Writing the text and uploading the photos is not so useful without also posting them, it seems.
Today was filled with an all-day meeting, but the roomful of visiting and local scientists did manage to get outside for a while, to check out the local watershed from top…

… to bottom.

This is a nasty invasive – [...]

At long last:

That photo shows the most accurate color, but this isn’t bad.

And I do like the lighting in this third shot.

The black tulips are lovely but hard to photograph well. For images, the white tulips stole the show.

I didn’t do a whole lot this weekend. The cold I’d been fighting off all week kicked [...]

On New Year’s Eve, I walk through the site of the State College festivities on my way to work and take pictures of the ice sculptures.
