These!
Real life green men and women.
Artists Karoline Hjorth & Riitta Ikonen have been on a journey to find them. Their project, “Eyes as Big as Plates,” transforms elders around the world into living sculptures, adorned with the very landscape they inhabit moss, seaweed, branches, and soil.

I'm very fond of looking at stained glass windows in churches.
Often my favourite parts are the unregarded details tucked away in the corners.
Plants, animals and birds - the naturey bits - are often to be found there.
This is a montage I've made of some of those

it was like Pompeii for the Ivy people
some were trying to escape,
others embracing,
a kissing couple,
this one was caught in the act of climbing over a wall.

Things That Don't Exist - Peacock
They used to think there was a bird
with a hundred-eye shimmer for a tail.
Rainbow fractured in the facets of
a fly's compound eye.
And get this -
Some still claim to see them.

It's great to see butterflies doing well this year. And insects in general.
After an atrocious year last year - it's good to see them bounce back, in this much better weather.
It was like the old days - almost.

- Because I Could Only Walk Twelve Steps -
threw myself forward to where
I'd soon be, traveled in the slipstream, like
a skein of geese, in person-form
the dog I would be walking
If I had a dog, sniffed out new routes
found novel ways to get lost ....

Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them.
Therefore the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy.
The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now.

I was an odd child,
life sticking out in all
the wrong places
the boy I was didn't
speak much, not to
people anyway
the man I am found
the words he left in birds,
returned them to the boy
