i am reminded of a sailboat regatta waiting for the starting gun
perhaps a fitting metaphor for starting the new year

it has been one of my greatest morning pleasures of 2012 coming to this space with my first sips of coffee. I am so looking forward to being still in 2013.

i don’t know why, but i have a really hard time letting go of my STILL blog specimens and returning them to nature. i get attached. they tend to gather and pile up on most of the horizontal surfaces of my home. this assemblage was put together with just the specimens on the table on our terrace in autignac, france. only a few of them made it to minnesota in my suitcase. the rest was returned to languedocien soil.
i like this photo. it feels like a fitting wrap-up to our three and a half months in southern france.

i so enjoy frosty fractal patterns on the windows although it has not yet been cold enough here except for the windows of my car.
Coincidence – Last night I posted a photo I took of a close up of ice crystals on facebook.
