Spiky Pods

By phoenix | December 1, 2007

The pod picture I took a couple of days back reminded me of these pictures I took a while ago of decidedly less friendly-looking pods.

These are alien indeed.

If you were a tree, what kind would you be?*

By phoenix | November 27, 2007

I have been tagged to participate in a meme by snarkattack. I’m quite flattered by the attention. I’m supposed to share with you seven random or weird things about myself.

If everything goes as planned, I’m not really here

By phoenix | November 4, 2007

That is to say, barring any unforseen act of nature, god or some other force working against me, I am currently relaxing in a hotel at the beach after watching the Police in concert and you are looking at a photograph of a spider that I got quite close to before realizing that I don’t [...]
