Sylvilagus floridanus, also known as 'opal'

After thousands of years of trying to represent the human body, we come to this. Could their be any more appropriate way to give us the gift of the heart, the brain? These soft little pieces of artistic revelry sum up so much about us: as animals, and as being also uniquely human.

(original cabbage patch kid?)

Jane your picture reminded me of this type of image--vegetables that say 'fertility' held in front of a woman's womb. This image uses cabbage but I think the turnips are pretty nice, too. I can envision a complete anatomical drawing of the inside of our body, all our internal organs, being represented by various fruits and vegetables. I suppose the intestines would have to be long English cucumbers, or possible limp asparagus. What's strange about this drawing is that there her baby's umbilical cord is attached to the cabbage.

a thousand winged apologies

I feel like such a disappointment to everyone. So I offer this polaroid (yes, I splurged on polaroid film to cheer myself up) of these amazing seabirds we found by the sea..

Thank goodness for the sea-- it is always there, offering such solace with its sweet smelling air that fills the soul.

Oh, I miss you two. Love, love, love, from the land of flowers.
