Under the pines, near the murmuring brook,
I know the wild orchids grow,
Fair and pure in their shady nook,
A page in God's own wonderful book
With a message for me to know.
So breathtakingly beautiful so adorned ,
Captured upon a stem scent shared adored .

Saving flora and fauna is essential for maintaining a healthy and balanced ecosystem. Here are some ways we can contribute to this cause:
Protect natural habitats: Natural habitats such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands are crucial for the survival of many species. We need to protect these habitats by preventing deforestation, preserving wetlands, and restoring degraded lands.
Reduce pollution: Pollution is a significant threat to flora and fauna. We can reduce pollution by using eco-friendly products, reducing the use of plastic, and properly disposing of waste.
Conserve water: Water is essential for the survival of plants and animals. We can conserve water by fixing leaky faucets, using water-efficient appliances, and reducing water usage.
Support sustainable agriculture: Agriculture practices such as monoculture and excessive use of pesticides can harm the environment. We can support sustainable agriculture by buying locally grown produce and supporting farmers who use sustainable practices.
Reduce carbon footprint: Climate change is a significant threat to flora and fauna. We can reduce our carbon footprint by using public transport, walking or cycling instead of driving, and reducing energy consumption at home.
Educate others: Educating others about the importance of flora and fauna conservation is crucial. We can raise awareness by sharing information on social media, volunteering at conservation organizations, and supporting conservation initiatives.

Zealandia's electric boat 'Ara Kawau' (translates to path of the shag), Wellington, New Zealand. This Duffy electric boat was manufactured by the company of the same name in the middle of the Mojave Desert, California. Originally used as a water taxi for the Auckland, New Zealand America's Cup challenge of 2003 where Zealandia took over ownership in 2005.
Well I am most thrilled to say it’s another first for these pages and boy what a scoop it is!!
What you are looking at there folks is a genuine Sky Harvester, or an Awyr Cynaeafwr as they are called here in greenest Wales. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Wales, this small and sparsley populated land, is not just a world leader in this kind of green technology, but decades ahead of the rest of the field.
The drivers of these high-tech gizmos are locally known as ‘Mad Maxers’ and this one here, he’s about to turn left and head towards those clouds you see there. When he gets directly below, he will extend those telescopic side arms upwards and they will in effect, snag the cloud which is then dragged back down to earth and then towed off to a Cwmwl Ysguboe for storage. These Cwmwl Ysgubors or ‘Cloud Barns” are, as you can imagine, enormous great affairs, but as you would expect from the creators of such advanced tech, great care has been taken to blend them into the countryside by making them look like hills. They can be seen throughout my landscape photos and I could easily point them out, but unless you have a keen trained eye - one like mine, you would mistakenly think you are just looking at an ordinary hill. Sigh. I know, I know ….frustrating right…. What can I say……apart from this is why Wales is so hilly - cloud barns.
In times of severe drought, the cloud barn is opened up and a cloud towed out to the brown and parched field. It is then caused to dissolve in effect through vibrational frequency undulation - but not another hi-tech gizmo, oh no, the method employed here is traditional and hands on. The entire inclusive green community will turn out men, women, children, babes in arms, grandmas and grandpas, and they will sing as one, as only a Welsh choir can sing and as they do they march bravely into the cloud voices undulating as they sing the song “the green green grass of home” which was famously introduced into the world psyche by the Welsh fertility god, boombox, Vegas blue rinse babe magnet, and some might say pop-singing Priapus incarnate, the icon and indisputable true King of all Wales by both birth and deed, the living legend that is - (put your hands together and have your underwear at hand) - Mr ….. Sir …..Tom …… Jones! And, as the inclusive eco friendly community choir close the song down, the cloud in effect melts and hey presto! We have rain, and of course, a very wet inclusive choir and re-greened agricultural field.
And that is why, generally speaking, Welsh people are such unbelievably fabulous singers with voices like angels, because from the earliest age, they have learned to sing in the clouds……
An interesting house in Ibstone, looks like it was built of wood, or were the tree trunks attached to the brickwork. Either Way it is eco friendly as the black will absorb heat, keeping heating bills in the winter low, bur then will it also be unbearably hot in the summer?
Norfolk Southern SD33ECOs 6218 and 6211 and RPU6D slug 895 run to the south end of Brosnan Yard for their next assignment.
The SD33ECOs are former SD40s, 6211 being of former N&W heritage and the 6218 being of PRR/PC/CR heritage. RPU6D slug 895 is former NS highhood SD40-2 1633.
Day 3/365
Macro Monday - Cotton
These are face scrubbies that I crocheted. They are an eco friendly alternative to cotton pads for makeup removal. We are doing our best to avoid anything single use. HMM
365 weekly theme - Introduction:
I am a maker of various things. Mostly handmade greetings cards so expect to see some of those in my 365. I used to teach card making and scrapbooking to adults but now it's just a hobby.
I finally succumbed to joining the 365 today (my fourth). I managed a photo each day for three days and have set up a flat lay for tomorrow...piece of cake huh? ;)
Reasons for joining:
1. Eric www.flickr.com/photos/54515311@N00/ said I was crazy enough to do it.
2. On New Year's Day my osteopath posted on Instagram "Do something that scares you" Well, committing to a 365 is pretty scary!
3. I am hoping it will help with the return of my mojo
4. At least it's not a 366
5. I just want to do it

This Ferruginous Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium brasilianum phalaenoides) is one of a pair that has been roosting in a bamboo patch a short distance from my house. Unfortunately there was a bush fire close to their patch and since then they seemed to have taken up residence elsewhere.
A tranquil forest scene with lush greenery, sunlight filtering through the trees, and a serene pond reflecting the natural beauty.
Saxåns Nature Reserve
Located in Skåne, Sweden of the Landskrona Municipality, the nationally designated areas inventory, also known as CDDA, began in 1995 under the CORINE programme of the European Commission.
It is now one of the agreed annual Eionet priority data flows maintained by the European Environment Agency.

These never-still birds normally have grass covering parts of their bodies. This day, for one second he was in the right position and I was at the right angle with no grasses in my view.
My wish for everyone,is the peacefulness
that a still night on the water can bring you.
Have a Great Evening...
I'd seen some workmen doing something near home, so this afternoon, as it's been lovely and sunny, I went to investigate.
Recycling at a new lever, kitchen waste, food waste and other things. I did take photos of the signs, but I'll go back and retake them. Then make a collage to show it all off.
Maybe view large, and thank you for your favourites. :)
I’ve been wanting some of these notebooks for a while. These are extra special since they’re made in the USA using eco-friendly materials and methods. They have pretty awesome designs, as well. Those things combined with the delight I find in a fresh notebook made these irresistible!

The Woolwich Ferry chugs along the Thames with a cheerful hum, showcasing the new hybrid ship, the Dame Vera Lynn, on its southern side route. This eco-friendly beauty, with its sleek blue and white design, is a nod to London’s commitment to greener waters. As it glides past, you can almost hear the faint echo of wartime melodies, a playful tribute to the legendary singer it’s named after, bringing a bit of nostalgia to the modern skyline!
In the background, London’s skyscrapers pierce the cloudy sky, a stunning contrast to the sturdy ferry terminal. The Dame Vera Lynn seems to wink at the towering giants, as if to say, “I may be hybrid, but I’ve got soul!” Passengers onboard might just break into a spontaneous sing-along, imagining Vera’s voice carrying over the waves, while the city’s hustle-bustle adds a lively backdrop to this charming maritime scene.
With the new hybrid tech, this ferry is not just a ride but a gentle revolution on the river. The Dame Vera Lynn promises a smoother, quieter journey, letting you enjoy the view of London’s evolving skyline without the usual engine roar. It’s a delightful blend of history, innovation, and a touch of British whimsy—perfect for a scenic trip across the Thames!
This is one of my favorite hats, and one of my signature "rockstar" items. Only very special pieces get my "rockstar" designation. These are items that I imagine would be worn by the lavish hedonistic rockstars of the romantic steam powered era, if there had ever been such a thing. So, if you've packed your steam-powered guitar and are heading out on a time-traveling trip, this is the cap to pack!
It just oozes charisma and neo-victorian rockstar elegance. Made from eco-friendly cotton canvas, this newsboy style hat is a dark olive green, and fully lined with black cotton. The hat is fitted with a super-comfortable elastic band on the inside brim, so the hat fits a wide range of adult heads. Made with ultra-durable construction, and a high quality brim.
This stunning hat is adorned with three striped natural brown cruelty-free pinion feathers. The feathers are accented at the base with a dark tea-colored braided rope applique and an antique star pendant. The decorated portion of the brim is made from a subtly fantastic diamond print ribbon in olive green and antique gold colors, with a slight metallic sheen. This ribbon is framed on the top and bottom with braided antique gold wire ribbon. The texture effect is really cool and gives the hat and added level of super-fantastic-awesomeness.
I am currently working on a line of steampunk style decorated newsboy hats. If you are interested in a custom creation of your very own, let's talk! I would love to hear your ideas!

Finally saw one of the Post Office's eco friendly scooters parked and right outside our apartment the other day. Have wanted to take a photo of one for ages.
Much better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

Coral reefs are unique, biologically rich, and complex ecosystems, providing food and shelter to a quarter of all marine species, and they support fish stocks that feed more than one billion people. Global Warming takes a tool on coral reefs. They are dying of warmer water and thereby all ocean ecosystem could be dramatically changed.
