The difference between a path and a road is not only the obvious one. A path is little more than a habit that comes with knowledge of a place. It is a sort of ritual of familiarity. As a form, it is a form of contact with a known landscape. It is not destructive. It is the perfect adaptation, through experience and familiarity, of movement to place; it obeys the natural contours; such obstacles as it meets it goes around.
― Wendell Berry
Also known as the Eastern Gray Squirrel, native to eastern North America where it is an essential natural forester. Less arboreal than then the Red Squirrel as the grey tends to feed extensively on the ground. Its not their fault that there over here in the UK that one lie's with the worlds most destructive and most dangerous animal on the planet called the human. This is one of the first wild mammals that children can get to see regally and so sometimes help encourage them to get into nature.
Just a black vulture perched on a wood post. This one was in front of a farm. In Hershey, Pennsylvania these birds have been “destructive by nature,” and cause damage to homes and property in the neighborhood, as well as at Hersheypark’s ZooAmerica, where they were a nuisance last year.
Black vultures, which can have wingspans up to 5 feet, are protected under federal laws. It’s illegal in the U.S. to trap or kill the birds without a permit, and violators can face a fine of up to $15,000 and six months in prison.

New building, Christchurch , NZ
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.
The sculpture Tomorrow Man, made by the sea, was created by Catherine François. With the holes she wants to represent a destructive energy. The image is intended to erode under the influence of ebb and flow, wind, and rain. The bent figure, 2 m high and weighing 400 kg, braces itself against the rising water. And that is exactly what the symbolism in the sculpture shows: the struggle of humanity against nature.

All of the squirrels that hang out in or live in the yard are entertaining. Robbie, my little dare devil buddy is entertaining but also a bit destructive. He is so much more playful than all of the others and he makes up some crazy games. Things like get the bloom, treating the flowering maple like a teatherball game. That plant is supposed to have blooms all over it, year round and it did but now only has a few on the very top where the branches are too weak to support Robbie's weight. He has also broken several pawpaw branches that were about to bloom. Pawpaws are the host plant for the zebra swallowtail. In this image Robbie is gnawing on a palm tree bloom. Hopefully he will continue to entertain himself by making sure that bloom is cut through. I don't need anymore palm trees :) I simply leave the blooms as long as possible for the pollinators. Bees love the blooms and occasionally a butterfly will stop by one.
My favorite Robbie story is that he was gnawing on a piece of mulch and decided to bury it, in the mulch :) Silly squirrel.
Hopefully Robbie can serve as an inspiration to you and you will go make up a silly game to play and entertain yourself. Barring the destructive portion of course. If you do it would be interesting to know what you do, so please share :)
As in storm. Never as destructive as a Nor'easter but quite a blow. Thanks for the look and have a great evening.
" In my room, with nothing but me and my destructive mind. Its overthinking all the little details. Its not knowing why that person suddenly stopped talking. Its that corrosive feeling of worthlessness that your mind convinced you of being. Its when war wages on inside your brittle self and you know you could not hold on any longer. Its when youre all alone with no one there to save you from yourself. Its a torture that makes death seem like a friend. Beckoning you into its embrace."
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^

In antiquity a town called Thermae (Greek: Θερμαί, hot springs) existed on the site. In 1847, an announcement in Italy asserting the therapeutic benefits of bathing in the natural thermal spas found in Loutraki caused an influx of settlers in the surrounding areas, thereby creating modern Loutraki. In 1928 Loutraki was completely destroyed by earthquake and rebuilt. A large park was created by reclaiming sea area using the rubble of the fallen houses. Another strong earthquake hit the area in 1981 with less destructive effects.

The ancient Greeks admired and honored Acheloos as a god, for his size, quantity of water and fertilizing power, but at the same time they respected and praised him, because his rapid flow could become destructive, when it was flooding.

∎ "'Climate crisis' or 'Earth overheating' are more precise terms. They make the cause and urgency of the problem clearer. In other policy areas we are quick to use the term 'crisis' - euro crisis or refugee crisis - but avoid it when we talk about the fundamental distortions of our planetary system. That says a lot about the political importance of the various policy areas.”

The journalist Journalist Ross Gelbspan pointed out the sufficient scientific knowledge as early as 1997 and emphasized:
∎“The climate crisis is no longer about scientific questions. The fact that the future rate of increase in warming has not yet been determined - or the effects in different regions - is politically and socially immaterial. Science has long since told us what we need to act.

8-Sep Northern Utah experienced a destructive wind storm with gusts reaching 99 mph (159 km/h). 200,000 homes/businesses without power (I am one of those).
I prefer not to photograph destruction or bad things and instead try to find beauty in all. So naturally, I headed out to the Great Salt Lake!
Photographing out in the open was a real challenge; my tripod would not stay, so I shot handheld. The salt spray was everywhere, and I was coated in salt.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the photo.
No need to comment – Just enjoy :-)

The Preacher reflects on the value of contentment. It is better to have less and be content (with quietness) than to have more and constantly be grasping for further success.
i. Solomon weaved some fascinating themes together.
· Hard work and success are good and not to be envied.
· Laziness is wrong and destructive.
· Yet even the one with full hands must learn contentment.
This is actually the first nymph form of this bug that I've seen in the area. It's an invasive and highly destructive species.
My research suggests that this Eastern Red Cedar is decorated by an Oriental Bittersweet vine.. The vine is an invasive, and can be destructive, but here, so far, it is but an appealing decoration holding its greens on a somber November afternoon.

We have not seen this much snow since the pandemic began. It came yesterday. Not long after this photo was taken, one of big tree branches collapsed. Snow was pretty, but can also be destructive. It caused us out of power for 20 hours in a fridge temperature.

The beach north of Coquille Point in Bandon is filled with driftwood that has floated down the Coquille River. It's hard to imagine the destructive power of wind and water behind this log littered beach.

Little Orphan Raccoons there mother was bringing them up here to mooch some food, she started when she was expecting, foraging hard for something to eat, when she had the babies she brought them up to eat. One day they came by themselves, then the next day, they were starving, they had not learned to find food yet. I started to feed them, the dark one was very aggressive, the other two not so much. They got bigger and did survive, they learned to hunt. The dark one still comes by occasionally, I recognized him because of color, the other two probably are out there. They got a bit destructive for a bit, then calmed down.
More properly known as Coypu (Myocastor coypus), a destructive invasive in Texas, previously over-running the Riverstone Wetlands in Sugar Land. Then a alligator came into the wetlands, maybe from the nearby Steep Bank Creek, and the nutria were gone. Now the alligator's gone, possibly removed from these family-friendly wetlands, and the nutria are back. Nutria eat tree roots and grass stems as seen here. BTW, the red incisors are typical of rodents.

And I can change the atmosphere,
All I ask from you is patience
