SNOW - No school today!

Jay took me to the Boston Ballet's Nutcracker for Christmas.  It brought back so many memories of when I danced as a child.  The costumes were amazing and the dancers so graceful.  This photo is of the painting on the stage curtain before it went up for the show.  More photos to come of the Boston Opera House.

Entranced

Thanks to my Philosophy, Ethics, & Education class in grad school a few winters ago, I became entranced with snowshoeing.  We had weekly meetings at my professor's house where his wife made cinnamon rolls and we talked about our views of education.  Afterwards, we would snowshoe around and talk some more.  I thank my professor for giving me another way to enjoy winter.  

A winter walk through the woods shows beauty and brings calmness.

Snowflake Bentley

"Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others.  Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated.  When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost.  Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind."    

~Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley 1925

I hope to someday own a print of his.
