Photos from the Rimeling Center

I was going to try and get more pictures, but there was so much going on and then we were doing the practice and you aren't supposed to do frivolous things (which I figured included touristy picture taking) and then Monday morning I was too tired. Next time though, I am thinking that since I have to take a week off anyway, I'll probably fly out Tuesday and back the following Monday or Tuesday.

Front door and yes, it is as heavy as it looks!

I must say I love the juxtaposition of the decaying structures and the new life pushing its way into the world.

Not a bad weekend's work . . .

All fiddly bits from downed trees in the backyard.

Plainly I need more excitement in my life, because I thought that this multi-branched branch from our Chinese Crab-apple was really cool.

On the less cool side of the ledger is the fact that I probably killed Dianne's tree :(
