Ornais and Dooneys Gate, Knut the Polar Bear, Paul the Octopus and Keiko the Icelandic Orca

Just a few of the animals, sea creatures in our care, famous and no longer here. Keiko went home and swam 1000 miles to a Norwegian fjord and joined wild whales where he was cared for but was free to come and go of his own choice. http://www.keiko.com/history.html

White clouds and gusty winds blowing the blossom off the trees. Noticed huge seas of primroses on the road banks and in woodier parts- anemonies, celandines and violets. Blossom time in Japan too.. unimaginable what they are going through and how they keep things togethor. Wonder why people in Libyia dont reflect on this and just get a move on and sort things out

Winston Churchill's Studio

March 18th, rainy day at Chartwell we ran across the wet lawns to look at the studio on the left side that looks over the lake behind. On the right is a kitchen garden with a wall that Churchill helped to build as this helped him to relax. Inside the house are the 'Golden Rose Book', his Nobel Prize for Literature in Swedish, his hats and big furry coat he went to go racing and beautiful cut glass from Russia. Winston Churchill said 'A day away from Chartwell is a day wasted" but seems there were many days away

Stardust

look at the stars at night and wonder how far away they are, and try not to think that what i am looking at.. isnt there anymore

remember somewhere in France in a Plantatarium a voice in the darkness saying that every single atom from our bodies has come from these dead stars - that have travelled through billions of years through space and time to create each one of us - recycled stardust
