Patterns: "In Spiral Carpets" from Sparty

'In Spiral Carpets'

A log's cross grain appears as twisted ridges that corkscrew along its length, creating a helical pattern in the moss carpeted wood

This image captures a detailed and intimate perspective of a fallen, moss-covered log serving as a bridge between terrestrial and aquatic realms. The fallen giant, likely an oak or beech tree, lies horizontally across the frame, its weathered surface a complex tapestry of survival and decay. A thick, vibrant carpet of emerald-green moss clings tenaciously to the wood, its soft, velvety texture contrasting sharply with the deep, cavernous ridges and jagged, splintered grain of the ancient bark. Sunlight, filtering through an unseen forest canopy, dances across the log in a rhythmic pattern of brilliant highlights and rich, velvety shadows. To the left, the water's surface is a masterpiece of kinetic energy and light. Ripples, stirred by a gentle breeze, break the reflection of the surrounding lush greenery into a shimmering mosaic of blues, deep forest greens, and brilliant white glints. This liquid mirror reflects the overhanging branches and the vibrant foliage on the far bank, creating a sense of boundless depth and a seamless connection between the forest and the water. The clarity of the water allows a glimpse into the mysterious world below, where the submerged part of the log disappears into the dark, cool depths. To the right of the log, the water takes on a different character. Here, a dense, neon-green layer of common duckweed and algae forms a tranquil, almost solid-looking carpet. This vibrant floating garden is punctuated by the dark, emerging forms of smooth river rocks and the shadows cast by the log itself. The transition between the clear, rippling water and this still, emerald expanse is stark, highlighting the diverse micro-ecosystems coexisting within this single scene. The entire composition is framed by the soft, out-of-focus backdrop of a thriving forest, with delicate, light-catching leaves and dense, shadowy undergrowth that together create a profound sense of peace and untamed natural beauty.

Awesome ways to clear out leftovers and veggies, including clippings for broth. For me, it's usually lettuce or spinach that's uncrisping in the crisper, or tiny tomatoes wrinkling up. There are recipes for lettuce soup out there!

“Zero Waste Soup” is a great way to use up any leftovers and veggies that are starting to wilt in your fridge and avoid food waste.

Old buildings and ancient trees have their own stories to tell; you just need to listen. This one I call "Weathered Witness" from an abandoned service station. #BlueSkyArtShow #wood #EastCoastKin #photographersofbluesky #weatheredwood #abstractart #abandoned

"If you choose not to find joy in the snow you will have less joy in your life but the same amount of snow."

Lovely that serene scenes like this one are being captured to remind us of the season's beauty and its special time of reflection.

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge was my afternoon destination today. While the ocean has cleaned the beach below the high tide line, there is a lot of snow in the refuge.

It's beautiful.

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth.

Mesmerizing.
I could imagine someone like Alex Colville making a painting of these big fluffy flakes falling, comfortably viewed from inside the house with a big mug of cocoa.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Follow along!
A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.
