Natural Connections

Modern life in Scotland is increasingly busy. The connections our ancestors had with nature and the land are being lost. As leisure time shrinks, or is filled with hi-tech experiences, opportunities to experience nature become fewer. And yet it is possible to connect with nature on a day to day basis. All around us, the great web of life continues to hold its shape, and nature continues its eternal cycles. Keep looking, listening, smelling, touching - and keep experiencing natural connections.

Three-quarters of the way through my study trip to Ireland, I spent most of today at Newgrange, a Neolithic site in the Boyne valley. The huge ridge-top structure there is very impressive (photo). Highlights were the 5,000 year old carvings on the "kerbstones" (picture) and the amazing, cruciform inner-chamber. Noticed a few Swallows thereabouts, plus lots of Hooded Crows and Rooks, a few Magpies and a solitary Collared Dove.
