okay, so i'm still experimenting with the colour scheme - i've tried a number of different colour combinations over the weekend (yeah, pretty much the whole weekend - well, apart from the 'necessary domestics' - you'd think i had nothing else to do!! - so many colours, so many decisions!!)... i do like this one the best so far though - except if the dark transparency between text and graphic doesn't 'kick in' you can barely read a thing - if that happens just refresh the page - feedback is welcome...
you might have noticed i've changed the background image from dingoes to a wolf... why? these magnificent creatures are a threatened species, with government sanctioned slaughter happening in many states in america now... this is in memory of those brutally slain in the last few months...

i've spent way too much time playing around with colours which means this is just a quick post - so i thought i'd share some of louise du toit's beautiful music... louise is a south african artist, musician, singer, composer, arranger, lyricist, actor, writer and painter and is "using her music and art to spread a worldwide message of environmental and wildlife preservation. Her most recent work includes a list of music videos for various animals rights organizations, aimed at raising awareness about the plight of animals in their struggle for survival" ... read more here
for the wolves...
for the brumbies...
i hope you enjoy these beautiful music clips... but if these aren't enough for you, you can view more of her wonderful creations here...

I like this color scheme better, because it is easier to read the text.
The wolf video is glorious. The other animal I would add is the shark.
I couldn't see anything but a white rectangle below the brumbies writing.
Like the colour scheme and love your blog...the only suggestion I would make is you should think about a website!
thank you parlance - i appreciate your comments... i recently came across louise du toit's work on another blog - her work is stunning... she has clips for many other endangered and abused animals, some feature her own artwork, and she is well worthwhile checking out on youtube...
the vid you weren't seeing was about brumbies - unfortunately third-party hosted widgets from sites like youtube can have problems - usually resolved with a refresh of the screen (unless the site itself is down)...
and yes, sharks suffer terrible, brutal abuse and deserve recognition... perhaps a theme for a post very soon...
and thank you argo... but a website - why? although in asking that i just realised i could include, highlight and link to many more important articles and sites... one day, maybe...
Awe,love your blog!!! I just followed you. I am new to blogger, and hoping you'll follow back. Thanks in advance!
thank you "the ebay lady" - appreciate you taking the time to comment...
