I liked the simple, tranquil design with soft gray colors right away. A row of soothing photos along the top added color. I was immediately curious about Bhikku. Is this the author’s name? The blog had been updated on July 17 with a series of what I think are electron-microscopy photos of pollen grains. Each is unique and beautiful.
I can’t find an about page, so Bhikku remains a mystery. The archive page shows an image of a modern painting. A clue about Bhikku: he or she is an art lover. Bhikku posts images of art or photography regularly. I think art lovers would like this site. Buddhists also, and those interested in Buddhism; the site contains virtual prayer wheels for your computer desktop that are worth exploring.
Bhikku.net is full of thoughtful, impressionistic writing and quotations that are quite beautiful. Recent posts include descriptions of a trip to New York City from the UK, literary quotations, and lots of art images accompanied by poetic but mysterious text. This site is a labor of love, and the author is a talented writer with a penetrating eye for beauty. The design is consistently simple and lovely, and all the links work.
I found this site impressive and felt not-quite-qualified to judge its contents in depth. I need to spend more time with it and maybe then I can slowly get to know Bhikku. Without being able to say a lot about the site, I’ll just say visit it if this description intrigues you, and you won’t be sorry. For uniqueness, beauty, and quality, I rate the site a 5.

I wasn't quite sure how to go about interpreting this site since it's not as straightforward as most blogs are, though I did find myself enjoy reading it.
The blog was interesting to read. The author takes snippets from different written sources ranging from the Bible, to unknown writers to more familiar writers such as Steinbeck and William Blake. You'll also find historical references here which were neat to read since it's not something you tend to read in blogs. Once in a while you'll find pictures which usually refer to text, like a picture that fits a poem and so on. The site seems to be gear towards those who are well read and educated.
The layout itself is pretty simple, nothing fancy. The font could be a little bigger though. The graphics when begin to search through the archives change at the top which for some reason threw me off about where I was on the site. It might help if there was a link to the main page.
Over all, it's a pretty good site and a nice read.
