Moon Phase: Waxing gibbous
Weather: cloudy

Catching up...here's a few photos from last summer. Rock Creek Park, Kenilworth Gardens, Potomac River, Silver Spring, and Rock Creek Park again, respectively.

ETA: Happy Darwin's Birthday! Apparently churches all over the country are celebrating "Evolution Sunday" today in honor of Darwin's 197th birthday, to affirm their belief that evolution and Christianity are not incompatable. I think that's fantastic; the creationists (oh, sorry "Intelligent Design" adherents) have been dominating the religious side of the debate, and this is a nice reminder of the fact that the majority of people in this country believe in evolution AND in God.

It's only a conflict if you believe that every word of the Bible is true, and really, anyone who believes that is in denial. (It says rabbits chew cud!) Of course, in my religion, there is no conflict since there's no dogma, and evolution is just one more cool thing that makes the universe a beautiful place.
