Here's why I never miss going to galleries or museums when I'm in the middle of nowhere: the compositions of nature, the element of surprise, the arresting abstractions, the perfectamundo of it all....
"For the bee, honey is the ultimate reality. It represents the fulfillment of her life mission, the triumph over her enemies, the continuity of the hive, the justification for working herself to death. Honey is to bees what money in the bank is to people—a measure of prosperity and well-being. But there is nothing abstract or symbolic about honey, as there is about money, which has no intrinsic value. There is more real wealth in a pound of honey, or a load of manure for that matter, than all the currency in the world. We often destroy the world's real wealth to create an illusion of wealth, confusing symbol and substance."—Wm. Longgood, The Queen Must Die

Good morning, nature. Is great seeing that pieces of art in the morning at my office. It reminds me that there are other worlds in that one. And that I can be a Red Almiral if I try.
Say hello to the bees. And please, to Sancha and to the deers and the rabbits out there.
Is any body out there?

Beautiful photos... Fit the mood of the music I was listening to this morning: Sufjan Stevens' Michigan CD...
