“There was not a moment
to be lost: away went Alice
like the wind, and was just
in time to hear it say, as it
turned the corner, ‘Oh my ears
and whiskers, how late it’s getting.’”
~ Lewis Carroll

Winter Wonderland
“He who marvels at the beauty
of the world in summer
will find equal cause for wonder
and admiration in winter.”
~ John Burroughs
In Search of The White Rabbit
It may not be Treasure Island, but the magic still engulfs all who venture here. An unforeseen scavenger hunt for The White Rabbit of Jefferson Airplane fame continues to “pop up” in bewilderment. Is this Wonderland? Follow me down the rabbit hole through the tree tunnel and see where immortality and mystification thrive. “When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go…” dare you stick your neck out in a psychedelic haze? The fantasy mushrooms, for those who choose to see it. Do you accept the challenge?
