THE LOUNGE
The Lounge is the newly expanded free-talk section of the Forum. You can post anything here about any topic outside English grammar and usage. Wide-ranging discussions and debates will be allowed in the Lounge subject only to the condition that the subjects are not unlawful, obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, and threatening. As in the Forum’s sections on English grammar and usage, we expect discussants to keep the Lounge a vibrant venue for relevant, healthy, and civilized discussions, not impertinent, angry, or violent ones.
So if you have any non-grammar thought or idea you’d like to share, make the Lounge the sounding board for it now! Let your fellow Forum members help you germinate the seed of that idea if it’s a good one—or terminate it if it turns out to be otherwise.
Videos: “The Life of the Flowers” and “The Beauty of Pollination”
U.S.-based Forum member Angel Casillan shares with us two wondrous video shows: “La Vida de las Flores” (“The Life of the Flowers) and “What Goes On in the Garden.”
He sent in the link to the “La Vida de las Flores” video with this note:
“You are going to love this...
“Each flower is filmed for two days and photos are collated within 7 minutes to get this effect.”
The video was created by Vladimir Vorobyov in Aztana City, Kazakhstan.
Angel earlier sent the link to the “What Goes On in the Garden” video with this note:
“Absolutely gorgeous! This is beautiful... be sure and watch closely (at around 2 min 40 sec) and check out the baby bat under its mama. Unreal! If you ever knew what goes on in the garden when you aren’t paying attention! This is pretty much some of the finest photography you will ever see!”
View and enjoy the two videos now!
