  3. Today @TMakarios and I planted a hedge of tōtara (Podocarpus totara 'Matapouri Blue') in memory of the great podocarp forests that once covered the valley.

    Hedging on a Monolith Amidst Signs of Stopping

    From 2007: "This is several exposures of hedges near PSU. I don't remember how many in a row I shot, but they are lined up equidistant & I tried to catch each from roughly the same distance. Only the last one had the pole directly in front of it. It becomes quite ghostly."

    #Wss366 Hedge / #GreeneryDay Japan

    The day had started well. A gentle wind scented with verdant greenery stirred my hair. Bright violets bloomed along my path, mingling with yellow buttercups and brilliant orange poppies. Thrushes and titmice flitted in the #hedges. It was truly the kind of day where wandering the byways was a goddess-given blessing.

    So wondrous was the day that I didn’t even mind the occasional burr that attached itself to my mage’s robes or the dense foliage that forced me to walk. The moss-covered path was easy on my feet. The occasional brook sang to me. Butterflies as bright as the star brooch of my profession delighted my eyes.

    Who was this young woman so enamored with life?

    It was me, Elaine the Wandering Witch.

  6. Started cutting the daft ammount of hedging. I always try to do it manually as I find the quiet snip snipping quite centering and post long covid I can only do stuff in small bursts and a pair of clippers is minimal setup (I know I could get a battery powered electric but hey).
    Already I've hit the usual bonus. Passers by and neighbours stop to chat as I clip clip away. It really is a bigger reward than exhausting myself with big electric clippers and ear defenders. I'm quite good at small talk. It's the longer conversations where I probably struggle more.
    I'm not the only old schooler hedge cutting wise.
    A much older neighbour down the road cuts his hedge by hand too though he hasn't got this vastness of hedge.
    I'm going to replace this privetbhedge with beech over time so I can manage it better as I get daft old. #Garden #hedges

  7. I am an ultra nerd, looking at the plants instead of all the castles #hedges #photinia

  8. Watching a road cycling race in northern Italy. Coming around to the belief that the most common hedging plant in the universe is photinia spp. It's everywhere including our front yard (not in Italy). #hedges #photinia

    I don’t understand why the Grauniad has only now realised that the #US is a “mafia state” with #Trump as the “capo di capi”.

    In addition, if they had been reading/ watching veteran US (proper as opposed to #Vichy) journo Chris #Hedges before now, they would have realised that the US govt has been captured by corporate interests for a *very* long time - long before Agent Orange! He often refers to Sheldon Wolin’s phrase: “inverted totalitarianism” to describe today’s Amerika!

  11. #Cotoneaster #berries. They're similar to firethorn plants but are thornless with serated leaf margins. Their flowers & fruits are toxic for humans but have excellent #WildlifeValue.
    These are #larval food plants for several insects. Their flowers attract many #pollinators. Their fruits are eaten by multiple birds - blackbirds especially love eating these berries in Winter.
    It's been cultivated by landscapers for wildlife value & soil erosion prevention. It's grown in many public & private areas around here - I see it almost everywhere. Birds have spread their seeds afar.

    I don't know which variety of cotoneaster this is - there are a lot of varieties.

    Spotted at Burnside Medical Clinic parking lot.

  12. Journalist Chris Hedges on being cancelled by the National Press Club

    #Australia’s National #Press Club was due to host Pulitzer prize winning journalist, the former Middle East Bureau Chief for the New York Times, Chris Hedges on Monday October 20, 2025. But after receiving the outline for his speech, they cancelled the event, saying they "decided to pursue other speakers". #Hedges has been a significant critic of the way western media has handled the war in #Gaza.

    "farmers are being asked to consider cutting their hedges once every two-to-three years, instead of annually,...allowing the hedges to grow provides more food and shelter for birds and wildlife, which in turn benefits the environment."
