that span less than a hand's breath
and last less than a season.

The vertices of a layered graph representing paths for the Collatz problem are used to construct a Voronoi diagram.
Janet saw these leaves moving and then we saw them, thousands of leaf cutter ants on the path to Palenque. These guys take the leaf parts to their underground nests where they chew them up, injecting them with fungal spores. The fungi decompose the leaves and are presumably the main food of the ants. So, it's a three-way symbiosis between three Kingdoms, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia. Pretty amazing. I have some footage of these babies too that I'll put up soon.

Very overcast when I took my run today, almost threatening, but barely a drizzle fell. Almost as if the sky knew I needed to be out, and let me be there.

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

...AND THAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS THE ROYAL GORGE BRIDGE....
-------------------------
At 1,053 feet above the Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge was completed in only six months with no fatalities. In 1907, the federal government deeded Royal Gorge to the town of Canon City, Colorado for use as a municipal park. To enhance the appeal as a tourist attraction, a bridge was needed to cross the gorge. So, in 1929, Lon Piper undertook the construction of a one-lane toll bridge. Piper designed a bridge 1,260 feet long and 18 feet wide. The bridge is suspended from two 200-ton cables. Each cable has 2,100 strands of No. 9 galvanized wire in it. The floor of the bridge contains 1,000 tons of steel and almost 1,300 wooden planks. It took only $350,000 to build the Royal Gorge Bridge. To replace it today, it would cost over $10 million.
