All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself
Perfect in weakness
When I was a nipper I used to go pond dipping with my brothers in the fields around our home at East Huntspill on the edge of the Somerset Levels, oh happy days! Back then the rhynes were full of sticklebacks, minnows, newts, beetles and bugs aplenty and we would bring our jam jars home and regularly re-stock our little pond so we could hang over the edge on a sunny day and study all these little beasties and their goings-on!
Many years later and old habits die hard, but habitats do die so an invitation to go out netting on the peat moors with a very learned fellow was not to be missed.
Peter is writing his second book on large water beetles of the British Isles, this new one to have photographs rather than illustrations of each known UK species. He has travelled all over the country gathering information and luckily for me, the Somerset Levels is a place he will return to again and again.
We dipped at Shapwick and Burtle peat works at Westhay just for a couple of hours and found a fascinating selection of water wildlife. I learned a lot that day and it reminded me how superb this area is for nature and wildlife, especially the generally forgotten and unseen creatures that lurk beneath the waters.
How precious our waterways are and what a bitter shame when yet another ditch gets piped and our ponds filled in for our sprawling industries and new housing estates.
I have knocked up a couple of very amateur videos to remind me of this wonderful day and to share with you.
Encourage your children to get outside and explore, then maybe the future of our wildlife will stand a better chance for survival in their hands.
This pair of Mute Swans has been hanging out at the lake for much of the past week. I haven't seen them at this location before, and have to assume they are the same ones that are normally seen near UCSB.
After last nights intense storm.. on the way to work this morning I noticed the fog still spilling over the escarpment, thought to drop into Primbee and hopefully catch the pier and mirrored lake in the foreground.
In the five minutes it took to get there it literally evaported, still it was a super clear morning and I had the gear with me (naturally) so I grabbed a few frames on the walk out and back.

Perfect Minimal Xeriscaping - Of course such a planned xeriscape for one's front yard requires years and years of time for the trees to get large enough to produce such abundant yellow flowers and the actual prize environment will only last a few weeks as these palo verde trees and flowers are in full bloom, central Phoenix, Arizona.

Just a perfect day,
Drink sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
Oh its such a perfect day,
Im glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
Its such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh its such a perfect day,
Im glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Youre going to reap just what you sow,

Youre going to reap just what you sow...

IGLESIA DE SAN MARCOS
(GuÃa de Arquitectura 53)
Situación: Calle de San Leonardo, l0
Autores y fechas: Ventura RodrÃguez, 1749-1753
Francisco Garcia Nava (restauración), 1926
Se erige para conmemorar la batalla de Almansa sobre el emplazamiento de una vieja ermita de 1632. Dotada de un solar largo, estrecho y desigual, Ventura Rodriguez lo aprovecha con una originalisima solución en planta, consistente en cinco elipses consecutivas que se penetran dos a dos y disminuyen de tamaño hacia la cabecera y hacia los pies. Se consigue asi un espacio longitudinal perfectamente trabado y dotado de extraordinario dinamismo. La fachada se compone de un cuerpo central elevado enmarcado por un orden gigante de pilastras en esquina y rematado por frontón triangular, y dos alas cóncavas que se retiran de la alineación de la calle creando un pequeño espacio de respeto frente al acceso. La iglesia combina asi un tratamiento espacial que interpreta de forma muy personal los modelos italianos del siglo XVII con un concepto de muros y fachadas que se aproxima más al gusto neoclásico.
IGLESIA DE SAN MARCOS,
Conmemora, aunque nadie lo recuerde ya, el fin de la guerra de Sucesión, y aunque obra casi de juventud de Ventura RodrÃguez, es pieza maestra de su gran arte. Es un templo pequeño, emplazado en la actual calle de San Leonardo, que antes llevaba el nombre del evangelista que allà tenia dedicada una ermita. Puede ser considerada como una de las iglesias más bellas de la villa y, dentro de su estilo neoclásico, muestra la originalidad de estar planteada en tres elipses y de alzar sobre la central una airosa cúpula de ladrillo pintada al fresco por Luis González y Velázquez.
