Cross-Country Connections is a Biodork weekly blog entry dedicated to telling stories in pictures of three family members – me, my sister and Mom – living in different locations across the country. Every week we choose a different theme and then take or contribute a personal photo that fits the theme. This week’s theme is Spiral.
From Erin in Takoma Park, Maryland:
My current work project is cataloging the dry mollusks in the Dept of Invertebrate Zoology. This beautiful specimen is a type of Trochid, a marine snail.
From Mom in Hagerstown, Maryland:
An oldie but a goodie. Best time ever was the trip I made to England and France back in 2007. An entire six weeks! Behind me is a glimpse of the spiral staircases of the16th Century Chateau Chambord. They formed a double helix long before DNA was even imagined.
For more detailed information on this delightful example of Renaissance Architecture, see the Chateau Chambord Wiki.
From Brianne in Minneapolis, Minnesota:
On Sunday I startled a muskrat and a bunch of snail shells floated up from its push-up (its nest) in the reeds.
