  1. derrickjknight – UK – I am an octogenarian enjoying rambling physically and photographing what I see, and rambling in my head as memories are triggered. I also ramble through a lifetime's photographs. In these later years much rambling is done in a car.

  9. vannillarock – Guernsey and Arizona – Hello! I’m Anne and it’s a pleasure to have you look in on my little food blog. As a Thermomix user for more than 10 years and an advisor I can tell you the tips, tricks and greatness of this kitchen wonder. Most of the recipes have Thermomix instructions but please dive in - a sponge is a sponge, and pastry can be made traditionally (but why would you?) I am a keen amateur photographer too, so if you’d like to see what I’m up to please visit my other Instagram page @vannilla

  10. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

  17. Gorgeous green. For some reason we haven’t had as many frogs in the front pond, but more down at the river. Cyclical, I guess. The herons have been passing through on their way south. Watch out froggies!

  20. phoartetry – Hello and welcome to my blog. I live in Michigan just below the thumb with my husband and dog. I've created this blog to share my writings/poems and photographs of the world that surrounds me in my travels and at home; what I see and how I see it, also to meet other poets, artists and photographers here on Wordpress.com...I like to think that nature is my muse.

  21. Robyn Haynes – Australia – Robyn enthusiastically pursues a green and writerly life on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, where her background as a doctor of social anthropology equips her with an interesting slant on the human condition. She spends much time indulging a passion for her garden where she ponders life and attempts to stave off existential angst. In her more reflective moments she makes wry observations on courtyard gardening and its parallels with life.

        Seedbud, They’ve changed the reblog method, and I can’t find the way to do it on your blog. It used to be on the header. Then they moved it next to the like buttons. But you don’t have like buttons. Under share, I can “press” it, whatever that means. I’ll try it, but if it looks bizarre, I’ll delete it again. Also, I can’t see how to put commentary under the “press” it function. I’ll do my best, though. Have a great weekend, Brenda

        I basically had to create my own post. I had to import your photo onto my desktop. It was way more effort than reblogging. Do you know if others have reblogged from your site recently? How did they do it?
