Keep Dreaming

I’ve always been fascinated with designers who push limits far beyond the need of society.

Climate of Denial

Al Gore made headlines today for publicly lambasting President Obama for his lackluster performance when it comes to climate change legislation. I think it’s about time, and I applaud him for calling our president out for being weak, non-commital and frankly, irresponsible for not doing more when it comes to our environmental protection.  Don’t get [ READ MORE ]

Adiantum

My favorite fern that is found all over the Pacific Northwest. I’ve known it as the five fingered fern, but now I am more educated. It’s delicate and nimble-looking, and definitely stands out from the huge majority of other, more hardy ferns found in the forest. Adiantum (pronounced /ˌædiˈæntəm/),the maidenhair ferns, is a genus of [ READ MORE ]
