My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

And this Grasshopper looks like an Inspiring General! Good one.
Thanks! One likes how the eyes have a reddish, white, and green pattern… like parts of the body! 🙂
Thank for drawing attention to those things. I shall have to go back to the post to see them. Would need expanding, I suppose. Regards.
Saw the patterns in the eyes. I also like his ‘helmet!’
obviously enjoying the summer Thomas …we have landed back in winter with short days … a bit of a shock!
Yes, in the land down under… things must be quite different than here (in the land that thinks it’s above everyone else). Winter was never my favorite either. But, we must take solace in that short poem by Emily Dickinson:
Winter under cultivation
Is as arable as Spring.
and so true here Thomas … the garden is full of greens, all we need to recover and feast on!
