On the road to adventure

In January I thought this would be the year for staying put, but so far that has not been the case.

However, the roads have been clear and the views spectacular

Where are you headed next?

Monday Morning Joy : Invisible Creature

I love the graphics of music poster art — there is something so distinctive about it — the look of sound … Here are a few that caught my eye recently:

Signs

Out tromping earlier this week, I stumbled across these:

They look like aliens to me … the first intrepid explorers into spring.

Out across a sunny field these caught my eye. How could they not!

Electric yellow against the drab and muted grasses of last year.

And finally, right under my feet, I found these:

Baby Pasque Flowers!!!!!!!!

The sandhills are here, the Pasque Flowers are emerging, we might get snow this weekend, but spring is here!

Can you believe it? THIS is what exists under our noses and we don’t have any idea:

I spend a lot of my time thinking about and trying to measure invisible things. It makes me appreciate how much we’ve been able to figure out, and even more, how much we still don’t know.

These photos were taken by a biochemist : I’m completely enchanted by the physical world around me and obsessed by its natural beauty. My career in science has magnified this feeling of awe. For me, photography is a way to capture this physical beauty and to pass this feeling on to others.

I hope your Monday holds hidden discoveries.

Monday Morning Joy : Science!!

I’m looking forward to summer for many reasons, but trying this just zoomed to the top of my list :

One of many, many, many reasons I love science.

Hope your week is full of things that make you wonder!

Unfettered Inspiration

Sometimes it feels like everything has been done, and then you come across artists like these two women, manipulating mediums in completely unexpected ways. Who would think fire could create such beautiful pattern?

SPRING!

Happy, happy first day of spring!

I am ready for:

bare feet,
bare shoulders,
freckles,
green shoots,
seedlings,
dirty fingernails,
muddy, smiling dogs,
spectacular sunsets over green hills,
and most of all, Sandhill Cranes!!!!

What are you eager for with this new season?

Monday Morning Joy : Mark Tipple

Is it just me, or do these bubbles look like jellyfish?!

And now back to regular programming

Hi All!

I’ve been on an unexpected media fast — traveling, trying to get a few huge work projects done, an unexpected need for a new computer — and now suddenly it’s MARCH!

It feels like spring here — blustery and warm and unsettled. It’s making me unsettled and flighty as well. Do you ever notice that your moods change with the changing seasons?

I’m getting back on track, downloading photos, organizing my thoughts…

I’ll have pretty things to look at SOON. I promise.

I hope you’re well.

Monday Morning Joy : Mario Kolaric

It is amazing how something so simple – hand-drawn lines – can create something so intricate and complex. These drawings are mesmerizing.
