ICICLES

Been thinking about this image for a Solstice card this year. Need some sunlight I think!

LUNA

This is Luna my beloved feline companion. We are so very close it is absolutely amazing to me. The connection is so strong and goes over and beyond what I ever imagined between two beings of separate species. Look at her eyes! This is a bit close-up this photo. Her face is actually quite dainty.
I am so in love with her and her special being. To Luna with love.

View from kitchen window today!

It is so magical with these bars of stalactites or icicles to look through onto trees and snow.

Snowfall continues

This magical winter wonderland all white and quiet.

I am so happy to be back on DJANG writing and sharing again.
I took a hiatus for under a year due to some uncomfortable feedback.
It dried me up completely. Felt somehow too censored, and that is not what this was ever about.
DJANG was always about sharing and if you as a reader want to, you can read it and if you don't, don't.

I am posting some more pictures of Tarset and Sheep Cottage since the more recent snowfall.

Snovember 2010

Earlier than usual we have our First Snow in Northumberland, well in large parts of the British isles actually.
Here is Sheep Cottage in the First Snow of the winter looking all Christmassy!
We are warm and cosy indoors with the cats, while the cars are snowed in, but we have plenty of provisions and a vegetable curry I made for supper.

Iconography

Australian Aboriginal symbols and their meanings.
I have always been interested in alphabets, symbols, and icons.
There are similarities and differences when you scan the pictograms from all over the world. It is so fascinating to me. A link to understanding how we might think and experience while we translate what we see 3 dimensionally into a sign.

Bunny and sheep feed

Went out for a first look around the garden since the snow and ice melted after the Big Thaw which followed the Big Freeze three or four weeks earlier.
LONG WINTER FOR THE UK!
I was heartbroken to find that not only had the sheep neighbours munched on my recently planted scots pine, holly, rhododendron (which I thought was poisonous), but the bunny had cleaned off everything else that was green! Parsley, roses, shoots, digging up bulbs etc.
I totally understand that in the shock of the all white world with no food what else to do than eat then Pamelas greenery situation, the bunny and sheep were in survival mode.
All I can do is to start over, planting more and protecting them better.
It is a huge learning curve this gardening in fell country. Wish me luck and perseverance with a lot of patience too.
