age, youth and stars

See the full gallery on Posterous

"For age is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though in another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day."

Longfellow (1807-1882)

most beauteous vegetables

Have you ever seen vegetables so beauteous? Or as my little niece (who couldn't say the dreaded word) called them, "VENGEtables."

(which, if you a small and facing a broccoli floret coming towards you on a fork, is surely a more accurate word.)

(Also, what's with this floret business? Why does Broccoli get the fancy word that makes it sound like it's from a renaissance court, whereas all peas get is "pod"?)

the v lonely too-high-pitched whale

oh dear.

his love song is chasing all the whale ladies away. it's too high pitched.

they've been tracking him for almost 20 years and say he is singing at 52 Hertz  (which you obviously know as well as I do is the same frequency as the lowest note on a tuba)

(and you'll also know only too well that this is MUCH higher than usual whales  who sing at 15-25 range)

if you don't believe me you can listen to his singing here

it's too terribly sad

but if you want to keep going, find out more here
