I'm catching up with my Picture Winter prompts. The day after I took a photo of myself bundled up in my hat and scarf and used it for the texture prompt, Tracey assigned us to take a "bundled up" photo. I didn't want to do the same thing and have been trying to come up with something different. I don't love this, but I'm tired of being behind in the project, so I'm uploading it.
Here I am bundled up for de-icing my driveway -- warm boots and snow shoes. I'm wearing the snow shoes because they have crampons on the bottom. Without them, today, I wouldn't have been able to stand. I spent much of the day out there with these, salt, a spade (for cracking the ice), and a shovel. The good news is that my husband will be able to get the car up the driveway when he comes home from work. The top is still like an ice rink though -- I hope he can get from the car to the house without falling.
These are actually my daughters' snowshoes. They are smaller so better for me if I'm just dealing with ice. Mine are basic black and bigger so they support me better on the snow (I need the extra support).

Project 365: A daily collection of photos tagged "project365" on Flickr
Ferns, wild cherry (prunus) tips, pelargonium, hydrangea, ladies mantle on iron mordanted silk. Another piece of silk overlaid, bundled. Steamed 2 hours. I wanted to leave it for a few days, but, I couldn't... Odd for a weaver to have so little patience.

One way to "package" prayers is to enclose them in tiny cloth bundles.
The Wyoming "Medicine Wheel" comprises an 80-foot diameter circle outlined in white stones (from the local area) with 28 white rock "spokes" and a white rock cairn in the center. Its precise age as a sacred site discovered by indigenous people has not been established but it has certainly been in continuous use for at least 3 millennia. It is still used for ceremonies and similar events by area Natives as well as non-natives today. The precise history of this Medicine Wheel is not known, but there are other, similarly constructed sites throughout the North American west, including in the U.S. and Canada.
The cognizant agency, by agreement with indigenous stakeholders, grants entry into the inner circle only for legitimate use by indigenous groups.
If you visit, please resist the temptation to enter the sacred space, and if you are there when the inner circle is in use, please observe from a respectful distance, and leave promptly if asked to as activities conducted therein may not be open to outsiders. Do not disturb objects left around or inside the wheel, or photograph the celebrants without their explicit permission.
The site is on a high promontory of Medicine Mountain, a little over 30 miles from the town of Lovell, Wyoming.
When not being used for traditional purposes by modern Indian tribal groups, it's open for public visitation year 'round. A designated Historic Landmark, it is under the protection of the US Forest Service, which from June 1- September 30 staffs a small informational kiosk at the trail head to the Wheel.
Anyone can leave offerings around the outside of the wheel, which is bounded by ropes hung along wood stanchions, at any time. At this elevation - nearly 10,000 feet - any object imbued with prayers will be that much closer to The Maker, and just might be carried aloft by the strong winds.
Most people make the lovely and not-difficult 1-1/2 mile walk from the parking area to the Wheel. Visitors with handicapped designation may drive to the top. Hunters can use powered vehicles – typically ATVs – to bypass the sacred site on the way to designated hunting areas in the Bighorn National Forest.

In the UK this Sunday is Mothers Day, so heres a little something for all the Mothers on Flickr with love.
cross section:Zea leaf
common name: corn
magnification: 400x
Berkshire Community College Bioscience Image Library
The iso-bilateral leaf of Zea is typical of most monocots. Both upper and lower epidermis are uniseriate and well cutinized. Within the upper, or adaxial, epidermis, large white bulliform cells shrink, allowing the leaf to roll during drought. Stomata are present on both surfaces with guard cells perched above small round substomatal chambers.
As with most monocots the mesophyll is unspecialized, being composed of compactly arranged somewhat round chlorenchyma cells.
Numerous small and occasionally large vascular bundles are arranged in parallel series along the length of the leaf. The vascular bundles are collateral and closed with xylem of vessels and tracheids towards the adaxial surface and phloem of sieve tubes and companion cells towards the abaxial surface. Cambium is not present. Within each bundle a xylem of two oval metaxylem and a single large protoxylem cavity can be seen.
Each vascular bundle is wraped by a bundle sheath of thin walled parenchyma cells. Larger bundles are supported towards both surfaces by masses of sclerenchyma that interrupt the mesophyll to form a patchy hypodermis.
