reflections at the end of the Afternoon

Canyon Lake, 5pm, February 28

it's all in the Details

photosynthesis is Happenin'

Cabomba caroliniana, Carolina Fanwort

Biology II, photosynthesis lab experiment. I have become Custodian of the Cabomba, charged with being able to provide a supply for next session of Bio II. I need to make sure it does not take over the world or escape into waterways, it can be invasive in warmer waters. I wonder if it makes good salad fixings?

in dog Years

Yesterday, Susan B. Anthony, Galileo and I all celebrated our birthdays. We were born the same day, not the same year, for those speculating. It was a pretty good day, even when one of my young friends figured out I was 448 in Dog Years! :o)

have a Happy...

Valentine's Day!

one man's trash Is

another man's piece of art!

it comes Across

as vertical

a study in Contrasts

silver and gold

frantic and serene

liquid and solid

2 bottoms don't make a Whole

duck feet just make me smile

some Leftovers

How strong must spider silk be!  It has survived along the creek bank through thunderstorms, windstorms, snowstorms, all the way till February, as fancy as any Alencon lace.

some are Earthbound

My youngest always said "the turkeys are being fancy again" when they started their spring festival of impressing the ladies. Seems early, since it is only the beginning of February, but Punxatawney Phil did predict an early spring.
