A TESTAMONIAL TO BLUE-GREY. FROM A FELLOW WONDERER
I wonder at your camera, especially when you capture those exquisite close ups, but also that even the long shots of the wildlife I've seen have detail that most cameras can't give.
That may be your talent as a taker of pictures - but I find long shots with the still shutter of my puny vidcam (it fits in my pocket) affords only punctuation to mark the excitement of what I saw.
I don't mind. My messy memory is a superlative camera ready for life's duration to transform images into words and ideas.
Nonetheless your art with the lens is superlative especially when accompanied by your thoughts and the option of sublime music.
Thank you Black Rabbit. You are Hardy's subject:
nnnn
nnnn
"If, when hearing that I have been stilled at last, they stand. at the door,Watching the full-starred heavens that winter sees,Will this thought rise on those who will meet my face no more,'He was one who had an eye for such mysteries'?"

Hi. Great pictures. I've been mega busy this last week. Trying to sort out a local wildlife survey in our village (more info soon). I've been setting up the website all week. Hours of work, but getting there.
Thought you might like a couple of links that I've found recently of good (well I think they are) nature blogs:
http://my.opera.com/Words/blog/ and
http://www.wildernessdiary.com/journal/
Hope you like them! Jane
Thanks for the links Jane !
Wondered where you'd got to - I've been checking UE all week!
Should point out that WORDS has been linked to BG for some time - and indeed won the "shot of the year" title on BG at the back end of 2007!
I'll check out t'other link though when I get a min!
Cheers again!
TBR.
Whoops! I probably got the Words link from you then! Good blog though. The other one is set in Kenya. It's not all cheetah and lions.... just everyday life (like squirrels in their tractor), but every now and again an elephant wanders through their garden. Jane
Just had a look at it Jane!
Its very good indeed!
Thanks again!
My mother was born and raised in Kenya (during the Colonial bit, you know), and I'm going to send the link to her also - she'd go head over heels for it)!
Glad you liked it. I love Africa. Spent time in Zimbabwe on Lake Karuba with friends who had a safari boat business. They aren't there now... and Zim has been ruined and the people are starving. Really sad. I hope Kenya doesn't go the same way. Jane
Make that Lake Kariba.... Karuba's in Tanzania! Whoops - it was a long time ago. Jane
Make that Tunisia. Maybe I should call it a day! Jane
I reckon it was just SLOUGH, and you've dressed it up in your memory to avoid the pain!!!
Heh heh!
