A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having specialized tissues that conduct water and nutrients, in having branched stems and in having life cycles in which the sporophyte is the dominant phase. Like other vascular plants, ferns have complex leaves called megaphylls, that are more complex than the microphylls of clubmosses. Most ferns are leptosporangiate ferns, sometimes referred to as true ferns. They produce coiled fiddleheads that uncoil and expand into fronds. The group includes about 10,560 known extant species.
Ferns first appear in the fossil record about 360 million years ago in the late Devonian period, but many of the current families and species did not appear until roughly 145 million years ago in the early Cretaceous, after flowering plants came to dominate many environments. The fern Osmunda claytoniana is a paramount example of evolutionary stasis; paleontological evidence indicates it has remained unchanged, even at the level of fossilized nuclei and chromosomes, for at least 180 million years.

Roll the Dice
Die Pflastersteine liegen wie hingeworfene Würfel am Boden. Noch herrscht Chaos, doch bald werden sie in neuer Ordnung ihren Platz finden. Für einen Moment aber bleibt es ein stilles Spiel aus Formen und Zufall.
Roll the Dice
The cobblestones lie on the ground like scattered dice. For now, there is only chaos, but soon they will find their place in a new order. For a brief moment, it remains a silent game of shapes and chance.
Ello again Dolls! I'm so happy Phedora released these roller skates so i can roll my behind in a skating rink. I love the variety of colors and prints you can use with them and I thought it was only right to pair them with Sabotage's cute vintage shorts. Happy skating loves! xoxo

Glencoe in the summer sun...sitting here on the last day of december under unrelenting dismal grey skies this sort of scene can't come soon enough!
One more shot from the Marina, with the bridge still cloaked in rolling fog, but starting to re-appear.
The mini-lighthouse appears older than it actually is, it was built in 1931 but used salvaged stones from an older mansion in San Francisco and much of the wood came from old ships. The Park Commissioner at the time, explained that this lighthouse was built from salvaged materials in an effort to "create a bit of Old World beauty". It was there for 2 years before construction began on the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933, which in turn finished in 1937.
It was built as a fully functional lighthouse to guide boaters in the bay back to the safety of the marina.
Retired for the night, feet up, Heineken in hand. Glanced up at the sound of thunder. Eureka. A roll cloud and a shelf cloud! Last saw one live 15 years ago!
Greyhound Beach, Santa Cruz County, California
We are standing on top of the bluff above Greyhound Beach on a late afternoon, watching the Pacific surf roll in and then recede. The people below are sometimes sent scurrying when a wave creeps too close for their comfort.
After spending the daylight hours tied down at Shippensburg Airport, NS 12R with the "Honoring our Veterans" SD60E leading has a new crew on board and is ready to head east. The crew has all the lights on as they give a roll-by inspection to the NS 213, a hotshot intermodal train passing on Main 2.
