Pathworking
I sit at the desk typing and I am whipped out of my seat by the sight of a Buzzard. It hurtles so close that I think it is going to hit the window and then it switches direction and zig zags out of the garden, a Crow in hot pursuit. I am open mouthed at this drama and laugh as my hand reaches for the camera as if I have any hope of rewinding the moment. I take it as my cue to get out into the landscape with the Greyhound and see if I can bring something new home. We choose our favourite ... read more

Wolf Moon Crescent
Wolf Moon Crescent ~ by Taexalia
The New Moon today begins the cycle of the Wolf Moon. It is said that this moon gets its name from the hungry wolves who would howl near tribal settlements in North America.

I see a wolf standing alone at the edge of the ancient Caledonian Forest. She is a deep memory of a landscape faded. She is looking at the black of ... read more
Mantras for a Wild.Life: Be Your Own Cheerleader
This was not going to be the first post to introduce my personal Mantras for a Wild.Life, but current events suggest today is the day to walk my talk and be my own cheerleader... All may become clear... Be Your Own Cheerleader The thing is that no-one will believe in you unless you believe in yourself. Too many people are not taught this skill when they are young and it is not something that comes naturally to most folk - especially in this modern culture of put-downs and ridicule. It ... read more

Mistle Thrush and Dominance
Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus) - Amber Status
Yesterday I ramped up the bird feeding opportunities in my garden. This "cold snap", which has brought us our first real winter for as long as I can remember, has brought birds in about who would not normally come so close. At first I thought it was luck, being on the very edge of town, but I have since seen some of these species (Redwing and Fieldfare) near the High Street. The search for food is intense ... read moreSnow Brings…
Camera Phone Sunset Punctuated By Greyhound Lunging At Snow Sniffs
I settled in my new reading den, nestled under a woollen patchwork blanket that may have seen better days, but still keeps the winter chills out as much as it did when Grandma first knitted each square from yarn oddments and sewed them together. The new reading den was claimed from the back of the the living room by moving the small sofa right back to the window in-between bookcases and ... read moreTwitterings
