gnofract madness

This morning I played with the Gnofract 4D fractal generator. I had always avoided fractal editing programs because I have less than a profound understanding of fractals. Today, though, I decided to read enough of the instructions to get me started editing images, and had a really good time. I love that open source programmers created a fun bit of software that will provide me with hours of free amusement.

blue jay

Tonight as I was pulling up at the Salvation Army parking lot for free legal clinic night,
I saw a blue jay on a white wooden fence. I took five pictures, and then went in and met with
folks to help them take the next step in seeking volunteers to help them.

I finished the early days of James Herriott book-on-CD in record time.It was a fascinating
story of what it was like to grow up in the "respectable working class" in another place and time. Now I am on to reading about marsupials.

I also walked in Heritage Park in Sachse, where I saw a hawk and meadowlarks, as well as grown men practicing slow-pitch softball.
