Quite an epic arrangement of clouds this morning. I was impressed.

I even got to see a second conehead mantis, quite a bit smaller and different colour to the large purple one.

These are lovely plants. Bright, colourful and tasty. Yes, you can eat them! Apparently they have a peppery flavour, of which I haven’t tasted yet. I prefer to plant and leave them for the caterpillars. Small and Large whites absolutely love them. The butterflies lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves, then steadily munch their way through them when they hatch. It’s really cool to see it all happen 🙂

Just in case anyone might like to have a print of these cosmic skies, they are available 🙂

I try each day
To keep my cool
While treated like
A child and fool
Reminding me
Of being grounded
No fun, no friends
Completely hounded
On the whim
Of ones deranged
Drunk in their power
They have changed
And taken over
Each thought and act
Of our lives
But it’s a fact
That really we
Can’t stay like this
We want to live
Not merely exist

This is part of my fossil collection. The teeth have been inset into a plaster jaw to show what it would have looked like, so only partially a fossil really. But still I love it. One of the aquatic reptiles, the mosasaurs apparently lived between 82 – 66 million years ago and was said to be larger than the megalodon! Their remains were first discover in 1764 in the Netherlands while chalk quarrying. Amazing to think how much history and awesome things are hidden beneath our feet, lots of them found only through industry and destruction of what is there is now – so it’s hard to decide if things should be left or we should be looking? Some of them though will never to be discovered. Funny to think how many times we may have started digging, not knowing that two foot to the left there was something incredible…

The second phase of today’s sunrise was super pretty.

It’s like in a story
A fairy tale
While evil reigns
Can good prevail
We watch and hope
On the edge of our seat
Wanting to know
We can defeat
The darkness coming
Across the land
While trying our best
To understand
What happens next
We just don’t know
We’re told to wing it
Just go with the flow
But now the flow
Is just too weird
It makes no sense
And is being steered
Into the abyss
