Swertia

Swertia is a genus in the gentian family. I know this as Swertia
parryi, but I have also seen it listed as Frasera parryi.

The Big Time


SCHOOL FOR SACKING | More Intelligent Life


The above link takes one to the "The Economist" More Intelligent Life web site and an article that uses one of my photos (from my "A Day In Los Angeles" series) for an illustration.

It is an interesting read. I am glad that I shall not be put in a position where I will have to sack anybody before I retire in about nine months. Hopefully, I will not get sacked prior to that either.

But, in either event, I am looking forward to shifting my sense of self from ‘I am a person with a job’ to ‘I am a person with a serious passion for photography.’

Basil (Ocimum basilicum)


Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
Originally uploaded by The Marmot
Mediterranean and Indochinese cuisines often use basil, the former frequently combining it with tomato. Basil is one of the main ingredients in pesto—a green Italian oil-and-herb sauce from the city of Genoa, its other two main ingredients being olive oil and pine nuts.

This photograph has become one of my most popular. It was first picked up by "Botany Photo of the Day". Recently, it has been used by two blogs:

"Eco Child's Play" and "EcoMetro" (Portland, OR)

This Father's Day, give the old man a great meal!




This Father's Day, give the old man a great meal - Worldnews.com

Another fun article that used one of my photographs. This one was credited to my real name so the "Marmot widget" did not pick it up and so it was well past Father's Day by the time I found it.
