The Getty's big summer show illustrates how observing nature can transform a person. At the age of 13, Maria Sibylla Merian was one of the first to document the full metamorphosis of a silkworm. Her journey as a keen observer of the natural world led her to shed a traditional 17th century life and soar as an artist and scientist. Our family has always loved The Secret Garden, a touching adaptation
From captured (rescued from a busy sidewalk) caterpillar, to cotton candy-esque cocoon, to "butterfly moth," our twins recently observed nature at its finest. [Please do think twice before you reflexively swat at a moth...it may be our family's freshly released friend.]Here's the tale in pictures: Fly. Be free.

Truly nature's wonders... otherwise who would think a lousy caterpillar would metamorphose into this orange beauty! Thanks for your comments on the previous butterfly... actually, Somitra I'd intended to post both these butterflies together... one transforming to the other... and yes, it is only my imagination that the previous one would turn to orange after sipping nectar.KL Butterfly Park, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Dec2007, F/5.2, 1/50s, ISO-400
Busy and Hectic Lifestyles led San Franciscans away from their country and into the Marin County which marked the origin of the sport of Mountain Biking. What started as a mere sport became a passion as the sport made a niche in history and even bikes were modified to suit the sport. Mountain Biking used to be the passion of a selected few until it became widely accepted as a competitive and enjoyable sport. The reason for this change was due to three factors. These factors were the individuals who used the extreme sport of Mountain Biking to fulfill their passion, the location or geographic aspects and the construction of the Mountain bike. Factor No.1 - The People The late 1960s marks the beginning of the history of Mountain Biking when San Franciscans getting tired of their extremely bu
If you want to stop smoking naturally, stop-smoking hypnotherapy may be the first thing suggested to you. And for many years, hypnotherapy was the best option available. In an article in the New Scientist in the early 1990s, even the most basic form of hypnosis was found to be up to 60 percent effective for quitting smoking. That compares very favourably with most artificial solutions.So hypnotherapy first came about as an alternative therapy. Naturally, evolution takes place, and now there are alternatives to hypnotherapy too.Once highly controversial, hypnotherapy has become a staple, accepted norm. Now, new techniques have evolved, as hypnotherapists hone their skills and learn additional advanced techniques. Now, the new techniques are controversial. How times change!For example, my co

I was tagged by Hanna of Amori, poesie, arte, chat by Hanna for the Metamorphosis meme. Here's how it works...select a book and open to page 161, then choose a complete sentence. I chose 7th Heaven by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.Here's the complete sentence: I stepped through the shattered door frame and saw the stars and the moon where my ceiling used to be.Want to play? Go ahead...I'm not going to tag anyone.
No me ha dado tiempo de escucharlo, pero visto que hubo a gente que le encantó la recomendación que hizo Mcore, corro raudo y veloz a subir la nueva obra de estos post rockeros. Disfrutad el disco con prudencia.

For aeons pain ruled my being
fueling my senses with anger
contempt gathering around me
vengeance flowing through my veins
gnashing teeth of deception
scheming claws of betrayal

Varied patterns are formed from threads of painful experiences intermingled with shining strands of miracles, adventures, and dreams.
I know I need a change. I know I have options. But I'm afraid.Afraid to leave what I know. Worried that different won't be better. And it's not that I don't enjoy parts of it. But there are days that make me want to walk out the door and never come back.But I'm loyal. I believe in at least trying to work things out. See if things can't change. For the better. If that doesn't wotk, at least I'll
A week ago while cleaning my basil harvest I found a monarch caterpillar chrysalis. Just dangling on the stalk in its perfect jade green splendor, laced neatly with a glimmering golden thread. It was just THERE when I looked. Nothing prepared me for it. I have looked on the underside of every milkweed plant waiting for a glimpse and never found one. Here at the bottom of a heavy pile of basil that was crammed into a tote bag on my kitchen floor for days is this fabulous, impossibly smooth miracle. I put it in a jar and wait.Only a few days before, my daughter (just barely five years old) gets two loose teeth. Front and center just where they should be. They wiggle and wiggle. She wobbles and twists them. One is ready to go for sure. I knowingly dispense the requisite firm cinnamon raisin bagel and-- it is free! A perfect window to poke her finger into. Sophia puts her tooth in a plastic, hot pink "tooth treasure trove" for safe keeping forever. Why give something like that away to a f

There is no question in my mind that blogging changed my life.
I'll let you ponder that for a moment while I share with you what made me turn to the blogosphere in the first place.
I've written before about what my life was like just prior to and following The Poo's birth.
My father died less than four months before she was born, and my family pretty much fell apart.

The Rolling Stones - Metamorphosis(1975)320kbpsThough it remains the only Rolling Stones outtakes collection album ever to be officially released, Metamorphosis is one of those albums that has been slighted by almost everyone who has touched it, a problem that lies in its genesis. While both the Stones and former manager Allen Klein agreed that some form of archive release was necessary, if only to stem the then-ongoing flow of bootlegs, they could not agree how to present it. Of the two, the band's own version of the album, compiled by Bill Wyman, probably came closest to the fan's ideal, cherrypicking the vaults for some of the more legendary outtakes and oddities for a bird's-eye view of the entire band's creative brilliance. Klein, on the other hand, chose to approach the issue from the songwriting point-of-view, focusing on the wealth of demos for songs that Jagger/Richards gave away (usually to artists being produced by Andrew Oldham) and which, therefore, frequently featured
Dragons Of Eden is now proudly publishing as a "Beta Blogger"Dimi's New Words for today are fugly & fawesome....After about three hours of tearing out my hair and swearing at whoever decided to "upgrade" Blogger I have finally managed to set up the DoE to look and function as I want it to! I had a few problems with a fugly (fuck-ugly) Label Cloud and horribly complicated comment hiding process but I think everything is as I hoped it would it be. Getting back my "previous posts" link and relinking to all my pretty little link-affiliate boxes as relatively simple and moving the widgets around was fun but I hate the fact that the coding still looks alien to HTML idiot a.k.a. Me!!! I mean I used to have a vague idea of what-was-what on the "classic" template, simply because I mutilated the coding a few dozen times to see what would happen...but now I'm right back in retardville with the introduction of this new blogger beta layout! oh well at least when you click on my links you go where
