Tahiti 2005

In February, 2005 a scientific party departed from Papetee, Tahiti to sail into the roaring forties and fearsome fifties to hunt for 55 million year old sediment. These are my favourite pictures of more than 300 taken documenting this adventure.

Spring makes up for lost time

Since the weather warmed..in the last couple of days, flowers have been popping up all over the garden. Bulbs I forgot I even planted, bulbs that didn't even flower last year. I guess it is hardly surprising... chemical reactions..metabolism goes faster at warmer temperatures and the temperatures in the 70s and 80s definitely qualify as warm. The bulbs I planted in the big pots a few weeks ago are started to poke through the soil.
