I'm trying a different colour scheme this year :) The snow flakes are made of different envelopes (from the bank, promotional mail, etc.) The light blue and gray colours are from the pattern inside of these envelopes.

See notes for where the other decorations came from.

Found at the Big Spring. Because of the dry conditions there is less of this growing this year.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it ~ Groucho Marx

Defrost doesn't do any good I'm sure.

It is easy to see a place and move on to the next item on the itinerary, but these experiences can be fleeting and not register on the subconscious. One of my goals being overseas this summer as part of the UW in Scotland cohort was to take the time to be fully present in the places that I visited. To support this goal I took many, many pictures during my 18-day trip. Many of the photos were of small details of what I called “textures” on my social media posts documenting my travels. These textures were moments that captured an essence of a location or an ephemeral feeling that I may have missed if I hadn’t been looking. In this photo of a sculpture in the gardens at Abbotsford, I was only able to see it because I stopped and turned around to look at the sculpture from another angle. This sums up my experience of being abroad. Take the time to be present, to “see” from multiple perspectives. You don’t know what you might bring home with you. The photos I took all have deeper meaning to me because I was fully present when taking them.

Lagartija es el diminutivo de "lagarto", y en diferentes países se utiliza como nombre común para denominar a algunas o todas las especies de ciertos géneros de las familias: Lacertidae y Gekkonidae.

It's hard to tell w/o a frame of reference, but it was only about 12" high! This was at the zoo, where I went with my mom over fall break.

It's a small thing losing a glove, but no doubt this youngster will be missing it :-(

All the Small Things is a song by American rock band Blink-182. It was the second single and eighth track released from the band's third album, Enema of the State (1999). The track was composed primarily by guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge as an ode to his then girlfriend Jennifer Jenkins. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Jerry Finn, the song was created with the intention of shipping it to radio, as the trio felt they needed a single "really catchy and basic." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_Small_Things

this week's photogamer is all about the small things. I decided to take pictures of insects. Here's an aphid (I think) that landed on my clipboard during a plant walk.

The first time I saw the surface texture of a poppy seed, it was through a microscope. In the microscope you can start to see the polygons on the surface. Now I can take a close up with my camera and get so much more detail, it is amazing.
