Blotanical Picks

If you are new to Blotanical.  Or just really slow. Like me. It took me MONTHS to notice on My Plot, that Stuart has a little box in the top left corner. Blotanical News. And if you keep half an eye out that way (truly terrible verbal expression, but the Ungardener translates

Earth Hour

Have just caught up with over 300 blog posts with the help of Google Reader. There I have just your words and pictures. No sidebar, so I haven't seen any Earth Hour logos displayed.  www.earthhour.org/Homepage On good days, my good days, I am amused by the arrogant ignorance of nature, the

Sunbird bathing

Imagine. Being so small. That you can bath in a few drops of water on a fig leaf. That was the very first light shower we had after the summer heat. Wash the right wing … (Right is first) Playing with the new camera in ‘ultra high speed continuous

Flowers in February

Christmas collage, January and now February. Went around the garden today. Once the rain had stopped, and the clouds were starting to part. The flowers are spangled with raindrops. The roses have eaten their belated dinner, and were nicely pushing thru bunches of burgundy leaves, and fat buds. But

Da Vinci - walking in London

London Walks  The Ungardener focussed on The Eye, but I focus on the chestnuts People have long sensed the high strangeness of London. That the Monument and Nelson's column - can it be a coincidence that they're both 202 feet high? - cast significant shadows at the

Dragons and a damsel

The Ungardener is having fun exploring the possibilities of his new camera. Sometimes - why won't it do that? Why doesn't it focus? What on earth is it doing? And then he caught a blaze of dragonflies (Tx Wikipedia collective nouns), and a far more elusive and fragile damsel.
