    “I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment; and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
    - George Bernard Shaw

    There are four more here, though I don’t think that they’re as good.  I’m working on seeing things from different perspectives, so expect some unusual pictures.

    Spotlight: Autumn

    By Liss | October 9, 2008

    All of these were taken in North Seattle, on a long, rambling walk with a bus ride in between. The full set can be found here.

    Autumn is my favorite season and it’s somewhat rare for us to have a really dry time during it. Frequently, the leaves are rained and blown off the trees before they have a chance to turn much. The rains are supposed to return today, though.

    Enjoy!

    Pteridology: Study of ferns and other pteridophytes (seedless vascular plants)

    Today our family took a walk along the Coal Creek Trail. It was wet, muddy, green, and covered with fallen leaves. Yum.
