Back in the '70's before there was so much light pollution at night from neighboring towns, we could lie on the ground at the farm in Tennessee and just be overwhelmed by the stars. The Milky Way was a nightly source of amazement. Now we can hardly see it. Oddly, I can still see the Andromeda galaxy as a fuzzy blur on a good night here in Huntsville.
I enjoy art and like to look for it in the natural world. My craft interests include handspinning and most of the fiber arts, especially knitting, weaving, and working with paper. Other important things are my family and friends, my pets, nature, literature, poetry, music, history, birding, star gazing, museums...and the list goes on. In other times and places, I've been an archaeologist, taught anthropology, and worked in a living history museum, so I find all sorts of things to hold my interest and keep me entertained. I hope to share some of these things with you.
Pictures like this always amaze me. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhen we see the imensity of the universe it brings home to us how very small a part of it we are.
