Ad Astra per Aspera
Recently I was talking with friends about state birds, songs, and trees and such and I was shocked to discover that no one knew them!? I know that my home state’s bird is the Meadowlark, tree is the Cottonwood, flower is the Sunflower, song is Home on the Range and so on.
One thing that I also know is the motto of my home state: Ad Astra per Aspera which means “To the stars through difficulty.”
I love this motto. I think it’s a nice phrase to have associated with the place I grew up and I also just love the way it looks and sounds.
And it is cool to know your state symbols.

I made this print in the darkroom a few weeks ago. Scanning prints takes away so much of the actual quality of tone on the paper, so I’m photographing them for now.
One of my absolute favorite photo series: Babel Tales by Peter Funch. Make sure to click through the whole series and look at every single picture.
Edit: Tony posted it nearly two months ago, but I didn’t noticed.
This is AWESOME. An interesting look at natural human trends and coincidence. I love it.
1015:
the teddy roosevelt white house had 36 pets, including an antelope and a one-legged rooster.
Work of Berenice Abbott (1898-1991). Fish Market; South Street. 1935.
Abbott is known for photographing New York, primarily during the 1930’s.
“I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else.”
The NYPL has a great catalogue of her work online.

A stop on our roadtrip. Our most scenic driving day, the same day we went to the Grand Canyon.

Here is a drawing I made when I was in 1st grade. It says “Utac Donusor”.
Oh, no big deal, this is just a REALLY COOL BIRD!
Standard-Winged Nightjar, found in Northern Africa. Here is a weird gallery of photos of it walking on the ground. It seems like it would be extremely annoying to be this bird.
