I too especially love the last one, of almost-sunset. And I’ve always loved the poems of Theodore Roethke. So earthy and sensual and luminous, such startling imagery — orchids as “devouring infants,” spilling out of their mossy cradles .. wow!

I just bought tickets to Momix-Botanica coming here to Nashville in March! Can’t wait.

This is how the inside of a computer ‘sounds’ like to me..

Kind of every piece doing it’s thing and it is magic..

(So I have some imagination…)

In Orchids, I love those “mossy cradles,” those “Lips neither dead nor alive” & “Loose ghostly mouths. Breathing.” Breathing!

Gorgeous photos, Ann. Yesterday I saw a marsh hare hopping, two butterflies flitting & three cardinals swooping. No partridge in a tree, but the butterflies’ wings were pear-yellow.

I’ll just expect you to fly right across the country next time my computer goes belly up and needs a repair. : )

I’m interested in how things work too, but wouldn’t have the ambition to take on such a task.

Have fun with it,it can be a lucrative business.

It is lotsa fun to see how things work inside and how darn smart we humans are!!!…

Enjoy the day,
Annie

Will you be able to repair computers when you’re certified?

Take care,
Annie

It is a damp, rainy, cold, humid day in Northern California…and a full moon and something about a high tide… and I do not know what else to put on, besides the three layers of clothing, a jacket, a hat with a pompom on the top that makes me look weird… but keeps my head warm… (some say cute as it is much kinder)… and swear there are ‘rivers’ on the roads. Like rivers!!! coming from? must be that high tide thing!.

This computer lab is kept cold…. we take computers apart and some get worked on… some are taken into parts that are useable… as I am working on this certification called A+… for something to do, while I decide what to do next. And learning all sorts of things from the inside of the machines… all sorts of things and making movies of the inside of those machines….of things that are most interesting to me right now, but will be history pretty soon. This place reminds me of that NASA assignment I did in the wind tunnel (swear), as it felt just as cold and just as weird. The folks taking this class are very bright and young young young..and I have a good time listening to their thinking process. But they pick up concepts with the same flare that Holly wears her hoody or her red jacket. That is how smart they are. And enjoyed seeing President Obama meeting with the Facebook kid, the Oracle giant, the Magician Steven Jobs for dinner last night. It is an amazing mix of events. And that is only in one part of the world. Stay warm and stay dry and if I ever finish my little video of goings on inside computers, I will hang it on YouTube….
