It's about the texture
The leaves and veining on this tropical plant were neat. BUT, in B&W They look like valleys and ridges and rivers...

It just keeps on hangin' on...
Woke up Wednesday morning to 5" of snow on the ground; it's all gone now, but this was the new snow yesterday morning on the mountain behind us. The mountain has a curve that seems to trap the snow in a certain area; you can see a diagonal tree line on the left where the snow didn't stick. It just depends on the air flow around that part of the mountain. This is the view from my bathroom window...I am so lucky!!
A close-up of the top of the peak. People climb to the top of this...sometimes not too successfully.
A wider view of the "wart", as I call it.
And THIS! This is the demented robin, who for the THIRD (yes THIRD) year in a row is back, fighting with the bird in the front door kickplate (which is now covered with paper). So, he throws himself against the front window, sitting on the porch railing in between flings. I've strung fishing line across the railing, which keeps him off of there, but he just rests on the porch before flying up to the window. Needless to say, my windows are filthy, as is the porch. He also goes after 4 other windows on other sides of the house.

Stacked
Saw these really cool acrylic tumblers at the...yes, nursery. (I tell ya, I LOVE that place!) The abstract patterns the stacks made really caught my eye, and the way the light played through the thickness of the acrylic. If you didn't know, you'd think these were reflections.

Passing Through
These are from about 10 days ago, when we still had snow on the ground...my nemesis, the Rotten Elk, stopping by to see what's growing. Taken through my living room window.
Hopefully now that DS is here--well, actually his dog--there will be enough dog smell around the yard to cause these pests and the rest of their friends (a group of about 13) to detour to my neighbors' yards!

summer dining
Don't the colors of this tableware just make you want to grill and eat out on the patio?? Love the translucent vividness of the different shades.
