intricate

selby, you never fail to impress me.
today: used my recent knowledge of how to make a rue, an infinite amount of emails, studying for microbiology, and hopefully celebrating a coworker later.
currently: a plum sweatshirt, music by phantogram, and sunshine streaming through my open door on the second floor.

fuyu kaki

my two next-door-neighbors have persimmon trees in their front yards.

they noticed i took some persimmons, and left a note kindly asking me not to.

i have one ripening on the kitchen table now, and i can't wait to eat it...

Arabidopsis thaliana

Arabidopsis thaliana is a "model organism" in the field of botany. a member of the Brassicaceae, the plant grows worldwide and is becoming increasingly important in plant genomics.
white-on-white, sweater-on-sweater. continuing my obsession with sweater-shorts...

somnambulation

still hot enough to post these.

for me: keelboat sailing, syntax trees, species-being, ssu rRNA, and a new pair of sunglasses.

dreamy whites and pales. here's a song to reflect that:

triste

i wish...

these are actual butterfly wings, which returns me to the theme "sad, but beautiful."

“You cut up a thing that's alive and beautiful to find out how it's alive and why it's beautiful, and before you know it, it's neither of those things, and you're standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it.”
