Wall Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia
It’s not often that Wilmington, NC finds itself in the path of a major winter storm event. Maybe this happens once every decade.
Well, it happened for southern North Carolina residents last night. Here is what we woke up to this morning!
The snow-covered landscape seems surreal--
Last night on the evening news, Brian Williams reported that 49 of our 50 states reported measurable snow last night. That is quite a statistic!
Snow is especially appropriate now as all eyes are on Vancouver for the Winter Olympics.
If the snow has found you today, I hope you enjoy it as it will soon be gone!
Woo and Hoo!

Beautiful and temporary.
The artist is South African Calligrapher Andrew van der Merwe. An avid surfer, he spent a lot of time doodling in the sand. Over time, he began developing instruments that would allow him to make deep angular cuts in the sand while at the same time catching the sand so as to prevent it from stockpiling into his grooves. It also appears that he developed shoes he could wear while working on his art that would leave no trace in the sand.

Finally, a history of van der Merwe’s artform is Here and it is fascinating!
