To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... common grackle), into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slide(s) for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice. 


Hint for readers: to enlarge any photo or slide in these presentations, click on it, then follow the thumbnails at the bottom of the post (for computer 'web-version', not for 'mobile version'). To exit this enlarged mode, don't panic, but CLICK on the small 'x' at the upper right of the black background field.


b) Today's Offering (Dec 7, 2024):



Authors' Note: heine (EHN): French for hate, hatred

 hateful can mean either "full of hate" or "eliciting/deserving hatred". The latter meaning applies particularly to its synonym heinous.
