Even though there are millions of these blooming images, they are still beautiful!
Spring Wall Vines
Contrasts, Fine Art-Nature, Nature-FloraThe exterior southern wall of our school shop has a wall full of these vines … I like the little sticky pads that support the vines on the wall – I think they inspired Spiderman.

Mt.St.Helens Trip
Fine Art-Nature, Fun, Hiking, Nature-Flora, Nature-Scenic, PeopleSomething a bit different for this post. I went on a field trip to Mt.St.Helen’s with our Geography 12 class as a driver/chaperone. I made up this slide show which seemed to be enjoyed by folks. It is a bit long – just over 6 minutes, but the music moves it along quite nicely (“Water into Wine” by Bruce Cockburn) and the transitions are good. Ironicly, we couldn’t actually see Mt.St.Helens due to heavy fog, but we got to visit few places such as Lave Canyon and Ape Caves. So give it a shot – just for a minute – then you can turn it off and resume your busy on-line life. haha
