"But the Voyager record is on its way out of the solar system. The erosion in interstellar space--chiefly cosmic rays and impacting dust grains--is so slow that the information on the record will last a billion years. Genes and brains and books encode information differently and persist through time at different rates. But the persistence of memory of the human species will be far longer in the impressed metal grooves on the Voyager interstellar record."
--Carl Sagan
through the winter, through floods, even though rocks and against gravity, weeds persist. and i can't even grow a decent bunch of parsley
This plant was growing up through some rocks in the Painted Desert in Arizona. Everything was barren of life all around.... except for this green, persistant, willful bundle of life.

After popping out the main chip and LED array, there was only the
battery compartment and motion sensor left.
we caved and bought postcards from this little girl.
we then saw her again an hour later and she tried selling us some more, either having forgotten or trying her luck ; )
we declined and she started following us towards another temple, far from where we found her. she walked with us for a long while, giggling along. i was a little worried she'd get lost as she was so small but 15 min later she said goodbye and walked back.
sweet thing. i could have taken her back with us.
On the way to gymnastics, we saw this fun truck stuck under the bridge. So I told Josie they had to take the truck to the truck doctor. Well it clicked and she spent the whole gym class asking to go outside to check on the truck. Then she kept talking about it at school. And went to bed talking about the truck doctor.
Saw this little clump of vegetation poking through a snow bank near Frazier Park CA. Gave me an opportunity to play with manual exposure in an attempt to get the snow to be white instead of gray

The same with this tree. It doesn't know it needs soil to grasp on, so it grasps on the rock.

These people sang a prayer. There was a monk who auditioned the devotion and the people sang with him. There where always people who came and joined or people who leave the devotion. And there were also a lot of tourists around who were more or less fascinated by that.

We were amazed at the tenacity of these bunches of flowers that grew right out of the stone. This is one of many.
