Places Remembered: Coonawarra
For this post I’d like to remember a day in October (spring) in Coonawarra, South Australia, one of the country’s (deservedly) best-renowned wine districts. I was headed from one town to another (this was back in 1994, and I wasn’t … Continue reading
Welcome, Wanderers

A Liking for Lichens: Finland
A lichen is not a single organism, but rather it is a combination of two organisms which live together intimately. Most of the lichen is composed of filaments of a fungus, but living among the filaments are algal cells, usually … Continue reading
Serenity Sunday Sequel: Around the curve
Shortly after my first post of the Green Grotto this morning, I had a wonderfully enthusiastic response from Cindy over at the loonybin (here), in which she said that it made her want to continue on and see what’s around … Continue reading
