Most of my photos for the We're Here group feature Cuthbert Calculus and I also have an album titled "Cuthbert Was Here" with those photos. I was inspired by a QR Code I saw in Science (www.science.org/) recently that used a QR code as a mask on top of some photographs and made a couple of variations of that concept. These are working QR codes that should take you to my Cuthbert Was Here album.
This elegant installation pays homage to the work that insects do in nature; it is strung with white ceramic pods that may serve as habitat. The sisal strings, if left to nature, would eventually provide forage and nesting material.

Spotted these (tasty. with butter!) biscuits in the supermarket. Rushed to get them. I read (wikipedia) that they are indeed named after the great mathematician, Gottfried Wilhelm! Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz (mid 17th centurey - 1st quarter of the 18th) was Newton's contemporary and each developed, independently, calculus! I studied calculus more than 20 years ago and still use it. Leibnitz's notation is much better than Newton's, it enables you to change variables much more easily.
The biscuits are great. Israeli biscuits are made without butter so you can eat them with meat or milk, according to Jewish dietary law. And these, with butter - they're great!
