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.

Oh, just beautiful!
Thank you, Sara! 🙂
exquisite
Thanks, sixrosesplusone! 🙂
Love it!
Thanks, Jean! 🙂 I was just at a funeral service for one of my former multiply handicapped students and at a retirement party for one of my former coworkers today. Some at the retirement party were just recently in Ireland on vacation. I told them about your situation and about how things have changed for the positive (there) since i was there in ’73. Right now, the U.S. has way too much violence!
Hi Tom, I’m sorry to hear about you former student.
I hope the vacationers enjoyed their visit to Ireland and found peace here!
Wow, this is just stunning 🙂
Much appreciated, Sci! 🙂
No one mentioned seeing the pinkish fern icon that i snuck into the top image (left bottom corner). 🙂
Had to go back to look again! 🙂 Well I’m never too sure what flowers other countries have, but now you point it out, I do see it doesn’t fit.
I bet most everyone didn’t notice it! 🙂
Verbal and visual work really well together.
Thanks, Roger! 🙂 Coming from a fellow poet, that means a lot!
really wonderful post, Thomas. thanks for sharing, have a nice day, regards Mitza
Thank you, Mitza! 🙂 We continue to get hot, humid weather!
that’s terrible weather, I prefer hot and dry like in Greece and then jump into the Mediterranean to cool down… Have a nice weekend, regards Mitza
Dry is great! Eat the Mediterranean diet a lot to stay healthy! 🙂
Wonderful flowers.
Thank you, Rupali! 🙂 They almost look like our 4th of July fireworks!
Lovely, Tom — the poem and the blossoms such a simple and powerful statement.
I hope so! Thank you, Lindy! Hug Jello! Our little Gabbie had a stroke, but i am giving her fish oil and turmeric (powder) mixed in with her soft food and she is back to normal. Those are great supplements to give an elderly dog daily! 🙂
this brings me closer, Tom
than the earlier
trip to the market 🙂
So glad, David! 🙂
