lately, just for fun, i have been taking my still blog images and dragging them into google image search to see what turns up. i know it sounds like a weird form of amusement, but the first time i did it, the results were so entertainingly unexpected, that i got hooked. today, when i dragged this catalpa leaf into google images i asked my hubby what we might see. ” a topographical map of a watershed” he answered, with a certainty that might have  been actual certainty, but might also have been a bluff. according to google, a spade-shaped leaf on a white background looks more like the ace of spades than a topo map. sorry honey.
