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.
