Celebrating the visual creators
Having been married to a stillsman, I’m bound to like photographic content; and there is so much talent out there that it makes me gasp ! ButI didn’t realize how many photographic blogs I follow when I started putting together this list, and it turns out there are 30. As to why this post, it’s […]

If I could say one thing …
The title is a shameless steal from a programme on our ABC TV – it’s about … erhmm … how not to be ripped off, basically, and called The Checkout. It contains a segment with this title, which contains someone pronouncing upon something people do that they shouldn’t if they want to save themselves money, […]
Emerald Wake
Another totally marvellous photo from my Polish blogging friend Emerald Wake. Honestly, I grow bewildered by the plethora of photographic talent around ! I shall create a post of my personal favourites, I think; and although you will certainly know some of them already, with any luck it will bring to your attention someone new […]

Final LIOLI #2 reminder !
If you can summon up the energy for yet another challenge – meaning, of course, apart from those who’ve already done so ! – this may be The One. Or not. Whichever.:-) To the thus far uninitiated, click on the ‘logo’ on the left to be carried magically – or perhaps technically might be a […]

Heraldry has its uses
This is a German escutcheon, from I know not where. Which is somewhat insulting to the residents of the place to which it belongs.Ich entschuldige mich. Still … something tells me that it’s somewhat unlikely any one of them is going to be cheerily firing up his/her computer today, navigating to this blogsite – though a highly commendable activity, and one to be encouraged at all times – and regarding this post with dismay or possibly even horror at the sight of his/her escutcheon in so epheme...

The Middle East explained – not …
This is not a fake: it’s a subscriber’s Letter to the Editor of The British Financial Times. I went looking for it in digital form to provide provenance, but the damned paper wanted me to sign up to fourteen years (if I remember correctly) of something-or-other, and wouldn’t provide access otherwise. I am not making the slightest attempt to offend anybody: I would so dearly like to comprehend, even to a tiny degree, why what is going on is … going on. But it would appear from this gentleman’s...
A wonderful, wonderful video !
How Wolves Change Rivers from Sustainable Man on Vimeo. There’s simply no way I can stop myself from posting this. Anyone who doesn’t feel, as I do, that in this insane worldit restores balance … a renewed sense of the beauty and wonder of Nature, is a person without a soul. Whatever that is. And it’s narrated by George Monbiot – very much another plus.Filed under: beauty, nature Tagged: wolves, Yellowstone
