Between Britain: A Review

It is not mentioned, but it is elegant

The in-text image just above the 10th subheading, Fireworks and balloons, does not display the artist name.

Is there any information beyond that image linking with the mycoloringland site?

Between Britain: A Review

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Identity, advises us that "Yet he is enraged by the observation that barbed wire is more prevalent on the English sides of the border as opposed to the friendlier Scottish side, and he sees this as a manifestation of English "higher" class culture of which all would be better rid. His detestation of seeing this kind of weaponry in a peaceful country place is augmented by an accident that he suffered when scrambling over a rather nasty fence in an area of rough and boggy land. His clothes were gashed and his face smeared with blood as he walked to the nearest town, shunned by passers-by afraid of trouble, until a kind-hearted woman helped him to sponge down his blood stained face and went with him to a helpful clothes shop."

Unitedstatesians in similar circumstances fear catching tetanus and go for anti-tetanus shots.

Is tetanus indicated at all in the aforementioned interaction with barbed-wire fencing?

The Liberty Bell originally hanging from a tree branch intrigues me.

Online sources list American elms (Ulmus americana), American chestnuts (Castanea dentatum) and Franklinia (Franklinia alatamah) among trees still manifest on Independence Hall grounds.

My first guess for Liberty Bell-hanging might be an oak (Quercus) species. My guess from the above list might be American elms, another tree species monitored as so Unitedstatesian-beloved.

It would have to be a strong branch for Liberty Bell weight, wouldn't it?

Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

Ljubljana coat of arms-ing a dragon particularly appeals to me.

Online sources associate that dragon with Jason and the Argonauts!

Ljubljana communicates to urban-forest arborists -- such as myself ;-D -- a city commended consecutively, repeatedly for its tree community service, numbers, placements and size.

So perhaps that marsh-dwelling dragon comported her-/him-self well Ljubljana-ward if not Vrhnika-ward, right?

Might Vrhnika have the stellar tree-cover reputation of Ljubljana or might that dragon have directed her/his fiery breath toward there?

(Online sources place that dragon in a marsh-sided lake between Ljubljana and Vrhnika!)

As I said, I have a very long list of projects to work on...

Well, France love roosters, that's for sure:) There are also swans and geese in coats of arms. My city has a dragon... If you look, you'll find!

Your comment two boxes below, in answer to my previous observation and question, intrigues me.

Your comment mentions star symbolism as mandating a full article.

Might you be mulling a full-article wizzley on star symbolism in fairy tales?

(That would be as appreciated and informative and timeless and timely as your wizzley on forests in fairy tales ;-D!)

Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

Benjamin Franklin disliked displaying the bald eagle as independent-day bird! He instead favored the turkey.

Might any European countries have mustered up a bird such as a chicken or a turkey?

I believe the 'Fathers' were still very connected to Europe. And if you check some state symbols in Europe, you'll find an eagle at the top of the elements in the coats of arms. It's very universal. a horse could make it, in my opinion, if there is a story behind. But in general, mythology wins, and eagles are there right with the dragons and lions.

Sorry, I wouldn't know that. They symbolism of the stars could make for a full article on its own. Symbolism of flags is another story. So many challeges in front (or shall I say above) us!

Unlock Your Financial Freedom: Essential Tools for Starting a Home-Based Business

The computer crashed -- ;-{ -- before I commenced another component of my dedicated-space observations and question.

Is it more effective -- albeit more expensive -- for work-at-homers to have not only designated office rooms but also designated bathrooms in their homes?

(Might work-at-homers have to work a second job by making themselves their own new hire as their own designated-office space "sanitary engineer" [= highfalutinese for cleaner ;-D]?)

How To Set Up Your Work From Home Income Generating System

Thank you for your comment the second comment box down in answer to my previous observations and questions.

This wizzley -- like your others -- is timeless, timely and trustworthy in its images and information.

In particular, the images of the blue-topped black mouse, of the water glass with the healthily delicious apple and of your pro-non-sacrificial doer and your no-power books matter with everything else.

And yet at the same time might they in a way matter more with their messages about -- ;-D -- the power of oneself, the power of you?

Classic North Indian Chai, Exotically Spiced Tea as Desired

katiem2, That was so sweet of your daughter to mix a powder blend so you only had to add warm milk and honey!

Your prescient description of the unique variations displayed throughout India's regions reveals your sensitivity to India's distinctive cultural unity.
I asked my sister for recommendations on fine instant brands, as she has studied and traveled India extensively. She suggested Garden of Life Organics Golden Milk Recovery & Nourishment Powder and also Nature's Harvest Turmeric Latte Mix, both available via Amazon.

I hope that you enjoy them.

3 Best Blue Lotus Oils And Benefits That Wow You

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

This wizzley -- like all your writings here and elsewhere ;-D -- is so timeless and timely in its images and its information.

What healthier, pleasanter way to launch summer activities and fun than with one-stop shop -- with all the necessary information in one place there too -- about blue lotus oil products?
