I've shared this before, but want to again. When my mom learned her cancer was terminal, she told me: "When a mom dies, a new clearing opens in the forest. Next time you're in the woods, look for it."
I keep searching for clearings - in nature and among people. Lush, green, beautiful clearings.
Today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight is on Wheatears! π
These little birds take on an epic journey from sub-Saharan Africa, crossing oceans, ice and deserts to arrive in the UK from early March onwards.
Look for the striking black 'T' marking on their tail in flight.

Why does this petition need signing - because anything involving womenβs breasts is somehow βadult content β - the petition is about CPR
Long shot, but does anyone know of any regular art/craft/illustration type evenings in Bristol? Something not too formal, a chance to hang out with people as much as anything. Asking (genuinely) for a friend.

I don't suppose any of my followers have access to the MMU (Manchester Metropolitan University) Visual Resources Centre, do they? The Centre has a slide that, if rescanned in high-res, could relieve my obsession. When I last asked, they couldn't find it.
But it *must* be there somewhere, right?
