See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

We Contain Multitudes (2021)
This mural is part of FINDINGS, a national public art series celebrating women and science, supported by the Heising-Simons Foundation.
The defining feature of an atom is the number of positively charged protons it has at its center. Dr. Ayana Arce studies these messy complex particles by colliding them at high speeds and watching their constituent particles, known as quarks, come into focus. Quarks contain a color charge which binds them to other quarks. But when a proton-proton collision is strong enough, a quark pair can split apart, sending one quark hurtling at high speeds away from the crash. Even as the quark speeds off, it is still bound to its partner through the color charge, but as the distance grows, their connection grows strained. But in the last moment, nature provides. New quarks emerge seemingly out of thin air, forming new more stable pairings with the two separated partners. There is an inherent creative and resilient spirit in these tiny entities.
Like quarks, women are creative and resilient. They form close, treasured relationships with other women, and even when life pulls those partnerships apart, they adapt. They draw others into their orbit. When a community of women encounters one lost and alone, they step forward, build bridges, and spark new connections. In We Contain Multitudes, we see the quarks as women. When one woman rockets away from a collision, she encounters another one who is reaching out to meet her and hold her. While there is ambiguity in the air, new possibilities are coming into sharp relief. All around them, colorful shapes and textures represent the messiness and complexity of life and the strong relationships between women that is ultimately fundamental to society and the world.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
