These red poppies were everywhere among the ruins of Pompeii. Just gorgeous.
In the ruins of Pompeii: a wall on the left, scrubby grass where the floor would be, the sky on the distance (upper right) with cumulonimbus clouds, and red poppies in the foreground.

Alfreda found a burrow of baby bunnies. She gently pulled three of them out and was mothering them by licking them all over 😂 seems very un-terrier like…

Chicago at night. I live it when grand spaces make you feel small… or like a part of something bigger.
A photo of Chicago at night. Tall buildings lit up reflected in the river. A bridge is in the middle.

One of my favorite types of spaces.
A deciduous forest in the fall. Sun filters through yellow and orange leaves.

Section 3e of the NSF Act - “…and to avoid undue concentration of such research and education.”

If you want to read for yourself the charge that Congress gave the NSF: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

In exercising the authority and discharging the functions referred to in the foregoing subsections, it shall be an objective of the Foundation to strengthen research and education in the sciences and engineering, including independent research by individuals, throughout the United States, and to avoid undue concentration of such research and education.
