************************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.
27/03/2021, at 8.30 pm Earth Hour starts: in the dark for an hour against the climatic and biological crisis.
I agree. And you?
Driving from Calgary to Kananaskis was a big pleasure enjoying the wonderful views. Really love the road trip through the mountains, pleased by the wildlife, lakes and forest. The photo was taken on the backyards of the camping sites. The Kananaskis lake walks were great with awesome views of the lakes from the forests.
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.
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
Brush off the dirt
And let my change of heart occur...

COVID numbers are continuing to rise around the world. So many people are in lockdown and not able to get out, many have been sick and have had loved ones die, and so many, including me, who haven't been able to hug their families since the beginning of this pandemic. And we have no idea when the end is in sight, or if things will ever get back to "normal."
When I saw this little vine wrapped around a post in a nearby garden, I thought of how much all of us need a hug right about now. So I'm sending out a virtual hug to all of you.
Here's a song from one of my favourite bands, Walk of the Earth, that I think might give you a smile:
Completely crosses the Earth's shadowing a tonal lunar eclipse becoming a ''Blood Moon'' ... because of sunlight bending through Earth atmosphere hitting the moon ...
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.
Ponta de São Lourenço.
Ponta de São Lourenço is the easternmost point of the island of Madeira. It is inside the town of Caniçal and forms a part of the municipality of Machico. Its terrain are made up of rocks and herbaceous vegetation. Since 1982, the headland is a nature reserve, where it has the conservation of its endemic plants including Matthiola maderensis, Echium nervosum, and Andryala glandulosa, and it has fauna, including birds, insects, and molluscs. One of them is Monachus monachus, a seal.
Earth Song, Michael Jackson www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAi3VTSdTxU
The short film to Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song,” his best-selling single in the United Kingdom, earned Michael the Doris Day Music Award from the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards. The urgent need to address the issues facing the planet and all that inhabit it were on the forefront of Michael’s mind when he created this song and short film, issues that are even more urgent today.
If anything good will maybe come out of all of the crisis we face today, is a new found respect and appreciation for the uniquely beautiful planet we live on, and how all life on it is connected.
I hope we evolve from our aggressive, destructive, rapacious tendencies to a more loving, compassionate way of being in the world.
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things that you said
We were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are

It would have been remiss of me not to post something for Earth Day 2024. I got to thinking about which place in Earth I have visited that has a lot of natural beauty and is relatively unspoilt. A few places came to mind but one stood out - Canada. The Canadian wilderness is something special in my opinion. I just loved the snow-covered mountains as a backdrop to crystal clear rivers and fir-lined river banks, resided over by the most spectacular cloud-filled skies.
Happy Earth Day everyone !
"" 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

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!
This photo was taken with my I-Phone 6 camera years ago while looking at Google Earth on my computer. One surely realizes it is not a high quality digital photo, nevertheless, seeing the Earth in this way can be fascinating. This is a dry wash near Red Rock Canyon State Park in Cantil, California. Maybe someone would be inspired to try a shot like this with their drone.
Hello, my friends! That one shot calls again for the key words such as lavender, field, lying down, bees, awkward, etc.....all in one sentence and describing the scene. Sounds familiar? However, I just couldn't resist posting it because I came away with some of my very favorite images ever from that session :)
Have a great weekend my friends!
I started to write a grand speech on how we can and should take care of Mother Earth, but I think all of you know that already. I also think that we are all going to be hyper aware of it's beauty when we leave or den caves in a couple weeks, maybe scenes like this at Mirror Lakes will be that much more sublime. In the meantime, here's to Spring and all the wonderment it heralds.
“After the rains departed the skies and settled on earth - clear skies; moist brilliant earth - greater clarity returned to life alone with the blue above and made the world below rejoice with the freshness of the recent rain. It left heaven in our souls and a freshness in our hearts.”
― Fernando Pessoa
