my new favorite blog!

check out resurrection fern - she makes sweaters for snails for pete's sake! it's fabulous. plus, her mushroom pictures are excellent. i wonder where she's located. i have mushroom envy.

Alaska

the beautiful Homer spit. we hung out in Homer for a few hours before taking a boat to Halibut Cove.


we hiked to this glacier on our first morning


this is a sea urchin (check out what they look like without spines here).

we had sunny weather almost all weekend, but the one shower was worth it for this rainbow.

luke is now a fan of kayaking.

this seal camped out of the pier while we were there.

there are mushrooms in Alaska, too!

nature in miniature

last week i went with my family to west virginia to some forest service cabins in the woods. i took advantage of my camera's digital macro setting to take some photos of the local flora.

dc

last weekend we went to visit krissy and chris in dc. we did lots of fun stuff, including seeing this deer with fangs (i love the natural history museum in dc!), and the botanical garden behind the capital where luke took these amazing pictures.

edward burtynsky

this week and next week are very busy for me while i finish up a deadline at work. not much crafting going on... in the meantime, check out edward burtynsky, my favorite photographer. his landscapes of shipbreaking, abandoned mines and quarries, and the three gorges dam in china are haunting.
