Wait a minute. What is “Serra”? I don’t know what those big corrugated things are.

Wow!

I looked at the Pinterest page, and those sculptures are very cool!

What material does he use?

trachemys

mostly steel. some wood as you can see

I think all the big sculptures are steel -- it's the way he weathers it that makes some look so warm and woody.

Thanks to least, I'm very happy to know that humans aren't alone in artistic gifts.

trach, I've seen images of those funny little creatures before.

I'm not going to Google any more than that, because it kinda creeps me out a little bit.

I try to remember, "tat tvam asi" "you are that" -- one of the great statements of Vedantic philosophy.

See, but I don't know what it is, so I Google it and Google freakin' scares me!

Aack.

It is among many phrases I don't Google...."weird one-eyed creature," because anything creepy that can have one eye (or is that a mouth?) will show.



Baby octo for the win.

trachemys

That is a mouth. And when I see videos of them, every time the mouth pops out, I hear"Boop".

Gilmer? you were pretty quiet on the tardigrade, which looks more than anything like a vacuum-cleaner bag.

You want to supply our next gift?

biminiblue

Yeah, okay.

Apparently they make good sunscreen.

Still nope.

Gilmer

I did comment on the tardigrade.

I said it was making its kissyface!

Gilmer

I’ll have to get off soon.

My mind will be more fertile in the morning!

trachemys

bim, they may be THE most resilient, adaptable, survivable critter on the planet.

In the meantime, dream on this:

Gilmer with a fertilized mind.

Surely that thing’s a fungus you find on rotten logs!
