flora crica 2005

 truffling through cds like i am gonna find some holy grail of images alas- nothing that's made me wet myself.
some happy flowers to brighten the screen.

Mima Mounds 2008

this was the last stop in centralia exploration 2008. hard to capture the undulating surface of the mimma mounds.
no one really understands them - lots of guessing but no definitives- not that there ever are...

saw some deer visited the mounds observation deck and took some rather bad photographs...sorted.
search on google some great Aeriel photographs of the place.

the new clutch

after some issues of violence and stress involving a local cat prowling our garden and a slightly bedraggled fledgling- who luckily survived. the cat is on my A-1 shit list- i am on not constant surveillance but aware and vigilant.
there is a new clutch- two i think as i thought i saw franz and ethyl in their nest feeding at same time.
as for the cat - she knows who she is- and i will amend her with bells if i catch her... possibly cow bells.
no violence in my closet garden.
no harm just love.

unappreciated hero of the year 2012 - the slug

his holiness the dalai lama says...

"The quality of everything we do: our physical actions, our verbal actions, and even our mental actions, depends on our motivation. That's why it's important for us to examine our motivation in our day to day life. If we cultivate respect for others and our motivation is sincere, if we develop a genuine concern for others’ well-being, then all our actions will be positive."
