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.

Tom's Nature-up-close Photography and Mindfulness Blog 
Nice one.
Place where time does not matter
Yes, Vikram… in a world full of “put in your time or else”. 🙂
Beautiful capture and words Tom! 🙂
So glad that you liked it, Marcela! 🙂
Lovely post!
Thank you! Keep that long view flowing! 🙂
A magical poem 🙂
And that tendril is the curliest I’ve ever seen! 😀
Thank you, Scifi! Tons of them have been growing on the riverbank like that! They move around like octopuses (in slow motion, of course)! 🙂
How marvellous 🙂 We have creepers here that have tendrils, but nowhere near as spectacular as yours 🙂
I fully agree with scifihammy, Thomas, have a nice day, regards Mitza
Great to hear, Mitza! Hoping your weekend is magical! Next Friday’s poem will have a title in German. 🙂
I hope it’s not “Lederhosen” 🙂
Nein, überhaupt nicht! Es schneit hier! 🙂
A short but very tender poem. Thanks Tom.
Size doesn’t matter! 🙂
Agree! That’s why I admire people who can write so much in a limited number of words. Haiku is a challenge for me to write because of the limitations.
I especially love the long deceased Issa’s short poems/haiku! 🙂
A poor quarter:
Flies, fleas, mosquitoes
live forever.
Lovely poem!
Thank you, Belinda! 🙂 Wow! That’s quite the lens on the camera of your icon pic! … looks NASA-like! 🙂
Photo taken with a fisheye lens. Quite the effect!
I figured that that’s what it was… but that still must be quite a lens! 🙂
Beautiful words and photo! LOVE how You played with the second pic. Cheers!!! 🙂
Much appreciated, forrestingyearround! 🙂 Sometimes the second pic effects are fun; i do, however, always prefer the originals.
OH! I love forrestingyearround! That’s brilliant!!! 🙂
