Second.

Featuring in this post: Tottenham Court Road's emergency stairs (my favourite part of the London Underground) and some amazing rock formations from the geology section of the Natural History Museum.

I need to remember to write things down, I can't remember any of these elements/rocks.

If you don't look, you won't see

I went for a short walk in the arboretum this afternoon, taking photo's for my new project. I have since decided that moss is one of the most beautiful things, and no-one ever seems to pay it attention unless they're scraping it off the wall. Which, by the way, I think is a dreadful shame.




detail of first photo...as soon as I saw it on the computer screen, I fell in love with the shapes













I also noticed the first tiny green buds beginning to grow on a tree...this made me smile...aside from the deep, dark depths of winter, I love March and October...they always smell so fresh and rainy. Speaking of which, I dreamt about the smell of rain last night...hmm odd as it is rainy today.

Museums

I may as well make another post. I have so many things and photographs to post, that I may just have to drip-feed them over the next week or so!

First of all, the photographs from Oxfords museums that I wrote about last month:

Pitt Rivers Museum:



A Ceremonial Animal Skull


Italian Tarot Cards


Italian Tarot Cards


Decorative? or Ritual? Monkey Skull


My Favourite: Tyrannosaurus Rex

The History of Science Museum:



A Selection of Interesting Things


Mother told me to write down what these things were, and now I wish I had because I can't remember!



There was a wonderful exhibition on at the History of Science Museum, but I shall blog that later.
