Words. Pictures. Poems. SYLVIAANDTEDCOLLECTION is my new in progress blog
(It's about time I re-think this blurb)...Self-centered poetic type. When finally attending university in my 30's, I discovered poetry was pretty damned interesting. I also discovered the fascinating tale and talent of Sylvia Plath. Over a decade later her poetry and life (and Hughes') still intrigues me. (OKAY.I'll keep the above). I am a music fiend. (YES, still true) Mostly weaned on rock and classical, I discovered the beauty of opera a few years ago, starting with an obsession with Andrea Bocelli's lovely voice. So Pink Floyd to Elgar to Verdi--Leonard Cohen to Beethoven and the White Stripes--It's all good. And thank Gawd for iTunes getting rid of all those pesky cd's. Kurt Cobain was my second cousin from my Aberdeen family tree. I try to write poetry and have had a few published. And over the years since this blog was created, my photography hobby fell into obscurity via digital cameras. I lost interest in shooting pictures from that tiny metal object with a screen.

Lovely little tree, I 've never heard of it. I think it would perfectly fit into my Japanese garden. I got a Japanese ash-tree in it that looks very good. I just wrote about chestnuts in my blog, there are no beech trees in the woods overhere as far as I know. When I was a kid, we searched for beech nuts (I don't know how you would call them).

HI Gerrit~
Here in Juneau, there is not a large variety of indigenous, deciduous trees. My little beech is an garden shop import. I have a nice weeping birch too, also from a garden shop.
I read about and saw your pear tree. Lovely. We can't grow many fruits up here. Some folks manage to get some sour little apples and sour cherries...that's about it.
Look forward to seeing more of your blog. I see we both started this nonsense last Feb. :o)
Cheers.

Hi Gerrit~
I don't want to mess up your site with this request. Hope you see this...My painting, the red one that disappeared, I'd like to re-post it. I'd also like to put your poem with it if I have your permission (with your name attached).
No worries if you'd rather not.
thanks,
Laurie
