LEUCISTIC GOOSE

Leucism is a genetic mutation that alters the natural colouring of the covering of an animal or bird.
Unlike albinism it isn't just the amount of melanin that is effected.



I took this photo of a leucistic Canada goose by the boating lake near where I live.
Apart from the colour, he was just like the others around him. And if the others noticed, they made no difference towards him in their attitude or behaviour. He was very much one of them.
Fascinating stuff.

ORCHID EXAMPLE

THIS is majestic, isn't it?



There are hundreds of them growing along the side of a main road that cuts through a green area within five minutes of my home.
I can detect the hand of the Grand Architect that cooked up the materials that led to the evolutionary path that is here at the moment.
Me? It's just come home to me in the most fascinating and delightful way that my cats are felids and that I am a primate.

TOP TEN FREETHINKER SONGS : NUMBER ONE

And at last here we are, number one in my personal top ten freethinker songs.
I chose it as number one on purpose, because to me it rolls freethought, free expression, free everything, into one, and with no hint of any need for a deity at all.
This is the song.
It's:
Nina Simone-Ain't Got No (I Got Life)



OK, thanks for sticking around through this top ten, and it's back to the critiquing religious belief and religious people now.
