yes that singular turd amongst it’s flower children is still a great shot and a wonderful addition to a daily calendar along with the quote

Turd sounds so ugly though. I dont think it captures the respect that people have for this grassland fertilising, wall mortering , floor sealing, fire fueling resource . Eskimos have 2 billion words for snow and ice. i wonder if Tibetans are like this with the language of manure?

I don’t think turd is an ugly word myself, I would not mind even it was added to my name ‘ turd face ‘ I could live with…the meaning is in the eye of the beholder…turd is more like cow pat in my mind than other words I could have thought of

turd has a rustic sound to it, an earthy sound ..it rings true as a word rather than say even ‘manure’ …..manure is a bit uppity
