Barter Books. Sunrise Sunset. There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them. - Jo Walton India Yemen Sunrise and SunsetI’ll tell you how the sun rose, A ribbon at a time.The steeples swam in amethyst,The news like squirrels ran. The hills untied their bonnets,The bobolinks begun.Then I said softly to myself,That must have been the sun!” But how he set, I know not.There seemed a purple stileWhich little yellow boys and girlsWere climbing all the while Till when they reached the other side,A dominie in grayPut gently up the evening bars,And led the flock away.- Emily Dickinson Morocco We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness.
Italy Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon fields; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgandy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries.”- Jack Kerouac, On the Road Burma Happiness is the light on the water. Ethiopia Mumbai, India. 40 Things To Say Before You Die. January 2012. Notes on dissections for you all I regard myself as lucky on this course, because I have done a year's worth of botanical taxonomy training... I kind of know what I am looking for when dissecting a flower. I know, for example that most flowers from the Rose family - Strawberry's, Roses, plums etc... have a hypanthium and I know the different types of arrangement in which the ovules can be arranged in an ovary.
So before I go to Bali, I have loaded up some pictures from the best taxonomy book around with the hope that it will help all those who are doing dissections while I am away. This is the book: So we have all seen this type of diagram? Good! But there is so much more: The diagram above shows you what it 'should' look like if there is a hypanthium present... This shows how the gynoecium (female bit) can be arranged. This is how different anthers can empty themselves of pollen (dehiscence). Again, different dehiscence types on anthers. Different arrangements of petals for a floral diagram. The School of Life - Good Ideas for Everyday Life.

How to Care for Introverts (in 12 easy steps) (Via Tumblr) I say this often but I’m pretty sure I was a cat in a previous life. If I believed in reincarnation , I’d be purring right now. You know how there are two kinds of people in this world: dog people and cat people. And, well, other people too. Not just people who like cats (or dogs) but people who cats (or dogs). People who need to be alone often, who are jealous of their space and privacy, who purr unexpectedly or stop purring for no apparent reason (who knows, maybe they just spotted a mouse); who never come when you call them but expect you to answer immediately when they call you.
On the wiser side of town, they look like they’ve learned to become friends with their solitude . I could raise my hand here and say “me, me”, but the older I get, the less black & white I see the world, but more like a faded sepia.
