A beautiful sunny day led me to the grasslands on the 13th. And I only required a couple layers of light clothing. Unlike today with wind gusts of 31 mph and the high of 44 degrees. Indeed, brrrrr! This device corkscrews itself into the ground like a seed This bioinspired seed carrier has an 80…
I definitely had to go to the grasslands yesterday afternoon. Furthermore, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect and that is why I had to! So I had two goals. One, stay out of the mud.

All of the ice was gone today. However, we did get a nice frost last night. In fact, it meant that I got my photos before 9am. While looking into frost heave and I ran across the term frost quake. I never had heard of this before. However I have witnessed ice quakes on a…
