Ps. My husband is in Australia right now. I’m really upset that I didn’t go with him. He seems so many beautiful birds and of course kangaroos. I really hope I get to visit someday. This time he’s there for a while to Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne… there’s an old observatory outside of Canberra that he got to visit and that’s where all the kangaroos were! I just watched this really interesting movie which I streamed because I couldn’t get the book immediately and I really wanted to read the book called the Hunter? Have you heard of it? Willem Defoe was in the movie…. woman wrote the novel. I can’t recall her name right now. I’m still waiting for the book to arrive! It’s said Tasmania and it’s about the Tasmanian tiger. It was really interesting.
Your arrangement looks so effortless! It is so accessible. I would find memory after memory gazing along with its point of view. The video shorts I've seen that demonstrate the creation of the supporting architecture show how carefully the construction is assembled. Fascinating, though I've never attempted anything like it seeing as how all I've got blooming is buttercups. Lol! The world would be a tone deaf monotony of habitats if flowers didn't kiss the sky.
It’s really hard to make those supporting architecture things! There’s two kinds in the introductory level that we learn and they’re really hard …. think I’m ever going to get it right! What would the world be without flowers? I am really enjoying that book by David Haskell about Flowers. The opening chapter, especially about magnolias was just fantastic.
I appreciate your thoughts on the sky and emptiness, Leanne! I've been going through my earliest photos of the sky, from when I began to take daily photos of it in 2022, and pondering which to keep and why I take these photos. The idea of the sky as a generative space gives me a new angle to look at those questions. Thanks so much!
I’m so happy to hear from you! There was a book I meant to read a while back about cloud viewing. I have to go back and find the book name. Maybe you know it but about classifying and kind of aesthetically viewing clouds!
This is not the one I was thinking of, but have you seen this book? I have enjoy looking at parts of it here and there! The Invention of Clouds: How an Amateur Meteorologist Forged the Language of the Skies
All of this reminds me of this book: Water of the Sky: A Dictionary of 2,000 Japanese Rain Words, by Miya Ando. Do you know that one? I thought it was a fascinating concept, and I loved her drawings.
All three of those look fascinating, thank you! Gavin Pretor-Pinney's name sounds familiar; maybe I saw that book at the library at some point. I'll look it up; thanks so much!
I keep a copy of pretor-pinney's cloud collector book in our guest bedroom's bedside table for visitors. we are lucky to have big sky where I live.
It's a wonderful book!!!
I’m not so keen on the oral rendition of your article. Sujetsuryu indeed!

Pity he’s not coming our way
Because I had no idea there was an audible version! That is bizarre—— I wonder is it AI?
This is why we named our daughter Sora, boundless, filled with potential...
It’s an absolute beautiful name. I love her name so much!

I always love your posts here!
I don't think I know that book, but if you find the name, I'd love to know what it is!
I found it! This is the book: The Cloudspotter's Guide: The Science, History, and Culture of Clouds
Pretor-Pinney, Gavin--you might have it already. I also really love this book, though not as relevant https://www.sup.org/books/art-and-visual-culture/theory-cloud

I wrote a post about it! It was actually one of my most read posts! I love the book and the physical aspect of the book as well published by MIT!!! https://dreaminginjapanese.substack.com/p/words-for-rain
Oh, good! I don't know how I missed that, but I'm happy to see it now.

I love all three of these books and they remind me of you a lot!
I look forward to reading them! ❤️
