Enjoy some nature gifs in HD. [Click images to enlarge.] 

“We’ve picked out a few favorites from Head Like An Orange, home of hundreds of amazing nature GIFs.

Marinus is a 28-year-old from the Netherlands, and he makes GIFs. But not just any GIFs: his Tumblr, Head Like An Orange, is a collection of some of nature’s most stunning, weirdest, sweetest, and funniest moments. At least, they are the best moments captured on film, put into TV shows, and edited down into short, spellbinding loops.

Are the ones we’ve picked out here the best GIFs on Marinus’s blog? We don’t know—there are hundreds to choose from, and they are all wonderful. But here are a few of the highlights.”

“He that can write a true Book, to persuade England, is not he the Bishop and Archbishop, the Primate of England and of All England? I many a time say, the writers of Newspapers, Pamphlets, Poems, Books, these are the real working effective Church of a modern country.”
Thomas Carlyle

all you do is memorise the headlines: Three Variations on Old King Cole

paratactician:

After Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Cole, that unwearied prince of Colchester,
Growing more gay with age and with long days
Deeper in laughter and desire of life,
As that Virginian climber on our walls
Flames scarlet with the fading of the year;
Called for his wassail and that other weed
Virginian also,…

wait this is actually perfect

Anonymous asked: What are some highlights? academically? socially? other?

Dunno if I’m comfortable discussing either of those on my blog, especially at the request of a greyface. Come off anon, anon; we’ll have a proper discussion.
