Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find? - Ridley Scott
This blog will act as an attempt to chronicle what is sure to be one of the most ridiculously confusing, interesting and wild years I've ever experienced.

By compiling a series of 365 black and white photos and accompanied text you're invited to follow along the ride of an undergraduate student with severe biophilia. This year will mark a year that I leave the continent, graduate from my Bachelors degree, start graduate studies, try to make heads and tails of life and and search for an elusive tiger beetle.

Feel free to post feedback, ask questions, and give suggestions. Hope that your 2013 is looking to be a wonderful, wonderful year.

63. Germination, Excitation, Celebration

I believe that seed germination might just be one of the most beautiful things in the world. The shapes, the contours, the newness of it all. There is something so satisfying about seeing the dormancy being broken, bringing new life forward. If you're looking for a cheap thrill, plant a dried bean in a half a cup of soil. Place it in the window sill.

Try not to smile when you see it's sprouted.

I bet you can't.

Here my friend Susan shows a beautiful little apple seedling that sprouted in an experiment in Tree Fruit Production.

    It's actually the first apple seed I think I've ever seen sprouted.
