Hello WordpressThis journal has moved. I've had enough of LJ - increasingly it's looking like last century's tech in terms of what I need. I'll keep the free account just to aggregate my friends pages. So I'll still be commenting on your LJs ( Read more... )

This is great. "Lucy at the River" is particularly inspired, I thought (also mirrored).
