jellyfish

i know now they're blossoms, but my first reaction seeing David Chihuly's glass ceiling in the lobby of the Bellagio a couple of weeks ago was slack jaw admiration at the most beautiful rendering of jellyfish (in hand-blown glass) i had ever seen.  The ocean enthusiast in me i think.

Vancouver favoured us with a with a sun showered start to autumn, hiking her skirt a bit to show us what we were missing in June and most of July.  This view is this morning looking north across southeast false creek.

though sale of Alberta fossils seems to be tightly controlled, if not outright forbidden, Drumheller shops have no shortage of fossils obtained from other jurisdictions in the USA and beyond.  I indulged myself in a few purchases, including this little Devonian trilobite.

still got nothing

not much and too much going on

i've been absent blogwise for a bit, distracted by family friends and work, damn their eyes.  been finishing some worthwhile books.... i'll try to float some new thoughts with the next tide.
