Not much exciting happening around here lately. Mostly I've been working, reading (and sometimes commenting on) Journals, playing pogo, surfing the web, and trying to keep up with the message boards. Of course, that last would be easier if some strings didn't go over 100 messages in just a couple of hours <LOL>When surfing the web, there are a couple of sites that I visit frequently. One of these is the National Geographic site. They offer a lot of interesting articles, and often offer stunning pictures that you can download (for free!) to use as wallpaper on your PC. While visiting this site recently, I came across this page. It has some stunning close-up pictures of snowflakes. Wow! How beautiful and delicate they are when seen individually... And what havoc they can cause when they group together! With a large amount of the country blanketed in the cold, wet, white stuff, I thought this would be an appropriate time to offer up this site for your viewing pleasure!!
Oh, and if you are interested seeing what else I do to stay busy, stop over here at my new Journal and take a look at the pictures of my latest afghan in progress!

WOW! I love this! Thanks for bringing it to my attention (well, and everyone else's too. Bruce
I thought the pogo badges were pretty easy this week...especially that Atlantis slot game. It's my new favorite game! Take care, hon. Russ
It's getting pretty fancy around here. I again have to bow to the tech goddess of journal land :o)I love that background! Ok, I'm off to check out some of those websites. Thank you!

Love the snowflakes! Thanks!
Those twirling snowflakes are hypnotic! I can amuse myself staring at them for hours! LOL.
Full-time job, computer genius, web surfing, message boarding, journal commenting and a penchant for Friday night sci-fi; OK I'm exhausted! Thanks for the link to National Geographic, my kids are bound to love it!

Thanks for all the wonderful sites! They're really great, and so appropriate too!
And thanks for the advice on Zoey. I actually bought a baby-gate from Walmart awhile back, but she ate that too. Then we got another one and now she jumps over it. She completely clears it with inches to spare. I think I have a serious agility dog in the making! :-)
Have a great day. And keep writing. I love your journal! :-)
The pictures were beautiful! Thank you for sharing the link. Have you seen the snow pictures that Kat (walk with me) has in her journal? Beautiful pictures in her journal. She's the editors #2 pick - should've been #1! Anyway, I came by to thank you for visiting my journal, Mamarazzi - which should've been #2 instead of #1!! LOL ANyway, thank you for visiting and I happen to like eclectic minds - I can relate.

This entry reminded me of something my daughter said the other day...it was snowing (like it was everywhere else)...and she said vaguely, as if she was on the verge of greatness, "yes, they (snowflakes) really are all different from each other...", and she was about to prove to me how she knew that, but then we got off the subject. LOL! Now I'll never know!
I'll be sure to go visit those other sites now, on my way...
How beautiful and delicate they are when seen individually.....and what havoc they can cause when they group together!".......Were you referring to snowflakes...or the human heart!..........Yes, indeed....there is our our refelection within every element of nature!
Great entry! Marc :)
We get National Geographic in the mail. It's a wonderful magazine and you're right...the photos are beautiful. Went to your other journal, looks great to me!
WOW! Those are some amazing photos. I love snowflakes...they fascinate me...like tiny sculptures. Thanks for putting this in your journal. ~Dona

I don't know how I missed this entry unless my alerts weren't working that day. This is too cool of a site! Amazing how cameras can photograph something so small and delicate. Sheila
