Saw hundreds of elvers in the river today, tiny glassy fellas; then a gurnard, conger eel, sea squirts, sea cucumbers, John dory, crabs, starfish, plus what I thought was an empty tank but which the aquarium attendant told me contained a soluble type of fish.
Turns out HMG was right!

a magic tree on the grounds of a Buddhist temple in Taiwan that saved my life
it was so hot on that day that I could only walk 30 feet before I dissolved into a puddle of sweat, but this tree appeared and provided much needed shade

a magic tree I encountered on exiting the train station at Fuchu-shi,Japan
"fish rising"
there's a noticeboard to the right of the magic tree proclaiming this street to be a "national monument of Japan"
"nowhere else but here"
"A Prized Zelkova Row of Trees of Riding Ground Daimon - narional monument of Japan'
we were there for "Kurayami Matsuri" ( Festival of Darkness )
here's a bunch of Yakuza dragging a Taiko drum through the national monument;

Big fan of weasels lately.
They're great to see in the wild. I've only ever seen two, both dashing across the path ahead up in the Downs, head up, plucky, ready to pounce, soar, or whatever.

Sorry Stan, but you're nearly a week late.
Orcas are deliberately sinking sailing boats for the sheer fuck of it, and teaching other orcas how to do it:
Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same. But why?
Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population through social learning.www.livescience.com
