Wednesday Cool Links: Light Stuff, Edibl...
Solar botics
October 25, 2012
As of early September the trees learned how to shed leaves. They were so graceful and efficient, that I start to wonder if they have an MFA in Shedding Leaves. Now, the question is - did they create this white stuff that now lies on the ground as well? Because if they did, they didn’t do a very good job with it. The substance looks messy, it sticks to the shoes, hardens and then melts - only to harden again in most uncomfortable shapes. I hope staying inside and looking at these links helps.
