……we did…..it arrived….and it’s DEAD GOOD.

Mike’s pic is placed in April – my birthday month…..

There’s a pic of vole bones which is most excellent.  I asked who it’s by and was told Moira Parker - credit where credit is due…

Nick-in-the-mist…

This has an air of time-shifting about it  Anything could come out of/through that mist….especially as the year tips over in mid-June.

Can I tempt you? Go on go on go on go on go onnnnnnnn…..

Creaturely Migrations on a Breathing Planet

by David Abram

In this week’s narrated essay, cultural ecologist and geophilosopher David Abram conjures the impossible movements of Alaskan salmon, sandhill cranes, and monarch butterflies on their annual migrations, marveling at the reciprocal interactions that guide these creatures across the wider body of the Earth. What if, David asks, we understood migration as emerging from a conversation—a spontaneous reciprocity—between migrating creatures and the environments they migrate within? How might we humans, whose senses have coevolved with the enfolding biosphere, begin to recognize ourselves, too, as expressions of the animate, breathing Earth?

Soft Refreshing Rain…

Was much needed for the land – the newly seeded fields – now, as then….

Yesterday I could almost hear the plants heaving a sigh of relief and stretching out.

Today – back to sunshine again – perfect growing weather – now, as then.
