Sunlight

This is the first non-rainy day in what seems like weeks. I know two weeks ago we had several sunny days in a row, but I was in the office the whole time (like most of today, I’m afraid). Weekends: rainy. Evenings: rainy. I’m surprised my house isn’t engulfed in moss by now.

I took advantage of the lack of precipitation to snap a few pictures on the way to work this morning. (All with the cheap point-and-shoot, an HP CB350 I’m progressively unhappier with.)

Look: rain makes flowers!

I’m sure you can tell it rained overnight, but we’ve now had hours of sunlight. I’d be gardening if I weren’t still at work setting up a big project. Even without the ability to play outside (and it’s supposed to rain all weekend again), the sunlight is still much appreciated.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
