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.

I really like this remarkable shot! Beautiful!!
Thank you, Amy! 🙂
Great shot. For some reason this time of year the ladybugs come in our house. I find them all the time and take them back outside.
We get a lot of them too! They get into our sun-room and then come in through the french doors. Ladybugs are very good at finding warm places to stay during cold winter weather. I usually take them back outside too. But I have large aquariums and they occasionally stay on the top of those. If they are on the tanks, I leave them be; they usually don’t leave the tank area once there (and I don’t mind them there as long as there aren’t too many).
Nicely put quote as some are blinded by the light, so to speak.
Colourful and enjoyable photos, your ideas enjoyable. _/\_
