Lis's Project 365

This pelican was part of a display in one of the window cases at work. It was my favorite such display, and now I regret never taking a picture of it, since it has been taken down. But at least I’ve got the pelican.

I was glad to see T. Rex today. He got removed not too long ago, and I didn’t know where he’d gone. Glad to see he just got moved.

a puffed-up pufferfish skin. not something you see every day.

at first, when I walked by this little pile on the boardwalk, I thought someone had thrown up. But no, it’s just a pile of nuts, seeds and dried fruits. Maybe it’s for the gulls? or the pigeons? No idea.

This car has been parked at the library for weeks. Not cool–the snowbanks have already eliminated a number of spaces, so it’s more difficult than usual to find a spot. I mentioned it to someone and she sort of shrugged. Useful.

Doug and I went snowshoeing today for the first time this season.  Part of the trail was still fresh so we had to break it–no easy task. The snow has a crust on top now, and while the snowshoes keep you from sinking in up to your hip, you still sink in a bit, so it was tough going. But still fun and a good workout.

Our walk came to an end when we reached this obstacle.

Went to see my friend Mike perform in Shear Madness, which is always a good time. And Mike was fantastic.  He informed us that this wallpaper pattern is actually called “Shear Madness.”

one of my colleagues brought these tasty Valentine’s cookies to a meeting today. Apparently, there were lots of choices for the messages, but most were not appropriate for work.

Ice storms make the trees look beautiful, but they sure make one hell of a mess on roads and sidewalks. That should be planned better.
