Speaking of Australia...
I mentioned in the writing blog that I have been reading a book by Colleen McCullough called THE TOUCH. I didn't actually much enjoy the story so much as the history of Victorian Australia. (Really, she has written better!) I have just found an Australian tv show offered through Hulu, called WHO'S... Sign in to see full entry.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/morning_gate/ Here is a link to someone who "favorited" one of my images. I went visiting, and I know some of you here will enjoy a stroll through Morning Gate's images of plants and landscapes of Europe. The names look, to me, to be German. Enjoy!

Yellowstone: The North Road
The mud pots and bison herds are left behind, and the road climbs out of the great caldera and cuts through evidences of vulcanism of ages past. Lifted from the meadows and plains, and the lake shore, from the high ground, one has long views of the landscape of Yellowstone country.... Sign in to see full entry.

Mud pots and steaming lakes
Of course, these are what Yellowstone is most famous for: the thermal activity that drives the boiling mud and geysers and hot springs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ There is also a bison on dangerous ground, finding a way to scratch an itch. Sign in to see full entry.
