I ran into this quote from Henry Miller that seems well suited to your work: “The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”
Good to have you back Richard. One of the reasons I enjoy your stuff is that I never once suspect you’re AI—that’s a good thing these days—and you nearly always remind me to slow down and look around.
Thanks Tom … much appreciated. I do use AI for illustration when i don’t have some suitable of my own but I never call it art and I always instruct it to use a style that is clearly non-photographic. Words are my own, as are errors. Lots more to come in the weeks ahead.
Ah yes, the illustrations … I find myself more “forgiving” of these, probably because I too am primarily a wordsmith but recognize that illustrations and photographs help.

Nice - thanks, I will file that away. More trees next week, rather nerdy presented too

Excellent article.
Edinburgh Botanic Gardens have a wonderful selection of rowans from across the world!
That I would like to see … we “might” be in Scotland next spring.
Great read on Rowen! I was captivated by its clusters of fiery berries the first time I saw it. I’d love to have one in my yard someday.
Super article - enjoyed the Rowan section - off to read the article you posted ‘The Art of Noticing’ love a bit of Baker street Sluething
Every entry is a pleasant, informative read or view of nature. Thank you for all you do.
