"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams

I miss the early days of SU and I'm not sure I particularly like how things have become, but I still pop in here every so often to post stuff I find interesting and to visit the pages of old friends and contacts.

Edit: 21 September 2011. Very disappointed at the forthcoming changes. I can't see any point in staying here if I can't personalise my posts - and having my archive rendered into nothing more than dull, dull, dull black text on white makes me fume! I shall miss seeing the carefully crafted pages of so many of my contacts.

Flickr - my photos of all kinds of things, but mostly the natural world. This is the place you're most likely to find me!
Gardening exploits on folia - or they would be there if I had time for gardening!

Here's my seasonal greeting for friends and family - but I'm afraid you'll have to click on the link to view it, seeing as we can't post pictures here any more!

(It involves a seal in a silly santa hat...)

I've exported my SU blog to here - and might continue adding to it as and when I feel like it. See it how it was before all the images and links were stripped away!

Snacks of the Great Scribblers

Wendy MacNaughton takes a light-hearted look at what well known writers snacked on when working.

I'm not a creative writer at all, but thought I'd share my snacks of choice for those times when I'm sitting there looking for inspiration: a variety of nuts (and, for a treat if I manage to write something without deleting it, dried mango and pineapple). And pots of green tea, although that can interfere with progress once it reaches the bladder...

Noma Bar 'Cut-It-Out'

Beautifully striking negative space cut outs by Noma Bar are currently at at Outline Editions as part of this year's London Design Festival. This interesting blog post describes the project.

Bug Art by Ashley Wood

Hawthorn shieldbug by Ashley Wood

A great collection of illustrations of British bugs by Ashley Wood. In many cases, nymph stages and adults are shown. An excellent reference resource - and can also be seen at the British Bugs website alongside photographs of the bugs.

"Appalachian tiger swallowtail butterfly is hybrid of other swallowtails."

Research on these butterflies could be increasing our knowledge of species formation.

The Butterfly Effect

Common Blue by nutmeg66

This year's Big Butterfly Count runs from 16 - 31 July. In conjunction with it, the Butterfly Effect has been developed for school children in KS2. Resources for teachers include six downloadable lesson plans and associated material - which should encourage schools to get involved. I'd certainly use it with my pupils.

The Blades Display Team

Photo: nutmeg66

I'm not particularly interested in aircraft or airshows, but when my son won a sixth form scholarship from the RAF and was invited along to RAF Wittering to attend a presentation, I went along too (in my role as Mum's Taxi) and entertained myself by trying to photograph some of the aircraft. The Blades Display Team is his favourite (even ahead of the Red Arrows).

Dinosaur size comparison

This sort of page has been kicking around for quite some time, but I thought I'd post it here because it'll be easy to find next time I do a dinosaur theme with my young pupils. They love to see comparisons such as this.

Use in conjunction with this page.
