St Kildascape, Winter 2006

St Kildascape, Winter 2006, originally uploaded by deliab.

I'm glad I took this photo, at our back door, about a month ago. Already, the splendid moment is passed.

I posted the photo here directly from Flickr.

Another view of WOMAD

Not wooden women




I joined You Tube today.

It's marvellous to be able to send my digital story straight to my Biddy blog.

I made this early work in summer last year.

Scarfscape


I have had a delightful day today,
filming a diversity of scapes around St Kilda.
I blogged this row of my scarves straight from Picasa.

A test e-mail post: Global Voices Online

I sent the information below to this spot by e-mail.

The world is talking. Are you listening?

A growing number of bloggers around the world are emerging as “bridge bloggers:” people who are talking about their country or region to a global audience. Global Voices is your guide to the most interesting conversations, information, and ideas appearing around the world on various forms of participatory media such as blogs, podcasts, photo sharing sites, and videoblogs.

An ancient Celtic poem

I posted this poem from Word.

I have been in many shapes
I have been a narrow blade of grass
I have been a drop in the air
I have been a shining star
I have been a word in a book
I have been an eagle
I have been a boat on the sea
I have been a string on a harp
I have been enchanted for a year on the foam of the water
There is nothing in which I have not been.

An ancient Celtic poem, The Song of Amergin

Keeping track




I now have so many sites, I am being more conscientious about gathering them together in the one place. del.icio.us is ideal.

Lavender power





May the healing powers
of lavender
permeate my blog!

Another online repository

* I have just opened a new site at http://multiply.com.
* Slowly, I am trying to work out the distinctive qualities and virtues of all these online repositories and aggregators.
* On my site, you can see a photo of Biddy Bannon,
my Irish grandmother and this blog's namesake.

In honour of Brigid

this is an audio post - click to play


Brigid's feast day is the 1st of February, Imbolc in the ancient Celtic calendar. Imbolc is the mid-winter celebration held to herald the return of light and fertility as the Earth prepares to awaken from her winter hibernation.
