************************Earth Day 2016.
Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network,[1] and celebrated in more than 193 countries each year.[2]
If you've ever seen the dirt flying when a Badger is digging a den or after some underground prey, now you know what they use to get the job done.

It's Earth Day today April 22nd 2023 and I thought I'd upload something to mark this day, and what could be more appropriate than Asha on the beach with her earth beach ball. Earth Day is an annual event that aims to inspire awareness of and appreciation for our environment. There are two different observances of Earth Day, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the vernal (March) equinox; while a global observance in many countries is held each year on 22 April.
Facts about Earth
Age: 4.6 billion years old (Life as we know it, has only existed on the planet for the last 150 million to 200 million years)
Position: 3rd planet from the sun.
Size: 5th largest planet in our solar system.
Diameter: The Earth has an average diameter of 12,742 kilometers. (7,926 miles)
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to have water in its three states of matter: as a solid (ice), a liquid (sea, rain, etc.) and as a gas (clouds).
The length of time it takes for Earth to orbit the Sun is 365 and a quarter days. To make up this extra quarter which isn't counted at the end of a year, we have an extra day every four years on 29th February.
Earth travels through space at 66,700 miles per hour.
Happy Earth Day!
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."
John Muir
"Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money."
-- Cree Indian Proverb
I remember the first one well in 1970, my senior year. They let us out of school that afternoon and we picked up litter around town. Then we had a celebration for old Gaia. Great fun.
Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.
I admire, support and greatly appreciate the portions of our precious planet that we have protected for future generations to enjoy, like this view of Mt. Rainier capturing the first light on another glorious day.
Thanks for the taking a look, and protecting and celebrating our home.

Il nostro meraviglioso pianeta potrebbe tranquillamente fare a meno di noi.
Siamo noi che non possiamo fare a meno di lui.
On our Earth there are many unique places, all of which should be preserved, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is unquestionably one of them.
This is a view from Artist Point. It has been photographed a bizzilion times. I was trying to avoid "instagram" shots on this trip, but I couldn't help myself - the location is just so impressive and special. Fortunately, I had some clouds in the sky so the canyon was relatively evenly lit. That allowed the colors to really pop. There simply is no other name for this marvel of earthly creation.
Tiny Pants says, share the earth, cherish the earth and all living things. Earth Day is Everyday.
Founded in 1970 by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, from Wisconsin, Earth Day is now celebrated worldwide. Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the first Earth Day. In these terrible times we need to reflect on our lives and our impact on our beloved planet.
Stay safe, Be kind <3
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, it is greatly appreciated.
Lope de Vega
Al hombro el cielo, aunque su sol sin lumbre
de Lope de Vega
Al hombro el cielo, aunque su sol sin lumbre,
y en eclipse mortal las más hermosas
estrellas, nieve ya las puras rosas,
y el cielo tierra, en desigual costumbre.
Tierra, forzosamente pesadumbre,
y así, no Atlante, a las heladas losas
que esperan ya sus prendas lastimosas,
Sísifo sois, por otra incierta cumbre.
Suplícoos me digáis, si Amor se atreve
¿cuándo pesó con más pesar, Fernando,
o siendo fuego, o convertida en nieve?
Mas el fuego no pesa, que exhalando
la materia a su centro, es carga leve;
la nieve es agua, y pesará llorando.
Snow
Lope de Vega
On the shoulder the sky, although its sun without light
by Lope de Vega
On the shoulder the sky, although its sun without light,
and in mortal eclipse the most beautiful
stars, snow and pure roses,
and heaven earth, in unequal custom.
Earth, necessarily grief,
and so, not Atlantean, to the frozen slabs
already waiting for their pitiful garments,
Sisyphus you are, for another uncertain summit.
Please tell me, if Love dares
When did you weigh more heavily, Fernando,
or being fire, or turned into snow?
But the fire does not weigh, than exhaling
matter at its center is light load;
snow is water, and will weigh crying.

This is for my mother, who dedicated her entire existance to bringing new life into the world, including my own.
A very big thank you to Shakua, Aranck and Armon for being by my side.

to fling myself down in some sloping meadow and feel the sunshine envelop me and the warm winds pass over me, to see them tossing the grasses and tugging at the trees and driving the white clouds across the blue, and to feel the great earth revolving under me — for if you lie long enough you can really get the sense of sailing through space :-)

Before we had to fence our backyard in order to adopt our dog, Emmy, I had a love/hate relationship with deer. The deer in our neighborhood viewed our backyard as a haven with the added benefit of gourmet dining.
It was lovely to look out my window and see one peacefully sleeping in my garden. However, I didn't like how they destroyed my garden - aargh! Anyway, the fence solved the whole issue, but at times I still miss seeing them.

Sunset at Mesquite Flats in February. There are folks spread out all over the dunes to watch the show, including one couple getting married off to the right.
"" The Middle-Earth is not ... One of my invention. Is a modernization or alteration ... of an ancient Word That meant the inhabited world From Men, oikoumene :. Because middle you thought vaguely that it was placed in the middle of the seas that surrounded it, and (in the imagination Nordic) Among the icy north and the Southern fires. "
J.R.R. Tolkien
Also cold days here in Italy.
Here to me little snow, but the mountains around have substantial white dusting.
The "middle-earth" has its destiny:))
Incredibly in our Alps there is no snow and ski resorts must be adapted to plan housewives snows.
While in our South, usually with mild winters, it has been flooded with so much snow to block roads, railways and planes

“The poetry of the earth is never dead.” -John Keats
I’ve learned to cherish wilderness, which wasn’t always the case. Growing up around it made me take it for granted. Now, I realize how much a life outdoors is a life well lived. I always feel better after getting a dose of nature.
The last day of summer was a perfect, mild day in the low 70’s. Autumn announced itself with gusto, dropping the temps to the 50’s the next day. Quite the entrance!
