Fragments from Floyd (Lifestyles & Culture)


REVIEWED BY: Ann Currie

MY RECOMMENDATION: Yes, with reservations

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: Fragments from Floyd

WEB ADDRESS: http://www.fragmentsfromfloyd.com/

BLOG DESCRIPTION: Photoblog of Fred First, essayist-author, naturalist-teacher and photographer, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia. The focus of Fred's verbal lens is wide-angle macro--a hyperlocal look at characters, events and issues with a much wider reach and significance. The tone is one of wry reverence for nature, life and the human condition.

MY REVIEW: The good news is that this blog is updated daily – the bad news is that it has a lot of links to podcasts and other articles, which of course can't be seen on the Kindle. I won't call it 'unsuitable' though, because there is a lot of other material there.

Personally, I really like this blog. The photos are wonderful and the writing is enjoyable. The writer covers a great deal of material, some prose, some political, you never what the day will bring. However, due to his use of podcasts and video links, as well as the quality of his art work, this blog loses so much on the Kindle. I do recommend you check it out on the Internet.
