Botanicking



Cet apres-midi, I visited the Cornell Plantations. The herb gardens, arboretum, and flower beds were truly lovely and welcome sensuous distractions from all my reading. I went a little squirrely with my camera and took far too many flower pictures.


For the second time since my arrival in Ithaca, I saw fireflies! At first, I thought I was seeing double or noticing little stars in my field of vision (perhaps the effects of an overheated brain?). But then I realized what I was looking at - tiny flying gems flickering amidst grass and bushes.
