I made a new friend in the last week. His name is Jordan and he’s from Poland. He’s an absolutely amazing photographer, as you can see from the photo that I’ve chosen to use for todays post.

Jordan has given me permission to use some of the photos that he’s sent me on my sites, so you’ll see a smattering of his photos today if you visit our other sites in your travels. You can also read a post that I wrote on Tuesday to introduce Jordan to all of my blogging friends.

Happy Wednesday, and Happy Valentines day!

Fantastic funny free ecards

by

I know Valentines is almost over, and many of you are having fun with your loved ones. However, some of you might be home, and you might have forgotten to send a Valentines card to someone you love. Why not send an Ecard from Egreetings.com?

Visit the site to see some of the funniest animated eCards that you’ve ever seen. They also have risque ecards as well as off color ones. While you there you can hear Cupid’s best pickup lines. That cards a blast! Each card can be personalized with a message and pictures.

Egreetings has cards for all occasions. So many in fact that I’m sorely tempted to take out their 30 day trial membership to test out all of the features such as being able to schedule ecards for delivery months in advance. If I used that one simple feature I’d never miss anyone’s special occasion again. If I liked the service as much as I think I would I could take out a one year membership for $13.99 which would allow me to send an unlimited amount of cards each year. I’d also save a ton on postage and on actual cards.

Why don’t you visit egreetings.com and see all their great ecards for yourself.

Elephant Ear plant reacting to light

It’s interesting to see how plants react to light isn’t it?

I’m sure you’ve looked at your house plants or various plants in your garden and saw that they were facing the sun, or that the flowers were open fully in full sun. However, at night or when not in full sun you might have also noticed flowers closing or plants leaves turning to try to capture whatever small bit of sunlight they could reach.

Here’s a time lapse video of an Elephant Ear houseplant reacting to the sun. It’s facing into the plant owners home in the beginning but watch what happens as the window that the plant is near becomes brighter and brighter as the sun comes through it.
