Geocache Description:

If you've been geocaching in central Texas for any length of time, you know that Tygress does all of her logs in verse.  If you've been around a bit longer, you may have a geocoin or a pathtag designed by her.  But did you know that she has another hobby?  The caches along these new roads highlight the other side of Tygress.


Set Builder:

Set builders are the people who construct the theater sets.  Theatrical scenery is that which is used as a setting for a theatrical production. Scenery may be just about anything, from a single chair to an elaborately re-created street, no matter how large or how small, whether or not the item was custom-made or is, in fact, the genuine item, appropriated for theatrical use.

The history of theatrical scenery is as old as the theatre itself, and just as obtuse and tradition bound. What we tend to think of as 'traditional scenery', i.e. two-dimensional canvas-covered 'flats' painted to resemble a three-dimensional surface or vista, is in fact a relatively recent innovation and a significant departure from the more ancient forms of theatrical expression, which tended to rely less on the actual representation of space and more on the conveyance of action and mood. By the Shakespearean era, the occasional painted backdrop or theatrical prop was in evidence, but the show itself was written so as not to rely on such items to convey itself to the audience. However, this means that today's set designers must be that much more careful, so as to convey the setting without taking away from the actors.

Yep, not only does the Tygress have to paint them, sometimes she has to help build them.

Should be an easy PnG in dry weather.  Wet weather?  You're on your own.
