This is a fun, slightly frustrating and informative quest hunt by Dandelion Daydreams Factory.

The quest is in 4 parts, the longest of which takes place at the House of The House of Christian Kind. And it's the first part of the quest. But in the end you learn some about a forgotten Christmas figure who is coming back into the light of recent, with a bit of a new story tossed in. And prizes, lots of neat prizes! You can learn a bit more about it at this link. And the quest runs until the end of January so loads of time to do it!

I highly recommend joining the Dandelion Daydreams group, I would have never gotten out of the house with out help from them! And its a good quest to do with a friend or team up with someone else doing it. And if you can't do either, and get really stuck, IM me and when I get on I'll help you out.

You can see all the photos I took here and warning, some are kinda spoilery if you want to go for the quest on your own.

The Gacha Garden photo contest Entries

Trying my hand at another Photo contest, this time for The Gacha Garden

I took two, and neither photo has any post processing all lighting effects where done in world with Windlight.

Meadow Music



In this one I am wearing *{Junbug}* La Boheme [Seed of Inspiration] and the pose is the !Musa! Harp gacha Wood RARE, both items from the current round of the Gacha Garden.

I love the windlight interplay on the gown in this shot. Ode was the perfect spring times sim for this shoot. I wanted a dreamy feel for it and got exactly what I wanted.


Choir Practice



On the fence you see all the *HEXtraordinary* Meowls and I am wearing Neverwish's Star Corset in purple. Both from this round of the Gacha Garden.

This took forever to set up, all those Meowls! But I love the whimsy and humor in it! I took it on my land and left the meowls in place, so now I can go and listen to them when ever I want.

I'm working on another photo contest entry for a different contest but I don't know if I'll get it done in time. Having issues finding the right spot for it.

The Blasted Heath is a LEA sim based around the short story The Colour Out of Space by H.P. Lovecraft *wikipedia article* which can be read online here

I'm not a reader of Lovecraft, so I was not familiar with the story this sim is based on. But just reading the Wiki synopses gave me enough info to understand this sim. I do wish there was things to do on it and not just look at. Do have your music off and your sounds on to fully experience this sim.

On and pan up fully, there is a cthulhu on the sim!

Gacha Gacha!



So Gachas are HUGE ..HUGE in Secondlife right now. And a bit of fun, but they always come with a problem

What to do with all those extras!

I used to have a table at a yard seller but the sim went away. So this week I decided to do something else.

I sent all my doubles to my husband's account, as his marketplace isn't in use and mine is. And put them all up on it, it took for ever. I called the store Adar's Gacha Treasures, A bit of a joke as he's a dragon. I think I priced things fairly, I looked up what other people are selling the same items I have at and priced accordingly. Though I do have a few items I am the only one selling at the moment! And I've already made a few sales.

If you want to take a look the store is here https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/177100

All my photos of this dream are at this link

I have enjoyed every single Dream this sim has given us. I am hoping for one last one, a winter holiday dream, for a good round six dreams, but this autumnal one may be the last. But if they do have another you can be sure I'll photograph the heck outta it! And I hope dreams keep coming next year too!

I admit this dream does not have some of my better photography work in it. I think its getting time for another graphics card upgrade, SL's moving slow on me again. That will happen once I get the money from working Haunted Castle in Muskogee this past October. And I hope that fixes it, if not, saving up for a new motherboard and processor!



This dream was a calming mountainside forest in full fall glory, with many winding paths and streams to explore, a few hidden buildings and little nooks and crannies to discover. I think I found all it's "Secrets" and if I didn't I'd love to know what I missed!
