Illustrations of Snowflakes (1863)
The illustrative plates from Snowflakes: a Chapter from the Book of Nature (1863), a collection of poems, extracts, anecdotes and reflections on the theme of snow and the snowflake. According to the preface of the book, apart from the first few geometrical figures at the top of the first plate, which show the primary geometrical forms under which the snow-vapor crystalizes, all the forms shown are “representations of individual crystals, actually observed and sketched with the aid of the microope.

Well, I choose to stay away from the more commercial aspects of this season.
I prefer to reserve Christmas celebration to just a few days.....I do love this time of year though, and wanted to participate, so I decided to post some photos of the natural beauty of the season in my neck of the woods.

TRUMP TEETERS ON THE BRINK OF PSYCHOSIS

I was rolling through my "where I'm quoted" page, when I saw a comment that Maisie made to me, where she challenges me to find anything that Trump has d wrong since he came into the White House........and I thought...wow, it's true, she and the other Trump sycophants really are under a spell.....the spell of a man with severe mental illness, a man teetering on the brink of psychosis. It was obvious during the election, but if you want to start after inauguration, that's fine.......There was the crowd size.....remember that? That was when we knew.....and every damn day since then, sometimes several times a day, he has illustrated vividly that he is extremely unwell......COO COO FOR COCO PUFFS, actually.
Oh, he's got a veneer of sanity that can fool those who want to be fooled,and the craziness takes up so much space and is so chaotic and fast moving that it's easy to forget from day to the next, what happened the week or even the day before.
But if you download of those mind-map aps and start with that crowd-size delusion and continue through, day-by-day to now, it becomes clear. Oh, he can go a few days without a major psychotic episode, but when he gets stressed, it comes hot and fast.
It's funny, isn't it, how people like that can be so persuasive.......There have been other people like that who stand out in history.....Mentally disturbed people on the brink of Psychosis whose intensity and personality has persuaded large numbers of people to follow them.....It has never ended well.

Some People
Isn’t it strange some people make
You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!
But when you’re with some other ones,
It’s stranger still to find
Your thoughts as thick as fireflies
All shiny in your mind!
~Rachel Field
