If one grinds an axe too much you will eventually be left with no axe, and only a hilt.<BR/>Here I post material not appropriate for SAS, or off topic, and also whatever I feel like posting.<BR/><BR/>I will look for the pic you speak of, and I willc also add some of the Marianne North botanical paintings with a link to the side bar.<BR/>Thanks for the good suggestions!Dark Ravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366782151533247397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711579187694039382.post-90707240677033845582008-06-16T23:41:00.000+02:002008-06-16T23:41:00.000+02:00Is this your real blog? Exquisite! I was wondering about the Art, and the Culture. You're too <I>heavy</I>, sometimes, on SAS, and there's more to you, than axe-grinding.<BR/><BR/>Now be a good girl, Eugene is all very well, but find that painting of Hendrik Verwoerd, the one where he is sitting on the cart, in the evening sun, with a beatific expression of goodwill on his face. It's the most evocative, and the most heart-rending, of all South African pictures.<BR/><BR/>And then do as I do, and raid the Marianne North online collection at Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, for all the beautiful South African fauna and flora.<BR/><BR/>Only a suggestion. Well, two. <BR/><BR/>SDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
