Nice people deserve recognition, anyway.<BR/>I was thrilled to have been sought out and assisted by Evan, but I had been too busy up until last night to publicly thank you and him. <BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-72427386745063110962007-07-29T07:59:00.000+10:002007-07-29T07:59:00.000+10:00>>By the way, is it just me, or do frogs look part...>>By the way, is it just me, or do frogs look particularly "naked" when seen through a window, like this? I guess it is just that we seldom see them this close, and from this "intimate" angle.<<<BR/><BR/>I laughed out loud at this comment, Denis. And you are right, the frog does look particularly naked.<BR/><BR/>The only Perons Tree Frog that I have seen was dead - freshly killed by a Stephens Banded Snake in the rainforest of Barrington National Park. It was an amazing sight, that remains fresh in my memory - a scene of struggle, death and survival.<BR/><BR/>GayeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-5913889573014174572007-07-29T07:54:00.000+10:002007-07-29T07:54:00.000+10:00hello Denis,you would not believe that your froggy...hello Denis,<BR/><BR/>you would not believe that your froggy post acknowledging and praising those who give of their knowledge so liberally and happily, brought a tear to my eye. But it did.<BR/><BR/>I have also come in contact with those who meter their specialised knowledge sparingly, or not at all, so some, while giving generously to those who might seem (in their eyes) more worthy. This is beyond my understanding. But it is there.<BR/><BR/>I have also come in contact with those who will give generously and without limitations to all and sundry of their specialised knowledge and vast experience. These people I admire, but at the same time, I know the sharing and giving of their knowledge, experience, time and effort simply comes natural and is no special trait of theirs - it is purely part of who they are. It is a pleasure to have come in contact with these people who enrich our lives and knowledge base, encourage us to question and search.<BR/><BR/>I have no specialised knowledge, as such, to share, but I have plenty of enthusiasm and life experience. My aim with my nature blog, and sharing that I participate in in other places, is to raise awareness of the wondrous nature that we live amongst and have a duty-of-care over. At the same time, I learn.<BR/><BR/>I have contacted Hunter Valley newspapers detailing some of my observations that local residents might find of interest in my nature blog. I'm hoping to reach students, families, and people who might not previously have given much thought to the intricacies and value of nature.<BR/><BR/>Our children and young adults of today will be the future care-takers of our planet.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject of sharing knowledge and experience.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>GayeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
