WELCOME! These pages try to show what is beautiful or interesting or entertaining in life and in nature, and highlight some developments in science and technology that benefit people and the environment. You will also find introductions to many good stumblers here, and hopefully some interesting links and a few laughs!

P.S. Even though sex can be beautiful and/or entertaining, and is always interesting, there is no "adult" stuff on these pages. It's only fair to warn you.

A SPECIAL WORD OF APPRECIATION to those of you who take the trouble to identify (and/or provide links that will get to) the authors of photos, paintings and other works of art, and who thank other people for stuff that you borrow or for giving you a nice review. As far as I am concerned, whether you have 1 fan or 1,000 fans, people like you are the real "Top Stumblers".

IMAGE SEARCHES - If you are looking for good images that stumblers have already found, or new images in various categories, I have some suggested sites and image searches that you may find useful. Try image-searches-art, image-searches-photos, or image-searches. These are tag lists that I add to from time to time.

HELP FOR STUMBLERS - Here is some essential reading, including some excellent guides, and some examples of HTML for hyperlinks and for laying out images and text (that work for both IE and Firefox).

See also "Subscribing to interesting stumblers" and "Friends & subscribers - what has changed?".

I'm taking a break from stumbling for a couple of weeks or so... SU fatigue setting in, and some other nice things to do!

I'll leave you with this little item (author unknown), snaffled gratefully from Pearl's delightful pages.

Meanwhile, hopefully you'll find something to interest you here, or check out my personal list of Gold Stumblers, where there is much treasure to be found.

People who like my StumbleUpon pages may like to know that I have opened a different blog as part of my web site.

The new blog is an assorted collection of thoughts and opinions that I have accumulated over a long period of time (a bit like those dusty old boxes in the attic), turned into something that I think people might actually want to read. People familiar with my SU pages will recognize several of them, although in the new blog I can be a bit more long-winded.

If you aren't in a hurry and don't mind reading stuff without too many pictures, you are welcome to make a cup of coffee and stop by!

Autumn & Unchained Dreams

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:36:09 -0700

This is from the spiritual (non-SU) blog of a rather wonderful lady called Jonie. She has divided her blog into a number of sections, each with a theme illustrated by beautiful pictures and thoughts. Jonie is obviously deeply Christian, but her blog will strike a chord with many people of other faiths, or none.

The only problem I have with her blog is that she doesn't credit the authors of the wonderful pictures that she finds, so I can't tell you who was responsible for this one.

Jonie's blog was one of many good things to be found on the pages of meleona. Thanks, Kamelia!
