This blog is devoted to expanding people’s awareness and appreciation of natural, artistic and odd things around the globe. When someone learns a foreign language they start with the simplest of animals, dog and cat. We then expand that into the basic farm animals, cows duck, horse etc. But we never learn the foreign word for water buffalo or kinkajou. It is the same when we learn our own language only the subset is slightly larger. All english speakers know not only the basics, but elk and hippo and ocelot. But not everyone knows the pine marten, or the pika or gibbon. This small subset of knowledge is a strategy that we use for every category. We know only a few avatars for architects, wonders of the world, physicists etc. SO for every known example that is common public knowledge, there are many incredible unknowns that are startling and soul expanding. That’s what I want to bring to people’s attention with this blog.
