time-lapse thunderstorm

This quick little time-lapse video of a thunderstorm is so awesome! I especially love the planes racing by and the lightening! It’s part of a whole set of time-lapse videos of nature that I saw on Wired. They were all really cool! See them here.

I’m crazy about these images by Carlo Van De Roer, aren’t they fabulous!? I’d love to have a giant mural of one for a wall in my living room. The feeling of these pictures is like another world!

I just spent way too long looking at everything on Shiraz Fuman’s site and Flickr feed. Her stuff is so awesome – I love the style and how it’s a little bit surreal!

I am so inspired by this beautiful crochet blanket from the ladies of The Purl Bee. I love the idea to just make one giant Granny Square as a blanket. The colors are gorgeous too! But the best part is that they have a really good tutorial for making Granny Squares! Now I just need to graduate to making giant Granny Squares.

Check out this picture from Chinese Fashion Week that I saw over on Jezebel. Interesting huh? I like all the details, but I’m not sure about any of the pieces as a whole. What do you guys think? There’s a bigger version of the picture here.
