OK, before we get started with things here at Swirling Eddies, I want to point you to Snocone Frenzy!, a companion site I've launched to help you get some tasty refreshment (and to kick me in the ass to keep posting...). There's more info there - click the How it Works link for details. Looking forward to heaping great mounds of shaved ice and syrup on each and everyone of ya...
Also, you'll note other links in the left column for other companion sites. In order to make more sense of things, I've created three other blogs, and may add more as things progress. These are just placeholders right now; I'll post notices here when there are page updates for each of these spots:
Swirling Landscapes - As the name implies, I'll be using this to post landscape photos from here and there.
Swirling Flora and Fauna - Animals, plants, and other living stuff will find a home here.
Swirling Yummies - Food and wine photos, along with recipes and reviews, etc. I'm really looking forward to this one; have lots of food photos from over the years that will look extra special nice up on that internet.
Another link you'll find in the sinistral column is to The Daily Mammal, an amazing and inspiring undertaking by Jennifer Rae Atkins. Jennyrae, as she allows me to call her, is on a mission to draw every single mammal known to humankind and post them on her website. This magnificent achievement, given that there are something like 5000+ mammals, will take over 14 years, but JR is off to a great start, with several fascinating and alluringly pelted critters already under her belt. Check it out now - check it out daily!
(Hint: if you ask real nice, and maybe offer cash or other special considerations, Jennifer might be willing to accommodate your requests!)
And finally, just a note about Swirling Eddies: the name relates to my belief that the interesting things in life are found on the edges; just as one may float downstream in the main current of a river, you'll see and learn more if you take the occasional detour off into a swirling eddy... As for Daring Teddies - well, just kinda like 'em. Who doesn't, really?
Alright - see you soon, and fairly regulalry, with any luck.
Ciao, amigo/as..
