Today I went on a field trip to the botanical gardens to take pictures of textures. I did get lots of textures, but I also took some fun photos for my own enjoyment and learned many things along the way. For instance:
1) Bonsai are cool. Bonsai in a Chinese courtyard are cooler.
4) This is what hemlock looks like. Ladybugs like it.
6) Nightshade is really poisonous. However, it's the unripe berries that are the worst for you.
6) This is what a lotus looks like. They're beautiful, and they can grow at enormous sizes.
Dave and I spent the last week on the road to and in Prince Edward Island. We made an effort to compile a good collection of songs, and then tested them thoroughly over the 20+ hours we spent on the highway. For your use, I present the playlist:
(1) When a large fissure in your ceiling forms and starts to leak water into the hall.
(2) When enough water drips from said fissure to fill your largest mixing bowl.
(3) When the damage spreads to your roommate's bedroom wall, the bathroom ceiling, and the living room ceiling.
(4) And when a large portion of the wall experiences separation anxiety.
Notice how the left knee is visibly larger and purple-er than the right knee. Ouch!
This is the balcony for the building where I work. It's symmetrical on the other side. There are picnic tables hidden under all the snow.
