I'm still filled with wonder when I look at some of those amazing photographs taken by the Hubble telescope, read about new fossil discoveries like the microraptor and giant "devil" frog, etc.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-40147334354547571092008-03-07T10:14:00.000-05:002008-03-07T10:14:00.000-05:00"Knowledge erodes wonder".
