After being intrigued by Nancy's post mentioning the blue hour, I've been taking some pictures of the sky just before dawn.
I first discovered the term citizen scientist (more information about this here) when I was reading A Sideways Look at Clouds, found it again in Ways of Being, and then had someone mention the term in the pigment class I've been taking.
The term reminds me of a book I didn't read but was intrigued by and plan to read someday, The Scientist in the Crib by Alison Gopnik, Andrew M. Meltzoff, and Patricia K. Kuhl.
The scientific method: Observe, research, hypothesize, test, analyze, and report.
The last instructional/discussion group meeting for my pigment class was last night. While many of these things can be done without knowing the science, there is so much science involved.
It makes me think of the layer of science that is part of all that we do as humans, of how we experience the world and participate in life.
Field notes: 27 F/17 with the windchill. Winds NNE 11 MPH, gusts to 20. Clear skies.
