Light to dark and in-between
So many luscious shades of green
Sign of life and hope eternal
We never tire of foliage vernal

WPC: The Road Taken
WPC: A Good Match
Hummingbirds and flowers
enjoy a mutually beneficial
relationship.
In search of nectar for their
nourishment, hummingbirds
may visit up to 3,000 flowers
per day.
While the flowers provide them
essential food, the hummingbirds
in turn pollinate the flowers.
Interestingly, hummingbird
flowers are designed primarily
to attract only hummingbirds,
being red to yellow in hue, with
long, narrow corollas and
watery nectar.
Females, who rear their young
alone, establish regular feeding
routes carefully designed to allow
individual flowers just enough
time between visits to refill with
nectar.
Hummingbirds and flowers…
a match meant to be.
WPC: Against the Odds
No call to run or scream or shout
Just because I am about
With pinpoint vision I zero in
On chosen prey I aim to win
Swooping down with talons sharp
Piercing quickly through the heart
Never killing out of greed
Taking only what I need

Repurposed California Job Case
The California Job Case provided a way to store
movable type used in letterpress printing.
It contains 89 compartments where specific letters,
numerals, symbols, spaces and punctuation were
placed.
The case was arranged according to the frequency
of use of the letters and characters so as to make
typesetting more efficient.
As part of Typography class in the School of
Journalism, I actually learned how to set type
by hand using the California Job Case.
We have repurposed one of these cases to display
a variety of collectibles, which fit nicely in the
different compartments.
