Took a little trip to Edisto Island. It was to celebrate my wife's birthday, but I did manage to get in some photography. As we were winding our way out came upon Turkeys coming out of the roost of these Live Oaks covered in Spanish Moss.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.
Lord Bryon.
I saw this Preschool planting project in a classroom I visited. Everyone of them was growing. (the plants and the chidren too!)

Botany North Extension, University of Melbourne. Lyons is the architect, and it was 2004, not the 1960s, as I had thought. Can be a bit wrong sometimes!... "...the new botany wing fits into a tight site on the University of Melbourne’s established campus, bounded by buildings and foliage. The site is heavily imbued with contextual agendas, and the design process seems to have negotiated these with great vigour." ( www.archmedia.com.au/aa/aaissue.php?issueid=200301&ar... ) Yellow-green glazed brick, generally doesn't look quite this dramatic. Afternoon light after a storm.
Otherwise an important landmark as it is almost opposite what was once Alice Paton Kindergarten, where our kids spent many happy months. As far as I know, the uni no longer has an on-campus kinder. This one was wonderful; great teachers, an odd, long site, chickens, rabbits, a bit wild with odd corners for children to explore.
I remember the Melbourne Cup Day (not a uni holiday) kindergarten races, complete with kinder-made cardboard horses. The man with the starter gun was Professor David Pennington, then Vice Chancellor.
