This week's doodle is another bunch of medallions. It is amazing how I can endlessly produce these things. But that is how it is with doodles, you don't control them at all. They happen and they become what they want to be. Apparently, mine like being concentric circles.
Because of the last embroidery, which reminded me of looking at pond water under a microscope, I went looking for some images of microscopic things.
This site has images of micro fossils, like this little lovely, a biscutum novum, whatever that might be. It is really worthwhile to spend some time clicking through this site.There are lovely images of things that are too small to see. I especially like the diatoms.Isn't the world grand? Even though they are so tiny, they are beautiful.
This archive of images from BGSU is another amazing resource, and the images are in color, Oooh. Pretty. Consider yourself warned, this site opens a new window for each image. Do look at them though. They are totally worth it.
And don't miss the Diatoms of the Great Lakes from the University of Michigan. Or the California Academy of Sciences Diatom Collection. Stunning images, and they are large.
Yeah, stop me now. I could be sending you all over the web for days. (Thank you to all the scientists and universities who make all of this available. You are awesome!)
