Taking Gestalt, by Micha
"I walked by a leaf and felt the sudden need to look closer again. That second it hit me again, with all its force. I saw the leaf and instantly knew everything about it. I knew when it budded out, which tree it grow on, how many aphids roamed over it, when it fell and how long it lay on the ground. I just knew everything."

Leaf, by Colton

"Instructional Design is like a leaf

One is a job, the other is part of a tree"

Reuse, Recycle & Repurpose: Creating Something New Out of Something Old and How it Applies to Training, by Jenn

"At first glance it’s hard to connect how a pile of leaves relates to training, even with one leaf made out of book paper or newsprint. As I sat pondering the connection I decided to just look up what else could be made out of book paper."

The Library of Lost Books, by Jasmin
"The wind blows from the east, promising a cold winter, I thought, when I walked through the Park. I love those colors of leafs, falling from trees and dancing in the wind. For a moment I feel like a child."

Too much fun at Adam's Wedding

Mr. Adam Bird said "I Do" on the 3rd of October to a fellow eBayer and some of us were lucky enough to attend the festivities. You can see the progression of fun from the photos above! From left to right, right as we got there, during the evening and right as we were leaving. Thanks for the super fun evening Adam and Larissa (and super thanks for the open bar!)
