macro/micro

I'm becoming more and more obsessed with the world of macro photography. I love how a whole world opens up by things we normally would ignore. Take for instance an extremely close up photo of a mosquito. It really make me think of the places this one has been and has seen. The last place this fellow ended up was in the middle of a botched bank job in Key West during a Thursday during Spring Break. So much confusion that day...

Monday

No matter what era or language it's still good ol Monday. Today, I'll be thinking about the muscular system and it's ties to the pentagon. However, if this is too esoteric and frightening perhaps you can wonder about the secret bird watching society vice president that lives 3 doors down. All you know is that the deliveries come every three days like clockwork and aluminum containers of various sizes are exchanged.
