My neighbour’s Halloween decoration got caught up in a branch, and I rather like the resulting effect.

No photoshop or image manipulation - just a clever sculpture by Louis Pratt that plays with perception.

It is not the calendar that lets us know when spring has arrived. It is the emergence of Earl the blue-tongue lizard from under his flagstone.

Friends gave us some longan jujube wolfberry tea. The instructions were quite clear that you just put the berries and whatnot into the cup and add water. But do you remove the berries when it’s steeped? Or eat them?
