Jean and I went to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden on Monday morning. A great chance to see some cactus blooms, birds and of course this little guy, which is a round-tailed squirrel. I thought he looked so cute sampling the produce along the trail.
The Sample Gates serve as a welcoming entryway for beautiful IU campus.

My daughter Mariacristina is a Biochemist and she is always on the lookout for samples to analyse. A phone snap of the view from the fell showed this disused reservoir in the distance, duly WhatsApp to my family. Quickly came back reply red lining the pond with the message “Samples from here”. So I made my way down and retrieved the two specimen contains and collected her two samples, one of water and one scrapped from the bottom getting a bit wet in the process. My job done I took this photo. So my darling daughter this is where I collected your samples, any use of this photo in your scientific journals will cost you.

Indiana University
With plans already underway for the celebration of Indiana University’s Sesquicentennial, in 1966 Benjamin H. Long (A.B. 1926) came forward with an interest in erecting a gateway in memory of his father and mother, Benjamin F. (Trustee from 1915-36) and Lucy Nichols Long who were both IU graduates. But the idea of erecting a portal was initiated by members of the Classes of 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902 who established a University “Arch Fund” “for the construction of an arch over the Kirkwood Avenue entrance to the campus.”
Finally in the 1980s when the majority of the opposition to the proposal had quieted, long-time University director of scholarships and financial aid Edson Sample stepped forward to fund the Eggers and Higgins design of the early 1960s in honor of his parents, Louise Waite Sample and Kimsey Ownbey Sample Sr. The final completion of the Sample Gates was in 1987.

I flashed back to childhood the other day. Not sure what triggered it. I'm never sure. The neurons in my brain connect somehow like an old-fashioned telephone switchboard. And suddenly there I am, mentally teleported to some distant place in time. In this episode I'm about age 12 and my bedroom was being remodeled. Mom said I could choose whatever pattern I liked for the wallpaper. I recall searching through absurdly oversize books contains samples of all sort of wall coverings. They passed by in a blur until I spotted the perfect choice: a Batman motif. I told mom the search was over, this was my pick. She looked at it disapprovingly and tried to steer me to other selections, ones that did not include cartoon characters. But my choice was firm and the decision was final. Some weeks later the new wallpaper went up. It should surprise none that it did not feature the Caped Crusader. It was just some abstract floral pattern that looked just like the wallpaper elsewhere in the house. Mom knows best I guess. My brain circuits cut out at that point and I'm back in the present wondering where the hell that came from. And then I came across this photo from a series I did a couple of years ago. It was never published, then subsequently lost in my recent hard drive crash fiasco. But miraculously it just resurfaced in a group of recovered files. And immediately the connection was made. Just like the Batman wallpaper would have increased the awesomeness of my childhood bedroom, I was absolutely awestruck by the vines in this photo. Love how they snake their way up the wall and across the window panes. There's a drippy, creepy-crawly effect that enhances the look of abandonment. It elevates the dreary to a new plateau, more of a haunted house vibe. I remember staring up at the window at the time, thinking how I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing. Batman lives!
