Nature's art - like a tree of life - a very special image, Anthony 

What did you students think of it?

[Anthony Darby]

Nature is wunderful - great photo Anthony!
What is the approx. size of the Ivy tree?

~10m. Here's another pic, and two of part of the marine station (the red building was the original building, opened in 1896) showing the dike behind. The red circle shows the rocks above the ivy. The last is a photo in the marine station shop, showing a visit in 1901 of the British Association for the Advancement of Science with Sir Joseph Lister just above his signature (to the left of the light grey hat and above his signature).

Could not resist these.
Made of Japenese Luna Clay ,these are really lovely and so realistic.
Available on ebay from Thailand at a very good price ,from an excellent seller.
I now have Pleione in flower all year round.

Eric - we could do with some crocus made the same way   Crocus flowers are sooooo fleeting.  Your pleione are very lifelike.

[mark smyth]

Brillant idea whoever came up with clay Pleione

Anthony your ivy looks more like a huge green balloon

[Armin]

Thanks Anthony, the size and shape of the ivy is realy amazing.

Eric, I concur Tony. The pleione are very lifelike.
And I would be please to see some crocus made of Japanese Luna Clay

As far as I am aware these Luna clay models are only available in various orchid varieties.

No, no, no! - a large part of the (somewhat perverse) pleasure of crocus is that they are fleeting.

Spotted this piece of graffiti on a ESB(Electricity Supply Board) sub station on the path where I walk the dog.

Maybe it was a response to the referendum result Michael

No such luck David, on enquiring from a member of the younger generation, I was told that it was a young lad apologising to his girlfriend. She passes this building  on her way to work every morning.

Also -where's Wally--fellow Forum member..........

This comment mobilised a few brain cells I'd forgotten I had! Who was Wally? Well, I remember attending open air rock festivals in the UK in the 70s and inevitably someone would call out for Wally and thousands would mimic the call. A mystery (almost) solved for Wikipedia tells the story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_(anonymous) and http://business.virgin.net/nigel.ayers/wally.html. This was later immortalised in the series of children's books "Where's Wally".
