It may look like a piece of the universe in this petri dish, but each "star" is actually a very young (and small) winged mapleleaf mussel reared at Genoa National Fish Hatchery. You could easily fit all 1,992 of these tiny mussels in the palm of your hand.

A carved gourd bowl. Yes, it is a bowl. I hid the lid carefully by cutting it out along the lines of the leaves. All the leaves are maple leaves found here in Utah. It is colored with Minwax oil-based stains. I did this so the natural characteristics of the gourd can show through. These stains are also not UV sensitive. I chose them partly for this fact. I do not wan the colors to fade easily which can happen with many other coloring methods used on gourds. I also shose this method because I did not want to use paint which so many other people use.
...with a friend. For those of you who were concerned about the fate of this abandoned pink racoon.

This park near my house was re-done a few years ago, and it is a really nice place to walk and take dogs to play.
Change is never easy. You fight to hold on. You fight to let go.
