I Do Not Believe In Evolution

Posted on March 5, 2019 by hernibs

Evolved

Posted on March 4, 2019 by hernibs

Posted on March 2, 2019 by hernibs

Being Yourself

Posted on February 28, 2019 by hernibs

To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you like everybody else… means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings

Sometimes early to rise isn’t good for you. We had quite a dump of snow yesterday. I hope this little flower survives.

Art Is Life

Posted on January 19, 2019 by hernibs
