My sister, Betty and I found the most awesome place yesterday. It was a lovely Botanical Garden. Though many of the flowers were already gone for the year, I loved the wind sculptures. We are looking forward to going there in the Spring when it is in full bloom.

There's something I really love about wind, which is funny because I used to hate it entirely.
Growing up in a valley in Alaska, we had very aggressive gusts of winter wind, and it would keep me up at night thinking our house would blow over.
Then I grew up and started to see wind as something like a testament to how small and weak I am. Wind is so innately strong and huge and powerful, and somehow I started to see that as a good thing.
Now, wind reminds me of how little control I can attain over my own life as well as all circumstances, which is more freeing than scary. Gotta love wind.

In the Algarve we have plenty of wind mills to produce energy out of wind. When I went for a ride yesterday at dusk I saw these and I had to shoot them.
