exploring nature’s infinite connections
Musical notes It seems Winter has been with us in Michigan for well over a month now, despite its unofficial start today in this region of the world. I often wondered why can't we have fall colors start a month early?! 🙂 On second thought, that would probably...
Processing bear photos continues.... I thought this was an interesting portrait in how you do not see the bear's eyes, but my attention is drawn almost immediately to the claws. I wondered if this was an instinctual reaction to a threat. Similar to the way people...
