Mighty Flying V

Walking back to the library from Durand. From high above and behind, the sound of squaking geese resounds. It grows louder and louder until finally, reaching the library, the geese are flying overhead. Majestic creatures with an amazing sense of community, flying together in three V formations, resounding their presence loudly accross the campus. Duck inside the door, the sound is gone. back to reality of computers and books.

Forest Blue

Found yet another wonderful nature photo. This one represents a forest obviously, seemingly during the day, on a rainy day. A storm had just subsided on this canopy of green, throwing a gloomy blue shadow over the earth. The scene is magical, a fog that is both inviting and menacing. It makes me think of the fantasy of elves living deep in the forest, a gloomy yet magical fog that draws you in although sticking fear within.

Hugging Moss

Moss. The hairy green monster that encompasses the dead, and living. A whole tree can be lost under its cover fuzzy covers, blanketed from the elements. A monster that feeds of sunlight, but clings to another, non-parasitical in nature. The darkness flowing in, the rain from the morning long gone, the green monster hugs the log tight, in a warming embrace.

SNOW

It snowed today. For the first time this year (not including the first months of the year that is) and it was beautiful. Its amazing we made it through november without a snowfall. Im ready now for a white winter, so it should come soon. I want to have snowball fights.

Now December

Its now December. Its amazing we made it through November without a single snowflake falling to the earth. I cant remember the last time that happened. Global warming to blame? Or is it just a natural occurrence? Hard to say, but either way, its been a lovely November. Will December match it? With snow of course...unless it doesnt snow?? Doubt it, its the midwest. Unpredictable weather, but predictable enough to know it will eventually snow. Whether that snow will remain on the ground remains to be seen. Time will tell, time will tell.

Creeping Out

This picture looks like many different things. One, the rock formation looks like a foot wearing one of those shoes with a dangling ball on the toes, but the ball is submerged under the water. Two, it looks like a goose feeding in the water. Three, it could be a left hand with the index finger curled outward. Four, it could be Hooks claw! Floating black thing in the middle of the water...what is it?

One day. One night. Frost upon the ground..crunching under the weight of my feet. Need for the scraper the remove the frost from my cars windows. its not winter yet...thats not for another month. Why the frost? Oh and it makes it better...next day. 50 degrees. Sunny. Warm. A beautiful day. Midwest weather is ridiculous let me just say.
