July  2001
30		medium	The colors have not been modified and the green didn't seem to come from a mold.  I think it's raccoon poop, but I have no idea what he might have eaten.  I wonder if the nuclear medicine folks at Emory left the back door open.
29		medium	It's odd.   I can't really identify what it was that appealed to me about this scene.
28		medium	A magnolia bud that was blown off the tree before it matured.  The detail is amazing.  The tan stalk and the head look  mamalian, with fine "fur."  The portion of the stalk just below the seed head could pass for part of a dinosaur.
27		medium	Look closely at a mango and this is what you see.  It's like a combination of a NASA image of a volcano on Mars and one of Madonna's bras.
26		medium	What if the moon rose with color like this?
25		medium	Strawberry pie baked from a recipe for peach pie from General George Patton's niece.
24		medium	Peaches doing hard time in downtown Atlanta.  This is the only peach tree I've ever seen in the city.  It's next door to the Atlanta Municipal Market, a few blocks from Peachtree Street.
21		medium	Roots on a bonsai maple tree at the monastery in Conyers.
20		medium	They were feeding on the fermented sap of a tulip poplar tree.  Even I could smell it from ten yards away.
19		medium	Manuel's at Highland and North.  I ran into Jimmy Carter there a few years back.
18		medium	It could be a deer's foreleg, but it's the stem of an immature magnolia grandiflora seed cone.
16		medium	Dragonfly wings.  Get close enough and they look like cathedral windows.  Consider the fact that they support flight  and they become more wondrous than any building window.
16		medium	The clock on Florence the stove.  Looks like a '57 Ford, doesn't it?
15		medium	More raindrops on the same tulip poplar leaf.
14		medium	Raindrops on a tulip poplar leaf, acting as a convex lens.  I've read that it's possible to use a droplet of water clinging to a pine needle to focus the sun's light to start a fire.
13		medium	Zebra longwing, the Florida state butterfly.
12		medium	It's the corner of a stale Saltine cracker I tossed into the yard for the birds, with a fast-moving ant on the edge.  The serrations look a lot like barnacles.
11		medium	He/she/it/they is/are about the diameter of a pencil eraser.
10		medium	Sunset on the east end of Ship Island.  An hour earlier, a line of 40 pelicans passed in perfect alignment, evenly spaced, flying three feet above the water.  Poetry on the wing.
9		medium	The butterfly ginger lilies are blooming again and the air is laced with scent.
8		medium	Katie on the beach.  She celebrated her 12th birthday last Monday.
7		medium	Speckled trout from Ship Island.
6		medium	House finch nest on Anne's and David's porch.
5		medium	The underside of the mushroom.
4		medium	Mushroom in the yard at Ocean Springs.
3		medium	Blossom from that mimosa-like weed that grows on Front Beach.
2		medium	Hermit crab.
