Winter starts out quite a pleasant season - cold, but there's a beauty in the stillness nature acquires. However, it mostly ends a bit of a dirty grimy season, where we're all just tired of it always being dark and cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roll on spring!</description><link>http://theblack.org/blog/2009/01/farewell-christmas.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sarum)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905810.post-3950451705028343462</guid><pubDate>Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-31T15:04:12.803Z</atom:updated><title>Starting Again</title><description>A new year (well, in an hour or three) feels like a good time to start again. There's a lot of incoherent rambling on the old TheBlack.org, a good half or which I pretty much wish I'd never thought never mind written. So out with the old, in with the new!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now have real camera, and hope to find time to actually use it creatively (moody morning mist pictures, dew on spiders webs, sunset in the clouds, etc). If I produce anything I'm not ashamed of, I'll publish it here. Also some I'll no doubt randomly publish some lengthy unstructured thoughts on the world too. Hopefully, I'll steer clear of the agonizing over stupid stuff that blighted most of the posts from last time around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So happy new year everyone!</description><link>http://theblack.org/blog/2008/12/starting-again.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sarum)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
