Inversion Time...


The weather outside is frightful.... well, maybe not the weather itself, but the thick pollution that mires the valley due to the high pressure weather pattern is really frightful. Health advisory frightful. This is the one bad thing about living in Salt Lake Valley.

So, with dreary in the air, why not focus on the positive... indoors. One of the perks of working in a biology building is having a green house on the roof. Here and there throughout the public areas of the department there are big planters filled with houseplants. Mostly your "standard" sort of houseplants, except when something interesting flowers in the greenhouse and our greenhouse manager puts them out in the planters, like this planter with not one, put two beautiful orchids! How positively beautiful!!!!! A real treat for this girl who studied botany in college!



The ugly air downtown today...

Wow, I had no idea you guys had such trouble with pollution. I've always pictured Utah to be the cleanest state of all.
