When I am awake
alone
it's a quiet time to learn from the internet.

I'm staying at Dad's place. He's still in hospital.

Doing OK, but he is old.

I know it seems scattered.
Connections seem clear to me one minute, crazy the next.

I have not been so distracted since I was a young mother.

You have a wise way of looking at things, though you say you think they seem crazy connections at some time...
Good luck with your father.

Beautiful images. I am preparing a Minerals exhibit and have encouraged the participating artists to view nature's artwork as inspiration.
