Winter Past (a LOT of pictures)

The wings of the dawn, flying into the night

Little sprouts of joy

Gloomy campus, waiting for Spring


My view from the top riser in choir rehearsal


The rainbow stream


I've canvassed here, and here, and here...nearly the whole state


The dam near Bull Shoals State Park


The amazing Word of God


Sanctuary reverie


Rafael rejoices over a littered bottle


The. Best. Haystack. Ever. With real guacamole and salsa and chili beans.


This is what we do when we go to the nature park


Or we watch traffic go by


There's the White River flowing away


Danny takes a selfie with the visiting neighbor poodle


The most guacamole I've ever seen at once. I almost started getting emotional…


Vegan milk and cheese at breakfast


Duncan can fit under the dashboard! 

We learned in class how much fat is in the typical Thanksgiving meal. It grossed us all out, for sure. That's Crisco on the plate.


The super cute mini daffodils that only bloom by our mailbox


When peace like a river attendeth my way…


This daffodil was talkative


And so were their feet. They look like they're having a great conversation.


There is no logical explanation for this picture except that I was imagining what it would look like if a phone took a selfie…


Sarah, finishing up her handmade cutting board. It's beautiful.


The greenhouse is ready for summer


Steven, feeding cafe bread to a captured baby possum

The first frog I've caught in a really long time

The trail in the Bull Shoals Park. It is classified as moderately strenuous. 

My sister, looking for the letter "s" found in nature for graphic design class

Richard, looking for the letter "r"

Sidewalk under snow

Three guys pacing the hall, reading for class. I don't know how they could concentrate and keep from laughing

Mr. Polk

Boy's side of campus

Straight shot down the power lines

Duck footprints

Do ducks' feet get cold, I wonder?

My house is up there somewhere

Snow even makes ugly things look sort of nice

It's hard to photograph sparkles

Strato-Cumulo Cirrus

At first I thought the tree was in the way,

Then I realized the greenhouses were in the way

I just realized Holly is an evergreen

The hill above the stream

Pine

The tree has snow in its pockets!

Textures 

Cathedral in the forest

Stained glass

The big old tree 

Not sure what it is but nothing dares to grow nearby

Holly is pretty resilient

I wonder what creature this was?

It's sure dead now

A pretty two-toned flint

Duncan is unsure about climbing a rotten tree

Sharon is ready to go

"If we fall, you can give evidence to the forensics dept." - Rafael

Duncan is not used to country activities

This tree is pretty well camouflaged

Duncan, Sharon, Danny, Sunni, and Rafael

and me

We look like trees…

And they all come down

and we tramped back to the car, singing at the top of our lungs

Non vascular plant

Pretty scarf

Grace

A log, pouring itself out

We head back to the car

As Rafael appoints himself the Color Guard

Sharon gives him the Color

And they march off

Then we ate haystacks

And decided to drive to the next state up, just for fun

Sharon, whacking Duncan with her hair

My energetic team

Selfies

Duncan thought something was funny

More selfies

Gru?

Learning to play the ukulele

After continuing on into Missouri

We found Sasquatch

And made friends

Good friends

Really good friends 

The end. :  )
