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.

Stay mindful, understanding, and caring!...

Now I’m grouchy, Thomas, because it is raining here every day and quite cold, no summer whatsoever, sigh
Love it! The thinking out of the box poetry writing style is fun and very creative.
Love the pics too!

superb pics
Thank you, 7! 🙂
Love your poem, and the Veronica is stunning.
Thank you, Karen! The Veronica grows in the backyard. 🙂
The poem reminds me of ee cummings’ one X one — the photo with the laughing frog is a fine addition!
I’m a big fan of Cummings, Lindy. 🙂 I have two monogrammed sterling silver cigarette holders (with Cummings’ initials) that were owned by him.
Beautiful, look at lupine flowers, and amazing colors!
