Mini parachutes…

February 25, 2008 · 1 Comment

The dandelion‘s florets… can change into the well known “white gossamer”
seed-ball overnight.

…call to Vespers.

February 20, 2008 · Leave a Comment

A true call to “vespers” was tonight’s “Full Lunar Eclipse”, an amazing flying color!
The moon appeared to be red because the
only light shining on it comes from dim sunlight filtered red by the Earth’s
atmosphere and refracted into the Earth’s shadow.

George Nguyen eclipse

The total lunar eclipse of Nov. 8-9, 2003.
George Nguyen and Ion Iftimie catalogued the eclipse’s progression from George Washington University in Washington, DC.,
between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. ET. They used two digital cameras at 10x zoom.

Sprinkled
among the many folds of the “Puzzle Purse” are words and phrases. Once they are read they uncover an endearing message or maybe a secret. It becomes a puzzle to resolve and to refold.

It is also “A Valentine” you can make and share!
