This short video, Murmuration, by Sophie Windsor Clive, has been making the rounds on Facebook and I thought I would post it here for any of you who have missed it. It really is a beauty and I have a couple of links for any of you who want to know more about Murmuration.

And here are the links to a fascinating piece in the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/aug/21/starlings-flock-together-study?INTCMP=SRCH
and another in Wired [again thanks to Leigh for this link]

And because I have decided today is fun day, a treat for all the font, lettering, kerning ect. types out there. Another way to productively procrastinate. It's a game to help you learn to kern type. OK, so I know it's not for everybody, but I LOVE it. Thank-you Suzanne for this.
Kern Type, the kerning game

No matter how many times you see the starlings in flight, it is always amazing and beautiful. One of the joys of autumn. Thankyou. Ann
