The Moon...in Pictures

"The moon is a silver pin-head vast, That holds the heaven's tent-hangings fast."

-William R. Alger

A few nights ago I was driving home and struck by the beauty of a full moon. How many times have you looked up at the moon in awe? One of the things I like to think about when gazing at the moon is this - that as much as man has changed over time, thousands of years ago, "primitive" man looked up with wonder in much the same way.

I particularly enjoyed this set called "I heart the moon" by Ben.

Winter Wonderland

Snow. I have a love/hate relationship with it. On one hand, it's laborious and annoying to constantly clear my looooong driveway...day after day (especially here in Madison, WI where we just broke our record for most snowfall in December!).

But on the other, it's so, so beautiful. I cherish the days when the snow is falling down in thick batches and the world is blanketed in soft, radiant white. The following are a few images that remind me of what I love about winter.
