I've been a fan of tangobaby's wonderful photography for some time now. It's obvious that she loves her City.
I don't have her talent or her camera, but I love my City too.
I was walking home from dinner, and stumbled upon this:
The reason I've wanted to own a camera for a long time was so that I would never miss opportunities when they arose. I vividly remember my brother's shadow projecting on an old stone wall at sunset, framed by a curtain of lilac flowers. I always regretted not having been able to capture that moment on anything else but in my mind.
So, today, when I passed the greenhouses and saw the mimosa in bloom, I didn't hesitate.
All of the flowers inside were different.
The mimosa smelled heavenly. It looked surreal, like a tree out of a storybook. Fluffy flowers rained down onto the sidewalk. Mimosas are Mother's favorite flowers.
My home away from home, the Lab:
The Tower is 307 feet tall, sequoias are 370 feet tall. I don't really understand the customary system, but those are the numbers I learned; I know the Tower is tall, so sequoias must be really, really tall.
Dinosaurs busy building a new home for the department of Biological Sciences, under the watchful eye of the Telescope.
Turtles minding their business at the Turtle Pond.
A spaceship?
Beauty is everywhere, if only you look for it.

Sequoias are absolutely awesome and really, really, really tall! The feeling when one stands underneath one is beyond my powers of description.
I wonder if beauty is there only if you look for it or there regardless. I'm reminded of the question as to whether noise is made by a tree falling if there is no one to hear it.
