Of course these are plants with signs of human impact. We are made of dirt ourselves, Adam means as much. So of… Continue reading

Wandering, I saw this
Along Lake Mendota is this weather stressed tree. Great interest in shape and on the roots. Clearly it embodies persistence. Maybe a nice acrylic project. Continue reading
