On our other site, there's a photo of mushrooms, set in a wood. I wanted the photo becoz they looked rather large :)The obligatory shot of 'Sally six sisters' has arrived on the paintings and photos blog, posing rather well for a youth. there's a new book review, more of a recommendation, really; a response to Marty's Grateful Ded video, and the oud makes a showing, at last, on the showcase of

A painting to explore seeing with the heart, rather than the divisive mind.

My new perosnal blog gets underway with a mathematical proof of the danger of ZOMBIES. :)The power of voting with your wallet and the impact of water shortage on food production
