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! Though I was expecting them to quack at the end. Now honestly, weren’t you building up a picture of a duck to mislead your readers?
I’m with you there! No, it seems we have a poetry writing cone flower who is a little grumpy!
Terrific poem and photo, Tom!
Child at heart,Tom?
I was wondering what would emerge at the end? I wish it was still the season for emerging coneflowers – bet you do too.
The image radiates pink I think. Fun write on the nature of humanity as we fumble and stumble though life, searching for a compass amidst the madness. 🙂
