Brown Argus

A pretty little butterfly that was extremely plentiful in Spain, hopefully I can entice more into my garden this year, but will have to see what grows to help with that. But this one was great to photograph as it didn’t even seem to notice me most of the time.

They want for us… (poetry)

They want for us

No freedom or fun

Instead more a set up

Like that film Logans Run

Quite scarily similar

To V for Vendetta

Sometimes feels followed

Right down to the letter

Or what has happened

Feels more like invasion

Copied the plot

Of another, Contagion

It’s part of their plan

And dastardly tricks

For us all to be stuck

Within the Matrix

But for the sake of all

That is right and good

Instead of the gloom

We need Robin Hood

Right about now

Because not enough… (poetry)

Because not enough

Did see the sense

We are now left

With the consequence

They called us nutters

Conspiracy folk

But then it came true

No longer a joke

Calling us theorists

Goes hand in Hand

To prove that some

Don’t understand

Quite where we are

Or how we arrived

That this whole debacle

Is completely contrived

Despite the evidence

And what has unrolled

So many still fear

When they need to be bold

Because what is coming

If we don’t find our brave

Doomed to their system

We’ll all be their slave

Desert rose crystal

This is small desert rose crystal and part of my ‘collection’. Seems to be a varied one these days including fossils, shells, crystals and geology. I’m also trying new things with backgrounds when taking pictures, so get ready for more bits and pieces with colourful sparkly backgrounds 😉

Dandelion

A very underrated flower in my opinion. I thought they were weeds for quite some time, but now I know they really aren’t – or at least they are a useful one. Bees love them, and one flower seems to keep giving for quite some time. The plant is mostly edible. The leaves can be used for salads or cooked and eaten like spinach, the flower buds are good in omelets apparently, or you can put the flowers in cakes. And of course if can be turned into Dandelion and Burdoch, which I remember as horrible drink that my mother used to drink and love. I didn’t even know what burdoch looked like until I started typing this and looked it up – another fantastic ‘weed’ that is even more special. I shall try and find some and do a post about that one too.
