There are gardens that dazzle. There are gardens that soothe. And then there are gardens that haunt you. That lodge themselves in the corners of your mind and whisper to you years after you've gone. Today, I want to tell you about one of those. A place where history and nature have coiled so tightly around each other, it's hard to tell where stone ends and blossom begins. This is Ninfa - The Garden of the Nymphs. Located just south of Rome, near Cisterna di Latina, Ninfa is unlike anywhere else.Diarmuid Gavin, Garden Designer tells us all about these wonderful gardens.All with thanks to Tirlán.

In this week's episode, we're heading back over to Ancient Greece and Rome for a fan favourite, the Dryad! How similar are Dryads and Nymphs? Why do they hate hiding from humans and gods so much?

Join award-winning fantasy and dreampunk author, Anna Tizard, in a journey into unexpected stories using the surrealist word game of Exquisite Corpse. Listeners' words are drawn from the legendary Socks of Destiny and mixed into weird writing prompts which end up making more sense than they should! This time, nature spirits are the emerging theme, for three chilling story ideas. Grab a blanket – grab a pen! – and switch your imagination on with these stories and ideas for the ultimate writing prompt challenge. Subscribe for free to Anna Tizard's private email list and get vol 1 in The Book of Exquisite Corpse plus exclusive material not published anywhere else! All at www.annatizard.com. INTRO: Hello imaginative people! I'm Anna Tizard and this is episode 68 of Brainstoryum. Once again, I will be pulling words at random from the socks of destiny to create writing prompts like you've never heard before. It's occurred to me that the best of the three always comes last in the show but that new listeners might not know this as you begin listening. Well, as usual, the fullest story, and perhaps the best one of the bunch, unfolds last, almost as if the tensions and half-glimpsed mysteries of the first two story ideas, with all their brewing potential, gather like a story-force finally breaking through; the early meanderings of the curious imagination, after a little time – a bit of warming up – are ready by writing prompt no. 3 to sharpen their focus and find a clearer beginning, middle and an end. Maybe as writers and storytellers we are all bound to dabble, and daydream about many possibilities, some of which are always going to be left half-explored – until we reach (or come across) an idea that's really worth grabbing with both hands and turning it into something fuller. So listen on to the end, my friend, for as usual, I leave the best to last.

We love both of these groups! We really appreciate it! You have actually been playing our music since our first album in 2015 and we are very grateful Just noticed though that in both of these latest podcasts, you are linking to the wrong band. Our website is www.TheRiverDrivers.com Thanks again for all you do for the music!" Please send corrections. River G. emailed an Android podcatcher recommendation: "Marc, Just a quick recommendation of another great podcast app on Android. It's called AntennaPod and is truly free. I attached a screenshot so people know what the icon looks like. (It may also be on IOS, but I'm not sure.) Shel O'Toole emailed: "Hi Marc, I usually listen to your show when I'm working from home but podcast # 681 Lady of the House I saved for my drive back home from a visit to my sister. Listening to the music brought memories of my father who played numerous instruments,  solo and with others.  The banjo was my favourite (which Is probably why I play banjo), followed by the  accordion, he had both button and piano accordions, and the fiddle. He also played harmonica, piano and even the gum leaf (definitely an Australian thing). I took my father's violin which I had restored recently so my sister could see it for herself.  It was in a terrible state when it came to me but its voice is restored and it's very pleasant.  Now the challenge of learning to play. I look forward to the podcast every week, so thanks Marc for all you do and for the magic you create in weaving together the music of Ireland and the music influenced by Ireland and the stories of the people who are touched by the force of the Celts. Warm regards"  

The Ancient Greeks believed they existed before the dawn of time, yet they're a mystery to most, so, for this week's Bonus Episode we're exploring the long and complex history of Nymphs!Part of the "Three Ravens Bestiary" series, we start off discussing the roles Nymphs played in the Greco-Roman pantheon, including how they were classified and eventually used, in Imperial projects, to present local and regional gods of pagan cultures, such as the Celts and Britons, as less powerful than the Olympians. This then sees us look at examples of some ancient genius loci from across England, including those found in shrines at Hadrian's Wall, where some local deities defied the odds and survived well into Christianization, later becoming recognised as Saints. From there we head in two directions - firstly, forward, via Chaucer, Marvell and Shakespeare, into a place where Nymphs and Faeries got a little bit muddled up in the British mindset. After that, we journey back to the start, exploring how writers like Hesiod, Homer, and many others, developed and contributed to the collective idea of 'Nymph Lore' - the roles Nymphs played in city foundation, how they were worshiped, and what 'Nympholepsy' - Nymph Madness - was, and why some people sought it out! Via discussions of the 18th century invention of the idea of 'Nymphomania' - in contrast with other misogynistic (and anti-British) ideas such as Tacitus' characterisation of the Roman Witch Empress Messalina, the vengeful Iceni Queen Boudica, and figures like Britannicus, we wash up in the present day - a time when being called a "nymph" seems to have nothing to do with nature spirits, and much more to do with systems of power and control...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode Martin is whisking us up to Worcestershire in England's West Midlands and telling us his take on the legend of "The Malvern Ogre."We start off chatting about what Martin calls 'a proper saint' - his namesake, St Martin - including his life as a goose-bothering wandering necromancer and the strange part-bloody, part-weather related traditions associated with today's festival of Martinmas. After that we set off for Worcestershire, a sometimes overlooked county with extraordinarily rich history and folklore to be found in just about every corner.We discuss topics including the very frequently-destroyed County Town of Worcester, the county's plethora of standing stones and its fractious past, then Martin grabs up his bottle of Worcestershire Sauce and chats through the county's extremely rich culinary heritage, and its offal-centred ancient delicacy, Tenbury Pie, for this week's County Dish.As for folklore, interspersed with some excerpts from next Saturday's Local Legends interview with Worcestershire local, folklorist and author Hugh Williams, we talk about the county's resident centaur, its fairies, black dog legend, a spontaneously combusting witch from Kidderminster, and much more besides.Then it's on to the main event: Martin's story, "The Malvern Ogre" which, in a change of pace from recent weeks, is a jolly tale about people-eating monsters, personal hygiene, and the magical power of kindness.We hope you enjoy it, and will be back on Thursday with a new Three Ravens Bestiary bonus episode about Nymphs and, if you're a Patreon supporter, our November Patreon Exclusive episode about The Medway Megaliths, all ahead of Saturday's full Local Legends chat with Hugh!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

Nymphing is by far the most effective way to catch fish on a fly rod. After all, 80% of a fish's diet is made up of nymphs! But how do you become FANTASTIC at nymphing? Once you have a good grasp of the bascis, what are the skills and techniques you should focus on to become confident with your nymphing?  On this episode of Untangled, Spencer Durrant will walk you through four advanced nymphing strategies to help you go from lucking into fish every now and then, to consistently catching tons of fish on nymphs.  You'll also learn about:  The best fly rod for small stream fishing The colors trout see, and how they impact the flies those trout eat How to get started in fly fishing  LINKS FROM THE SHOW Get the Free Year-Round Hatch Chart - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENTS - SUBMIT HERE PICTURE - Kent's #LiveReelLife Moment - CHECK IT OUT PODCAST - Nymphing 101 (Episode 47) -  CHECK IT OUT GEAR - VFC Fly Flinger Rod -  CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - Beginner Fly Rod FAQs - CHECK IT OUT ARTICLE - How Trout See - CHECK IT OUT GEAR - VFC Starter Packs - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - Beginner Fly Fishing Masterclass - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - Fly Selection Masterclass - CHECK IT OUT

If you don't rig your flies correctly, you won't catch fish.  Alright, that's a bit dramatic - but it's not far off from the truth! The way your flies are rigged impacts your ability to present them in as realistic a way as possible. And since our goal is to fool fish into thinking our fake fly is the real thing, you can see how important it is to correctly rig your flies. In this episode, Spencer Durrant walks you through how he rigs his dries, nymphs, and streamers, sharing the exact steps he uses after 20 years of fly fishing, a few years of guiding, and teaching thousands of new anglers here at VFC.  You'll also learn about:  How to correctly size tippet for multi-fly rigs The best flies to start with when you begin your day on the water Tips for casting in the wind How to tell what size and type certain flies are  LINKS FROM THE SHOW DOWNLOAD - Rigs & Knots Pocket Guide - CHECK IT OUT

What the heck is a dry fly? And what are nymphs for? And what about streamers -  those are party decorations, right? So, why would anyone fish with that? If you've found yourself asking these questions, you're not alone. The world of flies is confusing, especially for beginners. Luckily, you have a Diet Coke-swilling guide to help you understand all the different flies we use for fly fishing. On this episode of Untangled, Spencer Durrant will walk you through everything to know about the different types of flies, including the instances when you might want to use them. You'll also learn about:  The best cities to live in if you want to be near great trout fishing How to safely wade a river Some tips on mending  LINKS FROM THE SHOW

For this last chapter of the cicada arc, we journey to the area around Chicago to record the amazing cicada party for ourselves -- and YOU!In this episode, you'll see periodical cicadas shedding their exoskeletons and transitioning into adulthood. We share it all, from watching nymphs emerge from the ground to seeing adults ready to take flight. We highlight the differences between male and female cicadas, and the unique characteristics of their exoskeletons and ovipositors. We take you into the Cicada exhibit at the Dunn Museum (featuring insights from Dr. Kritsky @cicadasafari  and amazing artwork from the very talented Samantha Gallagher @sammybeezz). We explore the excitement of cicada enthusiasts gathered to celebrate these extraordinary insects, learn about lifecycle differences between periodical and annual cicadas, and even encounter "zombie cicadas" affected by a fungus. With various exhibits and personal anecdotes, we highlight the unique nature of periodical cicadas in the eastern/central United States. Our adventure concludes with valuable learning experiences, including picture books and STEM/STEAM activities that deepen our understanding of cicadas.

Greek Food, Buzz-kills, & SatyrsBy Quinn_McMullen, in 8 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Chapter 13On Tuesday morning I had the following text exchange:Christina: Are you going to FY Convocation?Quinn: Yes. You?Christina: Can I sit with you?Quinn: Absolutely. Meet at my office at 11:15.Full-time faculty are required to attend three formal events per year: the commencement ceremonies in December and May, and the First Year Convocation at the start of the academic year. We have to wear our academic regalia, or as many faculty members call them,  our wizard robes,  because we look like something out of Harry Potter.As we were walking into the convocation, Chris was behind me, ensuring she would sit next to me.Francesca was slightly ahead of me in the next column, "Quinn, how was your summer?""It was nice and quiet.""Ready to start playing again?'"Just let me know when?""Maybe next week some time. I'll send out a poll for best times.""I'll look for it.""Can we use your barn to rehearse again?""Sure.As we started to file into the seats, Chris grabbed my arm and Zoë was suddenly next to me. I let her go in first. I was blessed to have my lovers on either side of me. We filed in and luckily we had seats out of the sun. I figured if the convocation went for more than ninety minutes we would be in direct sunlight. Black polyester wizard robes plus direct sunlight would mean sun-dried professors in short order.Zoë leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I imagine if everyone knew what has gone on between us."I passed the message to Chris who reached for my hand and hid it under the material.She whispered back, "They'd be scandalized."I smiled, "By the way, I love the way your hair smells."I whispered to Zoë what Chris had said and she in turn held my hand under the robes. Without a doubt, it was the best convocation I had ever been to.Wednesday morning dawned crystal clear. Overnight we had some rain showers and the temperatures could only be described as refreshing. Chris had said she wanted to run, so I was in the barn, getting my bicycle down, when she drove up.Chris got out and leaned against her car door, "Have I told you that you look good in bike shorts.""I think you have, but I don't mind hearing it again."She closed the door and revealed that she was wearing a pair of skin-tight, yellow Lyrica running shorts, her mons and pubes providing topography to the fabric.I remarked, "Speaking of looking good in shorts. You are looking good Dr. Ashby.""Do you like them? I bought them especially for you.""I love them. I may have to ride behind you so I can admire the view.""As long as you have my water, you can ride wherever you want. The neighbors might think you're a dirty old man though.""Good point."Chris stretched in the drive since the grass was wet. Soon she was running and I was practicing my bicycle domestique duties. As we were entering my drive after the run Chris got a charley horse in her calf.I put her arm over my shoulder to take off some of the weight. "Let's get you inside and I'll rub it out.""Damn this hurts."I helped her to the couch and had her lay down. She had a large knot in her right calf and I gently massaged it. Her groan was part pain, part relief.I started talking to fill the silence, "My college roommate was a runner. He was big on bananas for the potassium. Want one?""Sure."I came back with a banana and a bottle of Gatorade. "This may help with your electrolytes.""Thanks. When you get the knot out, would you mind massaging the rest of my legs?""Would I mind massaging a beautiful woman's legs? Gee, there's a difficult question to answer.""You're impossible."I began working her muscles starting with her feet. The groans started almost immediately. I worked first her right, then her left leg. Chris spread her legs as much as the couch would allow as I worked up to her crotch. I made sure to make contact with the fabric stretched across her vulva as often as possible. I jokingly apologized each time. Then I began on her glutes. I massaged them hard, but was again in teasing mode,  making contact with her fabric-covered anus on several occasions.Chris groaned again, "All this is making me wet."I placed my hand over her crotch. "Yes, I think I can detect some moisture.""I think in the future, a massage will be part of any showering event. Next time I'll get naked first.""I like that idea.""Right now I think you need to lead me up to your shower and clean me really good.""It will be my pleasure.""Mine too." When my class let out on Wednesday, I headed straight to my date with Violet. Her apartment was easy to find and I was knocking on her door two minutes early.She answered it and looked surprised.I said, "Hi. What's the matter?""I've never had a guy come to my door before. Usually, they just send me a text that they're here.""I'm old school. I'll even hold the door for you.""That's so sweet."She gave me a peck on the cheek and we headed to my car. As promised, I opened the door for her. As she was getting in I was again struck by her waist-length black hair. She wore a sundress that had some kind of mustard floral pattern, a stunning match for her raven locks.When I got in, Violet gave me a nice smile, "I know my generation gives your generation a lot of shit, but I kind of enjoy this chivalry stuff."Looking at her I was struck again by her hazel eyes. They were simply enchanting.I smiled, "I don't know if I would call it chivalry. That's the way my father taught me how to treat a lady.""Well, it is very nice. I know some women might object, but I enjoy it.""So where are we going for dinner?""I thought I would give you two choices. We have a nice Italian restaurant and a new Greek place that I have heard really good things about.""They both sound great. Do you have a preference?""I've never had Greek food.""Are you feeling adventurous?""Yeah.""Then Greek it is." As we were driving I was hoping we wouldn't need reservations. Wednesdays usually weren't busy days in the restaurant world. Luckily, my hunch was correct and the hostess found us a very nice table on the patio overlooking the river.Opening the menu, Violet looked a little overwhelmed. "I'm not sure what I should get.""Is there anything you don't like?""I'm not a fan of avocados, but that's probably not an issue here."The waitress came over, "Can I get you anything to start?" She had a bit of an accent."Violet, would you like anything to drink?""A glass of chardonnay, please."The waitress nodded, "And you sir?""I think I'll have the same thing. Could we have an order of these Turkish Cigars?""I'll put that in and be back to with your wine.""Efharisto.""Parakalo."Violet smiled, "You speak Greek?""You just heard most of it.""That's funny," She read the menu, "Spinach and feta wrapped in phyllo dough then lightly fried. That sounds good.""I remember eating something like that when I was in Souda Bay, Crete."The waitress returned with two glasses of wine. "Have you had a chance to decide on an entrée?"I smiled, "Sorry, we were talking. Please give us a couple more minutes."Violet was studying the menu. "Is there anything you would recommend?""Greek food is known for lamb. Anything with it is bound to be good. I've had kuzu makarna and sarma before."Violet read aloud, "Grilled lamb tossed with linguini. I'll stop right there. That sounds wonderful."I picked up my wine glass, "Well, here's to a wonderful research assistant. Thank you so much for your help."We clinked glasses, "Here's to working with a real gentleman."The waitress returned with the appetizer. "Are you ready to order?"Violet pointed at the menu, "I would like the kuzu...""Kuzu makarna. Very good and sir?""I would like the sarma. Oh, wait I see you have souvlaki. I think I'll have that.""Very well. I'll put your order in."Violet speared a cigar and placed it on her plate.

A colleague invites Quinn on a hike. By Quinn_McMullen, in 8 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. The next morning, I woke earlier than usual and made myself a hearty breakfast of eggs, sausage, toast, and coffee. About quarter to nine, there was a knock at the kitchen door. I looked around the corner and saw Zoë. I waved her in."I'm just cleaning up from breakfast. Can I get you anything?"Zoë came in and said, "Got any coffee?"Before I could respond, she had moved to the pot. She grabbed a mug from the cupboard and poured a cup."Milk is in the fridge and there's sugar on the table."Walking from the fridge to the table she came up behind me and gave me a hug. I could feel her breasts on my back. I put my hand up to hold her arms in place, savoring the contact; my cock stirred slightly.Zoë said, "We're going to have a blast. We're going up in the state forest. It's an easy hike, and the late summer wildflowers will be out in the high meadows. I have a nice lunch packed. No mayo."I gave her a smile, "You're being very kind to an old man.""Quinn, you are not old. You look like you're in great shape.""Looks can be deceiving." I finished the frying pan and placed it in the drying rack. "Can I get you anything to eat?""No, all set. Good coffee, though. That must be a Navy habit, cleaning up like that.""That's me. Shipshape and squared away.""I don't know too many guys who do that.""You just don't know the right guys. I have some 'to go' cups if you would like to take your coffee with you.""Yes, please."I broke out the cups, poured her coffee in, and then handed it back. I poured a cup for myself, then quickly rinsed out our mugs and placed them on the drying rack. "You may want to top that off.""Good idea," Zoë said as she moved to the pot. "Ready?"I turned off the coffee machine. "As ready as I will ever be. Let's get going before I change my mind." Zoë drove us to the state forest, about a 45-minute drive. She talked the entire time about several things, but never mentioned Chris. I just listened and nodded a lot. As we pulled into the parking lot, she asked, "What's the temperature?"She pushed a button on the wheel and reported, "Sixty-six. A little chilly to start. I don't think we need jackets, should we bring them in the knapsacks?"I said, "I don't think so. It's only going to get warmer. The weather lady on channel seven said mid-eighties.""Right. It is August after all."As we stood before the trunk of her car, Zoë ran through a mental checklist, "We've got lunch. Some snacks. Water. First aid kit. Plenty of sunscreen for the pale blonde and redhead. Picnic quilt. Looks like we're good to go." She stripped off her running sweats to reveal some short, loose-fitting shorts that showed most of her shapely legs. She took off her jacket and shivered a little. Underneath she was wearing a yellow college t-shirt underneath. I could see a white string bikini tied at the back of her neck. Her erect nipples could be detected through the fabric. She donned a baseball cap.I was wearing knee length shorts and a long sleeved sports shirt. I put my foot up on her bumper and put sunscreen on my calves.Zoë came up alongside of me, "Good idea." I held out the tube of SPF 50 to her and we finished the application."Aren't you going to be hot in long sleeves?" She asked."This shirt is actually really light and designed to keep you cool. Feel."She felt he fabric, "Like those really flimsy bikinis.""Oh, I didn't know that. Plus, I have to keep the dermatologist at bay.""Oh, that's right. You've had how many melanomas?""Three."I put on my broad brimmed hat and tossed my windbreaker into the trunk. "Want me to carry the knapsack?""We have two. You take this one. It has our picnic quilt and extra water,"Zoë handed me a second knapsack. It was fairly light.I put the knapsack on, "Picnic quilt? You sound like a professional hiker and picnicker.""Only the best for us.""Very well. Then lead on my dear colleague because I haven't a clue where I'm going.""Wait, first a selfie for Facebook. You can be an honorary Wood Nymph." She held out her phone and snapped a picture of the two of us. "Okay, let's go."Zoë struck out at a leisurely pace, and I didn't have trouble keeping up on the flat terrain. I also didn't mind the view of her legs. I kept up for about 30 minutes, but as the trail began to slope upward, I started sucking wind and fell behind at least a couple of dozen yards. The trail leveled off and came out in a broad meadow. The temperature had climbed significantly. Sweat was pouring down my face and my shirt was stuck to my chest. Zoë had stopped at a park bench under some shade trees at the edge of the meadow and had set down her knapsack. As I approached, she held out an energy bar."Time for a break and refueling. Serious hiking takes serious refueling.""Sounds good, Captain."Since we were in the shade I peeled off my shirt and laid it out on the bench to dry.Zoë said, "Oh. That's nice. I love a hairy chest."A light breeze felt really good, cooling my skin. I sat down on the bench, stretching my arms out on top of the bench. "Serious hiking? I thought you were going to take it easy on me.""I am, but we need to get you up to speed."Zoë sat down next to me as I caught my breath, our legs touching. Her bare arm against the side of my sweaty torso. Her shoulder tucked in below my armpit. What a nice feeling.She dug in the knapsack, "Here's some ibuprofen. Drink some water. You have to stay hydrated. Drink a lot of water.""Just like survival school." I dutifully downed the pills, drank some water, and took a bite of energy bar."When did you have to go to survival school?" She asked."When I went through flight school. Learned what bugs to eat, how to stay warm and dry. That sort of stuff."The meadow had bloomed in an assortment of wildflowers and some distant hills made an impressive picture.I pointed at the meadow, "This is lovely."Zoë smiled, "That's one reason why we like hiking. Plus, I like having good company." She patted my thigh.I smiled at her, "You are wonderful company."We sat in companionable silence for a minute or two, enjoying the cool breeze. I felt her looking at me and turned my head."Quinn?""Yes, my dear.""Can I ask you a question?""Ask away.""Do you think you will ever get married again?""Actually, I haven't given it much thought. Why? Do you want to apply for the position?"Zoë blushed a deep red.I immediately felt bad for her, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you."She touched my thigh again. "That's okay. It was a silly question.""No, it wasn't. It came from a place of caring, and I was a smart ass. Let me rephrase that." I thought for a moment. "Zoë, I don't know. For me, being married is all in. It is a sacred commitment that you only take with the absolute right person.""So how did you know when you found that person?""Sometimes that's just as hard. The first time for me was not the right person. The second time was. For some people they know right away. For others, they kind of settle. I think that's what I did the first time, settle.""Thanks for that." She leaned over and gave me a peck on the cheek, "It's just something that I have been thinking about for a long time. Haven't found the right person, and I never want to settle.""Never a good idea. You must have had someone you were serious with over the years.""Never the right one. So I guess what I meant to ask was: are you going to look for someone, or are you happy just being a widower? I don't think that came out right either.""Zoë, you're fine." This time I did the touching, patting her shoulder. Her skin was silky smooth. "I don't know. I can tell you that it is very lonely in that big house. My dog kept me company while I had her, but I had to put her down back in the spring. We, humans, are social creatures. We need to be around other people. Last night I was dreading the idea of a hike, but I am so happy I came with you."She put her opposite arm around the front of me and gave me a partial hug, her breast pressed into my side. Having my arm behind her made it easy to reciprocate, and I pulled her close. More bodily contact. My cock was stirring. Psychologists will tell you that touching is an important part of flirting. Our flirting just moved up a notch."Shall we get going?" Zoë said as she stood and pulled her t-shirt over her head. The string bikini that had I seen the top of was very small. It was damp with sweat, and the material clung to her breasts; her areolas visible through the material.My jaw had dropped at the sight of that beautiful body. "Quinn, you surprise me. You look like you've never seen a woman in a bikini before," Zoë said as she handed me the sunscreen."I must admit it has been a while. You are beautiful."She looked surprised, "You think I'm beautiful?""Zoë, you are drop dead gorgeous."She placed her hand on my cheek. "That's sweet." She held her hand there looking into my eyes, smiling. "Could I trouble you to put some sunscreen on my back?"She turned around. I squeezed some sunscreen into my hand and began rubbing it on her back."Ooh! That's cold. You've got me nipped out," she said turning around so I could see her nipples standing at attention inside her bikini.After admiring her for a few seconds, I looked into her eyes, "Yes I have. It must be this flimsy material."She turned around again, and I rubbed the sunscreen onto her shoulders and back."Make sure you get under my waistline. Otherwise I'll burn."I slipped my fingers ever so slightly under the edge of her shorts applying the sunscreen. When I got to the horizontal string of her bikini top, I worked on either side of it."You need to get under the strings. I could use some help with my sides as well." Zoë reached back and released the knot on the lower string on her top. The halter still draped over her breasts. I slowly rubbed in the sunscreen on her back and then started on the sides of her torso. When my hand was at the side of her breast, she turned suddenly, and my hand was on her breast. Zoë looked back smiling."Make sure you get the other one too," she whispered, then pulled the top string and the halter dropped completely away. She turned to face me. "Here, you need some on your face. Maybe on your neck too," as she put both arms around my neck and started rubbing sunscreen.I was tempted to look down at her breasts, but maintained eye contact. My hands roamed freely over her torso, her erect nipples getting their share of attention. I looked down and admired her. Even though she was 40-ish, Zoë had the pert breasts of a 20-year-old. Her breasts were about the perfect champagne glass size by my tactile estimation. Her fair complexion led to fair breasts. Her nipples and the surrounding areolas were pink; the nipples were slightly turned upward.Just then, we heard voices coming up the trail.Zoë reached down and grabbed her top and turned around. "Here tie the bottom."I did as ordered while she tied the top. A quartet of hikers came out of the woods, three women and a guy.Zoë sat back down. "Let's see which direction they go."

Add a Little Crunch to Your Diet with Cicadas: USA insect emergence offers a unique culinary experience. Will you try? THE WORLD OF CICADAS Insects have long been a part of traditional diets worldwide, with cicadas being one such edible insect. In this guide, we'll explore the fascinating world of cicadas, including their nutritional value, life cycle, and how to safely harvest, store, and prepare them for consumption.   Cicadas belong to the superfamily Cicadidae and are known for their robust bodies, broad heads, transparent wings, and distinct compound eyes. With over 3,000 known species, cicadas are divided into annual and periodical cicadas. Periodical cicadas, like Brood XIX, spend most of their lives underground and emerge every 13 or 17 years in synchronized broods. Nutritional Value of Cicadas Cicadas are a valuable source of nutrition, containing high levels of protein and essential amino acids. Studies have shown that cicadas contain more protein than pork and eggs, with low levels of fat and elevated levels of healthy fats like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), according to the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension. How To Find, Prepare and Store Cicadas Finding cicadas requires patience and observation. They are typically found in areas with abundant vegetation, and their emergence can be observed around and after sunset. Nymphs, teneral cicadas, and mature adults can all be found during different stages of their life cycle Before harvesting cicadas, it's crucial to consider safety measures to avoid contamination and ensure freshness. Cicadas can be stored in the freezer for up to a year, and they should be de-winged and blanched before cooking to remove any dirt or pathogens.

Cicadas are native to our area and have been coexisting with their ecosystems for eons and eons.

Welcome to Occult of Personality: esoteric podcast extraordinaire. I'm Greg Kaminsky. Now, in episode number 225, author P.D. Newman returns to the show after an eight year hiatus to discuss his recent book Theurgy: Theory & Practice—The Mysteries of the Ascent to the Divine, Homeric Epics, the Chaldean Oracles, and Neoplatonic Ritual - https://www.amazon.com/Theurgy-Theory-Practice-Mysteries-Ascent/dp/164411836X/.This interview was a real treat because P.D. Newman gives us a great depth of insight into the history, theory, and methods of theurgy—magic of the gods! There were some technical issues with the recording that I did my best to work around. My apologies for that but I know that the content of the conversation more than makes up for it."P. D. Newman has been immersed in the study and practice of alchemy and theurgy for more than two decades. A member of the Masonic Fraternity, the Society of Rosicrucians, and the Martinist Order, he lectures internationally and has published articles in many esoteric journals, including The Scottish Rite Journal, The Masonic Society Journal, and Invisible College. The author of Alchemically Stoned and Angels in Vermilion, Newman lives in Tupelo, Mississippi."The research Newman did in support of this book is really astounding and quite interesting. His scholarship has really made it clear that theurgy as we understand it did not originate in the second century A.D. but has its roots in beginningless time. Furthermore, the understanding of this activity and its context is laid out beautifully in a way that is both scholarly and valuable for practitioners. For me, what made the book so special was that contemplating the implications of his arguments helped me to see and understand that the way I defined theurgy was limiting and inaccurate, but with Newman's words, I can more fully appreciate what is known as the Western esoteric tradition. I heartily recommend Theurgy: Theory & Practice, just like all of Newman's books."In this detailed study, P. D. Newman pushes the roots of theurgy all the way back to before the time of Homer. He shows how the Chaldean Oracles were not only written in Homeric Greek but also in dactylic hexameter, the same meter as the epics of Homer. Linking the Greek shamanic practices of the late Archaic period with the theurgic rites of late antiquity, the author explains how both anabasis, soul ascent, and katabasis, soul descent, can be considered varieties of shamanic soul flight and how these practices existed in ancient Greek culture prior to the influx of shamanic influence from Thrace and the Hyperborean North. The author explores the many theurgic themes and symbolic events in the Odyssey and the Iliad, including the famous journey of Odysseus to Hades and the incident of the funeral pyre of Patroclus. He presents a close analysis of On the Cave of the Nymphs, Porphyry's commentary on Homer's Odyssey, as well as a detailed look at Proclus's symbolic reading of Homer's Iliad, showing how both of these Neoplatonists describe the philosophical theory and the technical ritual praxis of theurgy. Using the Chaldean Oracles as a case study, Newman examines in detail the methods of telestikē, a form of theurgic statue animation, linking this practice to ancient Egyptian and Greek traditions as well as theurgic techniques to divinize the soul."

Max and Tina discuss Charmed season five, episode nineteen: Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun

In this episode of Anchored, I had the pleasure of hosting Lucy Bowden, the visionary founder of Fishing For Everyone, established in 2005. Hailing from Britain, Lucy is not just an angling coach but a passionate angler who discovered her love for the sport at the tender age of five. What sets Lucy apart is her unwavering belief that fishing should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, or ability. Her dedication to breaking down barriers and encouraging inclusivity within the angling community is truly inspiring. As a prominent female angler, Lucy has become a beacon for women in the sport, motivating countless individuals to take up fishing. Her founding principle was simple yet profound: to provide everyone with the opportunity to experience the joy of fishing in a safe and supportive environment.  We discuss Lucy's remarkable journey, making silly decisions in our twenties, private land, coaching, stillwater fishing in the UK, and the empowering ethos behind Fishing For Everyone. I'd like to take a moment to highlight Skip Morris' latest publication, "Top 12 Nymphs for Trout Streams: How, When, and Where to Fish Them." This exceptional book delves into the realms of fly-fishing and fly-tying, guiding readers through twelve outstanding nymph-flies and offering insights on how to effectively catch trout in creeks, streams, and rivers. Each nymph-fly is accompanied by a vivid color photograph, with Skip Morris providing detailed information on its imitation, purpose, and behavior in the water. Morris doesn't just stop there; he shares invaluable tips on how to fish each fly efficiently, including the optimal depth, the best times for fishing, and various proven fishing methods. The book also includes a section to aid in selecting the right fly for specific conditions and choosing the most effective method for presenting it to trout. For both novices and seasoned pros navigating the intricate world of trout flies, Skip Morris' expert guidance simplifies the process. This book not only informs but also entertains, making it a must-read for anyone passionate about fly-fishing.

Series “Below the Meniscus”- The Evolution and Art of Fly Fishing Below the Surface with Nymphs and Wet Flies – A Four Part Series on Hallowed Waters Podcast Progressing in the series from the start of G.E.M. Skues's passion with the sunken fly, and Sawyer's effective tight-line maneuvering of his pheasant tail nymphs to sight-fished chalk stream brown trout, regardless of how heretical they were perceived by the dry fly purists, their movements gained extreme momentum because they caught trout - and lots of them! The benthic and mid-strata fly game accounts for the largest pursued sector of our fly-dangling sport. Now, the competition-born Euro nymphing craze has fueled nymphing into overdrive because it is so effective. Along with fishing traditional soft-hackle and classic wets, more trout are caught and seduced in this venue than any other. In this episode, author and teacher: George Daniel, along with host Supinski, discuss the concepts and origins of the Euro game and discuss misconceptions and critical questions about this very mechanical but effective technique taking North America by storm, which many traditional fly anglers are not fond of.

Series: Below the Meniscus”- The Evolution and Art of Fly Fishing Below the Surface with Nymphs and Wet Flies – A Five Part Series on Hallowed Waters Podcasts Sawyer sums up chalk stream nymphing it up in the traditional fashion: “Nymph fishing, if you are to be successful, is indeed a matter of being careful. It is not just the business of throwing a nymph at all the likely places and hoping the fish will take it. You turn yourself into a hunter and, with all the keenness of a stalker after a stag, figure wits and your eyesight against the facilities and faculties of the wild fish who are on the feed and continually on the lookout for nymphs moving in the water or below”.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda provide their official recap of "Sorrow and Starlight," book 8 of the Zodiac Academy series. Since this was a hefty book, part 1 covers the dramatic reading of the book synopsis, our hosts' thoughts and feelings, and Darcy and Orion's journey in this book. Stay tuned for part 2!

In this six-part series we've covered locations, water types, weather, water and light conditions. We've talked about the gear, about flashlights and headlamps and glow in the dark stuff. We've considered what a good night plan looks like, having a strategy and then adapting.Tactically, we've talked about drifting vs swinging flies, about three levels of the water column, about where to expect trout might feed the most after dark, and we've walked through top water patterns, emergers and streamers at night.This week, we're finishing the series with nymphs, wets and the Harvey Pusher Night flies. We discuss rigging and tactics for each of these fly types, where to fish them and how our presentations might differ at night  from what we do in the daylight.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | Night FishingREAD: Troutbitten | The Harvey Pusher Night Fly (with VIDEO)READ: Troutbitten | Find Your Rabbit HoleREAD: Troutbitten | Night Fishing for Trout -- The Wiggle and HangREAD: Troutbitten | Drop Shot Nymphing on a Tight Line RigVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

Microsoft/FTC hearings reveal numerous details about the Xbox business The FTC's economist could not explain how the acquisition would actually harm competition The FTC bungled its questioning of Phil Spencer so badly that he had to explain how mergers work to the agency. Microsoft decided to pursue AB after it learned that Sony was paying publishers to skip Xbox and that it was trying to make Starfield exclusive to PlayStation A Bethesda executive asked Phil Spencer why AB was so different, noting that some Bethesda titles became Xbox exclusives Phil Spencer says that Microsoft "expects" Xbox to be profitable, but he never said that it ever was. Its continual third-place finishes in the console market is what kicked off Microsoft's game studio buying spree: Sony was outspending it on exclusives Phil Spencer also admitted to what I think is Xbox's biggest failure, it's lack of an "organic" strategy for mobile. Spencer: there is no native Minecraft on PS5 because Sony. (Related: if Microsoft buys AB, Sony will not give AB advanced access to PS6) Xbox Cloud Gaming was promoted as a way to get Xbox in front of 3 billion more eyeballs, but it's been used as a way for Xbox console users to test new games before they buy them. Sony's PlayStation boss came off badly during the hearings. Microsoft considered "spending Sony out of business." If this deal fails, it should do just that AB demanded a better revenue share and threatened to pull COD off Xbox otherwise. They had no choice, so AB gets an 80/20 revenue split instead of the usual 70/30. Blackmail! Microsoft considered buying over 100 separate companies to gain a foothold in mobile gaming (and overall).

Devin Olsen has been a member of Fly Fishing Team USA since 2006, winning individual bronze and team silver in the 2015 World Fly Fishing Championships in Bosnia. Once a salmon and steelhead biologist in Joseph, Oregon, Devon is a wealth of knowledge. In this episode of Anchored we discuss how he got in to competitive fly fishing, how it's structured, and how he used it to become the angler he is today. We discuss nymph specifics, lach fishing, history, temperature gradients, and more. Speaking of nymphs, we've also recently added a 12-part series featuring Skip Morris to anchored outdoors.com. Skip's latest book, Top 12 Nymphs for Trout Streams, How, When, and Where to Fish Them, focuses on fly-fishing and tying flies, guides you through 12 great nymph-flies and how to catch trout on them in creeks, streams, and rivers. Accompanying a color photograph of each fly, Skip shares about each fly—what it imitates, what it's designed to do, what it does do in the water—and then he tells you how to fish it effectively, when it fishes best, how deep in the water to fish it, and offers the different fishing methods that make it catch fish. He describes those methods plainly, so you can go right out and make them work. He even provides a section that helps you select the right fly for specific fishing conditions and choose the best method for presenting that fly to trout.  Here's the purchase link: https://www.skip-morris-fly-tying.com/top-12-nymphs-for-trout-streams-how-when-and-where-to-fish-them-2nd-edition.html Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a fun conversation for this episode, about what's more difficult — nymphs or dry flies. This is not a talk about which tactic is better. And this discussion isn't even about which one we might like more.What is more difficult? Nymphs or dries? This is a valuable exercise and an important discussion . . .Just because nymphing might usually produce more trout, doesn't mean it is easier. And how many trout we catch on each style is not the point. Try getting true, convincing dead drifts on a nymph. It is, quite simply, harder to achieve than a dry fly, because you can't see success on the invisible flies underneath, and because the complexity of currents is far more intricate in three dimensions.But many people just don't take it that far with nymphing. They think their drifts are good enough, because they caught a few fish (maybe more than they did on dries.) But excellent nymphing requires excellent effort. And a lot more trout can be caught by acknowledging that kind of difficulty. The ceiling is high. And realizing that is the value of this discussion.We Cover the FollowingThe confusing boundaries of this conversationWhy anglers are protective of what they like bestHow that holds an angler backTight line complexitiesDry fly complexitiesWhere bias comes fromA few streamer thoughts. . . and moreResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | The Nymph Angler is SustainableREAD: Troutbitten | The George Harvey Leader DesignREAD: Troutbitten | That's Not a Dead DriftPODCAST: Troutbitten | Find Your Rabbit HoleVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:Precision Fly and Tackle Use code TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order at Precision.andOrvis
