So does it come with David Bowie...? ;-)

If I lived in the north, I don't think I would ever get tired of looking at the Aurora. Heck, I'd build a special room with a glass roof, just so I could spend hours lying on my back and watching those glorious curtains of light...

My brain keeps trying to tell me that it's just a photo. Oh my goodness, this blows everything I've ever done right out of the water!

"That's not a moon...that's a Convention Center!"

Only in Dubai...

Ack, I meant "intensity"... :-/

Bernini's David could beat the snot out of Donatello's poncy little git. Just look at the expression on his face! I've never seen a marble figure convey such motion and in tensity before!

Alex!! I searched everywhere for that post and couldn't find it! *LOL* I was going to link it to this one, because that was the first thing I thought of when I watched this. Same driver, perhaps...? ;-)

I gots me a question...can a girl find this book insanely fun? ;-)

I grew up on 11 1/2 acres in what was once a rural stretch of Texas Hill Country, surrounded by wonderfully wild countryside and seasonal creeks full of tadpoles. Some of my fondest memories are of spending the day from sunup to sundown tromping all across the property with a backpack full of field guides and sketching supplies. Few things brought me greater joy than to watch a jar full of frog eggs hatch. And I taught myself anatomy by wiring sun-bleached animal skeletons together. The highlight of my summer evenings was to watch distant thunderheads grow and flicker and fade away as I sat on the road leading up to the family's hillside home, serenaded by chuck-wills-widows and screech owls.

Now my greatest joy is teaching my son all the things that I learned as a barefooted country girl. I only hope that, in this day of instant gratification and electronic delights, he will have the same deep appreciation for more rustic entertainment as I did.

Arg, darn autocensor! That's B a s t a r d up there, under the asterisks. As in, illegitimate offspring. Yanno?

Unhappy Feet...?

Every dog in the county just heard me squeal over this! :-)
