Creepy (11 of 365)

Creepy[2011]
I have no clue what this is. I almost always take a photo of the plaque next to exhibits, but for some reason I didn't take a photo of this one.

I think I will settle for creepy fossil.

Repeating Patterns (11 of 365)

Repeating Patterns[2011]
This was a neat experiment station at the Tellus Science Museum which made sound waves visible. It's a tube filled with sand that is attached to a frequency generator. You control the frequency and the volume and the goal is to make the sand vibrate.

This photo was taken with the frequency on low, but the volume high.

The Letter T[2011]
This is a Protostega, or a giant sea turtle. The first fossils of this turtle were found in Kansas, of all places. Their estimated to have reached lengths of up to 10 feet.

This is an enormous copper boulder. It looks so different than the beautiful, polished copper we're used to seeing.

One[2011]

I chose this photo for the theme for two reasons: 1) the solitary leaf amongst the snow and ice, and 2) this is the only photo I took during Atlanta's snow and ice storm a couple of weeks ago.

Foucault's Pendulum at the Tellus Science Museum. The pendulum knocks down a wooden block about every 10 minutes or so. I love watching these anytime I see them.

Holiday Assortment

Here are some random photos from my trip home to Tennessee for Christmas.

Lucy playing in the snow. I was trying to get her to come inside the house. You can see what she thinks of that! Notice her sticking out her tongue at me!

It's the view I grew up with at home in Tennessee. It's one of my favorite photos.

This is how the same field looked on Christmas Day . . . .

In The Distance (3 of 365)

In The Distance[2011]
This was one of my last views of Colorado as my friends drove me to the Denver airport. It was a beautiful day!

Through a Window (2 of 365)

Through A Window[2011]
On New Year's Day a group of us drove to Idaho Springs, Colorado to visit the Indian Hot Springs. Holy cow! It was so relaxing soaking in the 104 degree water. It was a perfect way to wind down after two nights of New Year's Eve celebrations!

After our soak and a yummy BBQ lunch, we headed back to Boulder. This was one of several beautiful views on the way down the mountain.

The Letter S (1 of 365)

The Letter S[2011]
Colorado is serious about its snow, y'all! I spent the long weekend over the New Year holiday visiting with friends in Boulder, Colorado. I arrived on Wednesday, and on Thursday we woke up to snow! All told, Boulder ended up with about 10 inches of snow. While beautiful, it was certainly not what this Georgia Peach was used to!
