Probably the best way to describe earth today. It was overwhelming to see so many posts on #Earthday, promising all good things, but often such promises get lost in the face of everyday humdrum. People ask ‘What difference can I make when the mighty cogs of policy and politics are still focussed towards drilling for fossil fuels?’
But we all CAN make a difference. If we know about the impact we have on our species and ecosystems, we CAN offset a whole lot through our lifestyle choices. The choices we make MATTER; to the animals, plants, people and our planet. Here are 5 suggestions
1. Eat less meat. It means less land for animal husbandry which equates to more forests! Did you know that 1 cheeseburger costs 66 gallons of water to produce? ONE burger.
2. Reuse. #Recycle. All. The. time. Don’t use plastic unless you ABSOLUTELY have to.
3. Say NO to products DIRECTLY responsible for decimating our rainforests. Palm oil is a good example. Often disguised as vegetable oil or any of its 20 other names, WWF advises consumers to look for the RSPO label or the Green Palm Label to ensure the product is sustainably sourced 🌴
4. Say NO to products with a large carbon footprint –just check the label about the product’s origin. Do you really need tomatoes from Brazil every day?
5. Say NO to all #wildlife products – no to shark fin soup, no to whale meat, no to ivory trinkets, no to tiger bone wine and no to bear bile
It’s unreasonable for us to give up all ways of modernity & make drastic changes overnight. But, smaller changes can reap benefits if done conscientiously & consistently. We all need to pick the things we will do from now on and stick to them. It’s also time to have these conversations with friends & family, even if they become prickly. #letsdothis
FYI - this is #jokulsarlon in #Iceland, where you can see massive icebergs breaking away from the Vatnajokull glacier and melting into the Atlantic. A microcosm for our warming world. Beautiful & haunting

You may never be as talented as you wish you were, but it is always worth trying to reveal your inner potential and energy since nothing makes you more alive then your devotion to the process of creation.

Surprisingly, this little bunch survived the baby. She knows the little white things come out easily. She picked tons of them yesterday and would pick them out with her fingers.

travel diary entry from this day (german only, sorry)
"Die Überfahrt von Qeqertarsuaq dauert zwar 4.5 Stunden, ist aber ansonsten wie für die Disko Bucht üblich sehr geruhsam - die vielen Eiswürfel und die fast durchgängige Landabdeckung verhindern allzu aggressiven Seegang. In schöner Regelmässigkeit verteilen sich grosse und kleine Eisberge über das graue Meer, deren Formen sich zwar ähneln aber niemals gleichen. Gegen den Horizont schiebt sich die Masse an Eisbergen zu einer weissen Mauer zusammen, die sich noch dazu durch eine Luftspiegelung verdoppelt. Scheinbar kein Durchkommen, doch bei Annäherung verschiebt sich die Mauer immer weiter nach hinten und bleibt fest am Horizont."

Macro photography opens a whole new world. When I captured this one, I thought about how fragile our nature is. And how even the tiniest of detail is amazing. This little dandelion seed was taken by the wind and was suddenly stuck on this straw. I went up close with my lens. Really carefully so the seed would not fly away.
Sibling of the other chick in my photostream. Wanted to try a deliberate soft focus on the chick to emphasise the fragility of it. Not sure that comes across, so I would be very grateful for any feedback at all.
Thank you

Such a scene appears only in that brief, suspended threshold of the year—when the land first gathers its winter covering, yet the lakes, free of ice, hold their dark and yielding depths. The shoreline lies wrapped in untouched snow, set against the somber blue of water still unhardened by cold. Here, it is as though the sky has spread its muted colors upon the earth, joining snow and lake in a silent, vivid exchange. The flawless snow and the water’s unbroken calm echo one another in a poised reverie, a final, fragile alignment before the deepening freeze binds all in winter’s slow, unyielding stillness.

Morning dew has produced tiny water orbs on grass tips. This happens almost everyday, but most of the time we don't notice.

You want someone to press your fragile bones,
in between the pages of their favourite novel,
I know.
You want to be a wilting flower,
glued to the sheets of an artist’s notebook,
I understand.
You want to be an exhibit of death behind a
pane of frosted glass.
I wish I could kiss your eyelids,
like the moon kisses it’s stars.
What you want is a museum,
But all I want is your breath.
maybe I'll keep this...I am the most indesicive person ever....and probably also the most insecure
