But we recognise gems when we see 'em, young lady, and you do have a knack of fashioning them or polishing them ever-so-bright for us. I dunno how many "us" is (are). I don't wander the bloglands much, but being as how I like to photograph the natural world, enjoy all manner of words including the comical and essays which puncture pomposities, and enjoy science (though my biology is zilch and am puzzled by the certainties of recent proselytising, vivid, livid, aggressive, atheists-in-garb-of-High-Darwinists); so you may begin to see why I find your work so appealing.<BR/><BR/>And I add my appeal to the others.<BR/><BR/>Would your continuing be hypocritical?

Mine anything is nothing to compare with and think of yours as less. Indeed, it has been my konstant kvetch that I have been adding to the Survival of the Specious that has caused me to think I should JSU (just shut up), and to declare. However, once a hypocrite, always a ... I must report that sights recorded and events such as the privilege of being 'zapped' by an assassin bug (unfortunate for the assassin bug that was squished in reaction rather than examined in contemplation) that have weakened my resolve. There are creatures (damned if I know their proper names, let alone their un-proper ones) that DEMAND to have their portraits displayed, and ideas that are bursting from my liver and lights that don't give a damn about my delicate ego and worries about being a h, capped. "Worry about that on your own time," they scream. And who am I to argue, especially when some of them have fangs?anna tambourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338581782386113668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-17512413277735033532007-04-29T15:38:00.000+09:302007-04-29T15:38:00.000+09:30Oh, Anna, Your blog is a treasure!
