* [For first time visitors]: Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that

Moments of solitude

Like a great poet,
Nature knows to produce greatest effects
with most limited means.

– Heinrich Heine (13 December 1796 – 17 February 1856) –

At sparrow's fart

No idea what let
29 members of the sparrow gang
from the cherry laurel vis-à-vis
suddenly invade this part of Seanhenge.

Sunday in Seanhenge

but why should blackbirds be wiser,

a goldfinch contemplates.
