The Flowering Spider Plant


My wife gave me a spider plant for my office a few months ago. I have never had a spider plant before that I can remember. I really like watching it grow. It has already produced 3 plantlets. The photo shows one of the plantlets, a flower, and a seed pod. If this flower is pollinated, it will produce a seed pod too. The leaves in the background are from a plastic tree. The shoot that the plantlet is on is about 20" long, and seems to like "leaning" on the plastic tree.

I Like Fluffy Clouds

I took this photo at the place where I work. I looked out my windows and thought that the clouds looked cool. So I stepped out the front door a took a couple of photos. I darkened the blue of the sky a little. Can you see any images or shapes in the clouds? Maybe it's just late, but it looks like Mickey Mouse is in there. :)

Escalante

This photo was taken in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah. The monument is huge. It would probably take more than a day just to drive on all the paved roads that wander through out the monument. The streaks on the rock face are mineral deposts left as water has run down the rock over time.

Anasazi


This photo was taken inside a replica of an Anasazi shelter at the Anisazi State Park museum in Bolder, Utah. They must have been a short people as the roof is only about 5 feet hight.
