"The enormous room on the ground floor faced towards the north. Cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for all the tropical heat of the room itself, a harsh thin light glared through the winds, hungrily seeking some draped lay figure, some pallid shape of academic goose-flesh, but finding only the glass and nickel and bleakly shining porcelain of a labratory. Wintriness responded to wintriness. . . . .
'And this,' said the Director opening the door, 'is the Fertilizing Room.'"
- Aldous Huxlely

Looking
Finally got close enough to see and photograph one of the many deer that wander over our property. (Seven seen yesterday, two today.)
In Dust Real
My goal is to use my Corel Painter more in the future. (OK, it was my goal in the past too but . . . )
