Sunset after a storm

Contrail with anvil

Glad I wasn't on that plane....

Turning over a new leaf

I'm going to try to start this blog up again, though posting might still be intermittent as I no longer have a computer at home (someone stole mine). So for now, please enjoy the caladiums.

It's storm season again here in Tornado Alley.

End of the line

. . . for now, anyway.

All the ways of the wind

"Polly Come Home"

Written by Gene Clark
Performed by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
on Raising Sand

If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind

Polly, come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
As it begins

Dreams cover much time
Still they leave blind
The will to begin
I searched for you there
And now look for you from within

Overgrown windmill

Wave clouds in suburbia

Office casualty

Snow calligraphy

Even a plain bed of mulch and twigs looks more intriguing in the snow.

Fun at Ikea

Over the winter break, I had the chance to go down to Dallas to catch two small art exhibits: Chihuly and Rex Ray. Both were amazing. I even got to explore a fabulous high-end modern furniture store that had a few more of Rex Ray's collages on display. Then we went to Ikea.

All that and what do I have pictures of? Fun stuffed animals at Ikea!!!
