Solitude and Hope: Y'all Come Visit!

BRAINFOOD FOR CURIOUS MINDS...


Solitude and Hope is a constantly updated resource for links to important news and entertainment events, as well as to displays of important photographic works. Some of the links will be to my companion website, Et Cetera: Publick and Privat Curiosities, which has rapidly gained a large audience in the blogger world.

Et Cetera presents thoughtful discussions of emerging news events, political commentary, discussions of the need to protect our basic human rights and promote greater acceptance of diversity. An eclectic site, it also presents humorous postings, as wells as important photographic slideshows and links to unique multi-media presentations.
