Explore everywhere there are some remarkable things.

This is the centerpiece of the memorial garden for Pope John Paul II we discovered by accident - an incredibly powerful work of art.

I'm now listening to the album (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People by The Chi-Lites.

It's my first listen to it but I'm enjoying it - it's something a wee bit different.

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

A fly agaric taken from ground level, among the brown leaf litter. The top left side of the mushroom is curled, giving a nice pattern with the gills and red surface.
