Green porno reaches out and touches you

In a way that dry facts can't touch you. I especially like the big, wet slimy foot images in snail sex (below). Isabella Rossellini delivers bug sex performance art like you've never seen it before.

Celebrating fish in the northwest

Don't let the dead sturgeon fool you, we revere our fish here in the northwest. In fact, some might say we regard them too highly. Ray Troll asks: Fish worship, is it wrong?

Regardless, here's a freeway overpass in The Dalles, Oregon, with a truly beautiful salmon and sturgeon sculpture doing double duty as a fence to make sure people don't drop bricks on passing cars.

I took this picture the same day I took the picture of the sturgeon in the previous post. Can we harness this sentiment and solve our problems? I sure hope so.

I guess you can tell that I'm back from vacation and ready to inflict more blogging on anyone daft enough to read this stuff.

Nature as art

I stumbled across Natural Curiosities' website looking for a gift and got lost in their extensive collection of seaweeds, corals, fish, and "floating eggs/magic mushrooms." If you're late with your father's day gift, and your father is, say, Dr. Steve Murray, you may want to check these out. After all:

It is important to note that seaweeds are a very strong trend as a decorative piece of art due to the ability of it to suit both traditional and contemporary settings.

Algae: a strong decorative trend you can make face cream from. What more could you ask for?
