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, pescetarianism, vegetarianism, and green energy.

TOM – this photo is astounding – what is it????
Thanks, Sara. 😊 It’s an Orange Fairy Cup Fungus, as the caption states.
WHOOPS SO ASTONISHED BY THE PICTURE I NEVER READ THE CAPTION!!! DOESN’T THIS SAY IT ALL?
Yes, Sara! That is awesome! 😊
Orange happens to be my favourite colour and the shade of your Fairy Cup Fungus is quite spectacular.
Thanks, Margaret. I like it a lot too! 😊
That’s such a spectacular creature! I’m willing to bet it’s not edible!
Yes, Harini. Usually, things with bright colors are warning you that they are not edible. 😉
WOW Tom, what a powerful and thought-provoking observation: “Wisdom, compassion, and great intelligence!” Thanks for making us think about your greater message my friend. 🥰🙏🏼😘
Thanks much, Kym! Please keep doing what you are doing with your wonderful blog! 😊
Tom, my dear friend I sincerely thank you for your encouragement. I know you haven’t been posting on your blog as much as you have in the past, but when you post, your messages flow with great purpose and meaning. Thank you for giving substance to your platform my friend. I appreciate you! 🤗💖😘
😊
Tom, I hope that wisdom, compassion and intelligence all reside within me – pretty sure they do, although I thought that orangey-red item was a crumpled-up felt hat and I was perplexed as you are a macro photographer. Thank goodness I had th wisdom to read the caption.
Maybe it is a hat for the magical elf-fairies that live in the wooded grove. 😉
Wow, the color of that fungus is amazing, Tom!
