An update to yesterday’s post about how lovely the birds were and how warm the sun’s rays were: Here’s what we woke to this morning. Of course the temperature has climbed already to above 40°F and the snow is sliding off the roofs.

A place for pollen

May 12, 2010

It’s been awhile since I have added bits of very ordinary beauty. Found these on my walk tonight with Elke. These are ribbons of pollen, gathered at the edge of a pool in a park. Elke wasn’t too convinced of the beauty in the slime, but I saw it as floating tapestries. I bet she [...]
