Periodic Wonder
Sunbeams through the windows shed new light on the elements that make up our universe. Everything we know, love, and can imagine is made of atoms that are present or represented in this display. So simple, yet so complex, I still find it amazing when I reflect on how much can be made from soContinue reading “Periodic Wonder”
Buns to the Sun
Sir Gnome provides light in the evening and during the predawn twilight. But first, he has to capture light. Here he is on a stump, butt to the sun, soaking up rays. The light enters through the little solar panel on his backside and hides away inside Sir Gnome until darkness arrives. Then after darkContinue reading “Buns to the Sun”
Autumn Memory
These tiny wild grapes growing along a Florida trail brought back memories of traipsing along the Platt River in the fall.

There was no hiding the snacking, either, sinceContinue reading “Autumn Memory”
Hiding in Plain Sight

Cranes in the Hood
I was taking my daily telescopic photos of the sun when I heard the distinctive rattling trill of cranes. The sun and scopes just had to wait while I scanned the sky for my feathered friends. Shortly they came into view high above the trees and began circling overhead in the rising air currents. ThenContinue reading “Cranes in the Hood”

Begging Bread
Little Red Hen has been busy once again in the kitchen and this time had help from some little chicks. Neighbor kids came over to watch with wide eyes how she brought five loaves of bread into being. Of course, a loaf of bread went home with each child, but we still had these threeContinue reading “Begging Bread”
