This photo somehow reminds me of one of those bleak photos of the Scott Expedition at the South Pole

Photo of 5 men from the Scott Expedition standing in the snow in Antarctica. They look really disappointed and cold. One is wearing a blindfold.

I drape row cover over the daylily flower buds to deter the deer. It's such an attractive look in the garden, isn't it.

Photo of a garden with ferns and day lilies. The day lilies have white plastic draped over them. It all looks pretty trashy but I hope it works.

Peony garden today at UMich arboretum. Peak bloom or close to it.

Photo dominated by green bushes topped by showy pink, white and red flowers (peonies). In the background a very blue sky and green trees.

Alice Hamilton's memoir has many stories of European immigrants who get used up by American factories (and possibly mines too, I can't remember for sure.) From the early decades of the 1900s. Hamilton was a fast friend & colleague of Jane Addams.

Reminds me of this.

Man sitting in a swing waiting perhaps forever. His hands are clasped in his lap, he wears a pale blue button up short sleeve shirt and blue jeans.

What is the pink arrow pointing to? And I tried to circle the supposed lights in Spain and Portugal... between 9 and 10 if the earth is a clock.

A photo of the earth taken from Artemis II. I added a pink arrow pointing at a bright light just about in the middle of the earth but I don't know what that light is. I also circled some possible lights on the margin of the earth, about 9 or 10 if the earth is a clock.

Did you ever see this book? It's absolutely delightful.

Fuzzy screen capture of the cover of the book, Suspended in Language. It's a graphic novel by Jim Ottaviani about Niels Bohr. The cover shows Bohr with a smile on his face, spinning a top. It's an excellent book, a huge favorite (of mine).

There were so many malnourished recruits that it was one of the reasons the govt began requiring that some foods be fortified with vitamins and minerals...with the natural endpoint being Wonder Bread. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK208...

Snow with the long shadows of small trees on it, and a charming path laid down by a mouse: you see paw prints and the mouse’s tail between the left and right paw prints.

A leafless view through brown trees of a river. There is green honeysuckle (invasive species in SE Michigan, out of sync with the season) in the foreground and again in the middle distance. Then the river, and beyond that a gray treeline.

Friends of mine have little photos of their cats with magnets on the back, and they can move the photos around to line up with the labels they deserve:

Photo showing 3 photos of cats. Each photo is under a label: Best Cat of the Day, Cat, and Worst Cat of the Day. The photos have a magnet o the back so the photos can easily be moved as the cats deserve.

Excellent advice, I hope I can remember it when the time comes.

Random backyard picture with snow, footprints and a bird feeder. Predominate colors are white and brown.

I made this collage for a friend's birthday card.

Collage showing a cardinal on a bird feeder and a junco underneath the feeder. Because all the pieces of paper came from a seed catalog, the sun is a slice of yellow pepper.

Found this in my photos:

Weather map showing very cold temperatures in Minnesota. Under it, Minnesota in the summer, very very hot. The caption says "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my other worst."

I think it’s like leaves on deciduous trees. When they export chlorophyll in the fall it leaves a bunch of red pigments behind. Tbh this just looks brown.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 24. Two backlit zinnias in a small jar on the windowsill.

Two backlit zinnias. One is small and orange and is facing left, the other is larger, pink, and is facing away. The window is smudgy so you can’t clearly see through it.

#ArtAdventCalendar. Then and now bouquets of carrot flowers and some kind of mustard.

A bouquet of carrot and some kind of mustard flowers , the carrot flowers are a flat array of small white flowers and the mustards are a pure yellow. The curious viewer will see a spread of zinnia flowers dessicating in the background.

A thoroughly dried out bouquet of carrot and mustard flowers on a table close to a wall.
