I love these tiny #flowers. They are about 1 cm across. And in the spring there are thousands of them on the plant. #shrubs #gardening #photography #macro

Students sometimes ask what my favorite rock type is. I always say granite. It may be common and relatively simple, but I just like the diversity that it holds and the collection of crystals that make each one somewhat unique. #granite #rocks #geology #photography

My cat rolling in the mulch. She came to us as a stray, about a year old and starving. She walked in our house when I left the back door open, I gave her some of our dog’s food and she hasn’t left. #cat #tabby #caturday
