Last week I was in Spain,
sitting next to a mountain river,
watching students measure flow rates.
It was raining and very cold
but I was with my friend Jenny
and she is a good person to be with.
At some point that day,
even though I was cold and wet,
the creative switch in my brain
that has been turned off
flicked on again.
At the end of the afternoon
I took off my gloves and said
"would you like to see me
take a blog photo?"
Jenny laughed because
it was only a dried up brown shrub...
I don't think she believed me.
