – Henry David Thoreau • I would say that there exists a thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our chances are one. The farthest star and the mud at our feet are a family; and there is no decency or sense in honoring one thing, or a few things, and then closing the list. The pine tree, the leopard, the Platte River, and ourselves-we are at risk together, or we are on our way to a sustainable world together, we are each other’s destiny. – Mary Oliver • If I were to choose the sights, the sounds, the fragrances I most would want to see and hear and smell–among all the delights of the open world–on a final day on earth, I think I would choose these: the clear, ethereal song of a white-throated sparrow singing at dawn; the smell of pine trees in the heat of the noon; the lonely calling of Canada geese; the sight of a dragon-fly glinting in the sunshine; the voice of a hermit thrush far in a darkening woods at evening; and–most spiritual and moving of sights–the white cathedral of a cumulus cloud floating serenely in the blue of the sky. – Edwin Way Teale • If you could eat portions of pine trees, you could eliminate corn in many ways.- Homaro Cantu • If you look close … you can see that the wild critters have ‘No Trespassing’ signs tacked up on every pine tree. – Marguerite Henry • I’ll be looking for you, Will, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we’ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one’ll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you… We’ll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams… And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they wont’ just be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we’ll be joined so tight. – Philip Pullman • In a pine tree,/ A few yards from my window sill,/ A brilliant blue jay is springing up and down, up and/ down./ On a branch./ I laugh, as I see him abandon himself/ To entire delight, for he knows as well as I do/ That the branch will not break. – James Wright • In snowbound, voiceless, mountain depths, to herald spring, pine trees sound in tune. – Princess Shikishi • It is a thorough process, this war with the wilderness – breaking nature, taming the soil. feeding it on oats. The civilized man regards the pine tree as his enemy. He will fell it and let in the light, grub it up and raise wheat or rye there. It is no better than a fungus to him. – Henry David Thoreau • Late in August the lure of the mountains becomes irresistible. Seared by the everlasting sunfire, I want to see running water again, embrace a pine tree, cut my initials in the bark of an aspen, get bit by a mosquito, see a mountain bluebird, find a big blue columbine, get lost in the firs, hike above timberline, sunbathe on snow and eat some ice, climb the rocks and stand in the wind at the top of the world on the peak of Tukuhnikivats. – Edward Abbey • Learn about a pine tree from a pine tree, and about a bamboo plant from a bamboo plant. – Matsuo Basho • Life has loveliness to sell, / Music like a curve of gold, / Scent of pine trees in the rain, / Eyes that love you, arms that hold, / And for your spirit’s still delight, / Holy thoughts that star the night. – Sara Teasdale • Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And children’s faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup. Life has loveliness to sell, Music like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit’s still delight, Holy thoughts that star the night. Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strife well lost, And for a breath of ecstasy Give all you have been, or could be. – Sara Teasdale • Many parts of a pine tree are edible. – Euell Gibbons • Momo listened to everyone and everything – even to the rain and the wind and the pine trees – and all of them spoke to her after their own fashion. – Michael Ende • No one can look at a pine tree in winter without knowing that spring will come again in due time. – Frank Bolles • No writing on the solitary, meditative dimensions of life can say anything that has not already been said better by the wind in the pine trees. – Thomas Merton • Nothing has ever been said about God that hasn’t already been said better by the wind in the pine trees. – Thomas Merton • One must have a mind of winter to regard the frost and the boughs of the pine trees, crusted with snow, And have been cold a long time, to behold the junipers, shagged with ice, the spruces, rough in the distant glitter of the January sun, and not to think of any misery in the sound of the wind, in the sound of a few leaves, which is the sound of the land, full of the same wind, blowing in the same bare place for the listener, who listens in the snow, and, nothing herself, beholds nothing that is not there, and the nothing that is. – Wallace Stevens • One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow – Wallace Stevens • Only yonder magnificent pine-tree… holds her unchanging beauty throughout the year, like her half-brother, the ocean, whose voice she shares; and only marks the flowing of her annual tide of life by the new verdure that yearly submerges all trace of last year’s ebb. – Thomas Wentworth Higginson • Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs. Our faith gives us knowledge of something better: that we can become oak trees. – E. F. Schumacher • Picture it in your mind’s nostril: you get in a cab in time to catch twin thugs named Vomit and Cologne assaulting a defenseless pine-tree air freshener. – Sloane Crosley • Pine trees with low limbs spread over fresh snow made a stronger vault for the spirit than pews and pulpits ever could. – Daniel Woodrell • Santa Claus has nothing to do with it,” the latke said. “Christmas and Hanukah are completely different things.” “But different things can often blend together,” said the pine tree. “Let me tell you a funny story about pagan rituals. – Daniel Handler • so, when I spotted a cougar stretched out on a thick pine tree branch near the park gates, I wasn’t surprised.

Comments: Ran out of photoset space on the original second post, so time to start a second third set of scatter images for this guy.

Been wanting to start up another scatterscroll project, but didn’t feel like starting from another low ID dragon this time; wasn’t at all sure just what I wanted to work with. Then last night a post of gaintstrive’s crossed my dash that had four dragons with lineart for sale. and I really liked the cuteness of this guy’s art. Plus, when I took a closer look at him, I noticed he’s a completely gened first gen. So, okay, fine, he can be my next scatterscroll project, and once I get colours I like I’ll probably redo his genes anyway, and then finally get around to actually colouring in the lineart, which currently looks like this:
