Thanks for sharing those photographs. I really like the patterns you see in nature - some great shots of those plants and flowers...
I have to say, the bike caught my eye. I'd love to put it up here - hoping you'll agree that's okay.
Yes the blackbird.. she has a mate and i think they could be getting a nest together. (my new neighbours )
I see her around mostly in the evenings. She likes worms best.
I ask her every time i see her, if she wouldn't mind having a word with her old man and getting him to turn it down a bit in the mornings.
I love listening to birdsong at dusk - -but come dawn and I'm hardly in my bed-- blimey he can really let rip.

i wonder if your conservatory is like mine
ha - i doubt that very much. Mine creaks like an old ship. It's a real DIY job, built probably before i was born. I've got a comfy old armchair and cd player out there and a few pots of herbs (hmmmm...some more successful than others). One thing i really enjoy is reading out there - and watching across the field to the trees at night.
It is very peaceful.

ha Endy - you'd be surprised. My conservatory is like my "figurative" ship... it gives me peace looking out over the garden. I stand in the doorway or sit in my granny's rickety old chair looking out........... camera usually nearby - for hours losing time. Right now.... oh, if you could hear. It has a poly-something roof which when the conservatory heats up creaks and groans, Victorian style roof - right now the RAIN IS SO LOUD on it. It's absolutely chucking it down here and the the sound is wonderful, along with the river filling up and flowing a little faster and a little stronger. Everything is so green. Peaceful. Birds are singing as the rain is quietening down now.
last nite I fell asleep downstairs, must have woken up around... dunno... 1ish/2ish.... tried to get up and climb upstairs - and was woken up at 5am - conservatory doors open, inside doors open - wakened by the dawn chorus, dawgs by my side - it was freezing in here. Again - so so loud, the birds. But peaceful. Good noise. Got upstairs and and hour and half later my phone alarm went off downstairs, I had forgotten to reset it - ha - not a pleasant noise (nasty nasty phone) so somehow got back down and found it shouting at to me. Did get another hour or so of sleep - but..... days go too quickly - so, have just been sitting.............. looking out the window.
Ought to go and do something productive.
Enjoying this solitude - time for reflection.
Life's changing for me. I'm believing it will be a great change. IKE's handler is no longer far away. I guess... after a long, long time we're nesting too. Seeing strength. Keeping positive it will hold together this time.
take care hun
<hugs>

Edgar -
When i came on line and saw your film here i got out Black Elk and started reading it again.
Sometimes i think that when the native American way of life was destroyed, we somehow destroyed humanity's wise elders, our spiritual guides, along with it all.
Maybe that is what the healing of the hoop is about. In the end man will have to reconnect to his spiritual/earth beginning.
(As Black Elk would say... 'If you think about it, you can see that it is true.
Thanks edgar and i'm thinking of you at your daughter's wedding - have a great day!

Hey, thanks Olga -
Hope you are feeling a lot better now.
I've been off line again
I've missed talking to you (all)
....If we introverts ran the world, it would no doubt be a calmer, saner, more peaceful sort of place. As Coolidge is supposed to have said, "Don't you know that four fifths of all our troubles in this life would disappear if we would just sit down and keep still?"
Yes, yes indeed, Endy! Space & calm, space & calm ....
