I adore Zeloot's illustration from Elizabeth Kolbert's book review. ( New Yorke r, July 20th 2009) What a great use of distortion, color and shape to compose a compelling image. In the NY'er article, Kolbert lays out various authors' insights as to why Americans - and ever more so - global citizens are and are becoming so fat. Image source: New Yorker Magazine

Beargrass flowers Xerophyllum tenax (syn. Helonias tenax ) are a gorgeous sight!! I recently saw them driving over Oregon's Santiam Pass. They are a grass-like perennial - related to lilies - and found mostly in Western subalpine meadows. Image source: gallery.photo.net
