Exhalations

Because of Pen Pal, I pay attention to volcanic eruptions. Yesterday Mt. Sinabung, one of Indonesia's 130 active volcanoes, erupted. The Guardian has a photo essay here. Two photos from that set below:

Meanwhile, where I live, the land has fever-and-ague, going from deep, deep freeze to bursts of heat, during which it sweats and pants--not steam, though; just water vapor.

During this brief melt, the secret roads of voles and mice are revealed. Their motto is a straight line is an abomination

So beautiful, and yet so deadly.

Hope you're staying warm.

I finished Pen Pal last night, unfortunately while vomiting and dealing with diarrhea and cramps (mine). Despite all that, reading it was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to doing what I can to promote it. Starting later today.

I would love to see a volcanic eruption, but I would not want to be caught in the ash fall-out!

I love that motorbike shot but then anything to do with volcanoes fascinates me. I might have been a vulcanogist in a different life!

Yes, a little more of the median would be nice, weather-wise.

Oh, those mice roads are so cool!

There's something forlorn (and spooky) about that motorbike. I love the picture of the vole-track.

That is beautiful.

And that is also beautiful, in the way of awful things.

I saw some mouse trails today, too!

The Lady loves an uprising. ;)

I don't and I do want to see a volcano erupt. I don't and I do. More on the do side of things today, because of the cold, but that will pass.
