Do you remember finding a hollow in a tree when you were a child and imagining a whole world in there? Scotland’s folk culture is rich with stories of fairies, strange lights appearing at night, selkies and other such other-worldly creatures. I always enjoyed imagining the miniature world that I could conjure up in such dark and interesting natural places. So when I was looking at the snow on the hedge outside this week I suddenly noticed the sunlight shining through intricate passageways in the snow………worlds within worlds.

Rainbow icicles

I swear I look out my window every day and never see exactly the same scene twice. If you browse through this blog, you’ll find lots of examples of that – the ever changing scene of Ben Ledi, the cloud patterns, the rich variety of sunsets and of dawns.
This morning I looked outside and saw something I’ve never seen before – from the roof of an adjacent building the long icicles catching the sunlight just like a rainbow maker, sparkling with colour.

Intensely connected

Whenever I see a web I think about how interconnected everything is. The network model (networks are made up of nodes and links) really does help me to understand that. Our whole being is an amazing interconnected system of cells, organs and tissues. Our world is an increasingly connected world. What happens in one country quickly changes what is happening in another.
This particular web seems even more dense than most.

Sunsetting

I looked up and the sun was setting, casting a red glow on the spire of the church. Over a few minutes the glow ascended towards the sky as the sun set below the horizon. A lovely effect
There’s a nice place to sit…..
