[Reposting for those who didn't see this one.]
This is the first of four images that I am posting here. The black and white photos below were posted before many of you were contacts, and I think you might enjoy seeing them. :o) They are all garden themes....ie. the BEAUTY OF NATURE'S PATTERNS AND LIGHT. This is a magical world and we could live in this indescribably beautiful paradise forever...if we cherish and protect it. Here are some websites that are full of positive ideas regarding sustainable ecology and renewable energy. www.apolloalliance.org ..... www.greenbiz.com ..... www.renewableenergyaccess.com ......

The Radiated Tortoise (Geochelone radiata) is one of the most protected species of tortoise in the world. Within the reptile world, it is something of a poster child for environmental conservation. In the U.S., this means that--in order to keep them legally--one must obtain a USFWS captive bred wildlife permit, and many states require their own licenses atop this U.S. one!
The protection is helping. Today, it is likely that over 3,000 of these tortoises are living and breeding in the U.S., while civilization continues to encroach on their homelands in Madagascar.
The captively-cared for juvenile photographed here is approximately four years old and could have well more than 100 years to go!
Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
Kakadu National Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia, 171 km southeast of Darwin.
The park is located within the Alligator Rivers Region of the Northern Territory. It covers an area of 19,804 km2 (7,646 sq mi), extending nearly 200 kilometres from north to south and over 100 kilometres from east to west. It is the size of Slovenia, about one-third the size of Tasmania, or nearly half the size of Switzerland.
The Ranger Uranium Mine, one of the most productive uranium mines in the world, is surrounded by the park.
The name Kakadu may come from the mispronunciation of Gaagudju, which is the name of an Aboriginal language spoken in the northern part of the park. This name may derive from the Indonesian word kakatuwah, (via Dutch kaketoe and German Kakadu) subsequently Anglicised as "cockatoo”. Kakadu is ecologically and biologically diverse. The main natural features protected within the National Park include:
•four major river systems: the East Alligator River, the West Alligator River, the Wildman River; and the entire South Alligator River;
•six major landforms, estuaries and tidal flats, floodplains, lowlands, the stone country, the outliers; and
the southern hills and basins;
•a remarkable variety and concentration of wildlife; over 280 bird species, roughly 60 mammal species, over 50 freshwater species, over 10,000 insect species, over 1,600 plant species and some 117 species of reptiles
Aboriginal people have occupied the Kakadu area continuously for at least 40,000 years. Kakadu National Park is renowned for the richness of its Aboriginal cultural sites. There are more than 5,000 recorded art sites illustrating Aboriginal culture over thousands of years. The archaeological sites demonstrate Aboriginal occupation for at least 20,000 and possibly up to 60,000 years.
The cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognised internationally when the park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognised as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu was listed in three stages: stage 1 in 1981, stage 2 in 1987, and the entire park in 1992.
Approximately half of the land in Kakadu is Aboriginal land under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, and most of the remaining land is currently under claim by Aboriginal people. The areas of the park that are owned by Aboriginal people are leased by the traditional owners to the Director of National Parks to be managed as a national park. The remaining area is Commonwealth land vested under the Director of National Parks. All of Kakadu is declared a national park under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The Aboriginal traditional owners of the park are descendants of various clan groups from the Kakadu area and have longstanding affiliations with this country. Their lifestyle has changed in recent years, but their traditional customs and beliefs remain very important. About 500 Aboriginal people live in the park, many of them are traditional owners. All of Kakadu is jointly managed by Aboriginal traditional owners and the Australian Government's Department of the Environment and Water Resources through a division known as Parks Australia. Park Management is directed by the Kakadu Board of Management.

The last couple of days I've been coming across more and more Livejournal Communities that are using our photography for their Icon Communities to use them as stock icons. Lots of my own pictures were stolen and used on there and I've seen many of my contact's pictures on there as well. I just want to post this and warn everyone, because I think that's just not right. No one asked me if they can use my photos for that and they don't even give credit to the photographers. They just want credit given to THEM for making the icon. It makes me so mad! Hence why I'm protecting my stream from now on. Everything is set to Friends & Family only. this is a Protect Flickr community on Livejournal if you are interested {thank you, Katrina ♥}
Icon communities on Livejournal (I think you must be a member of some of them in order to see the entries.)
^I'll keep adding more to this list. It's so upsetting. :( I wish there was something we could do!

BLM-managed wild horses at a watering hole surrounding and protecting a colt in South Steens Mountain, Eastern Oregon. The colts mother is the light palomino to his right. Protecting the young is a priority for all of God's creatures. I really liked this image and very happy it came together as I was watching the band's behavior in the water. All rights reserved. Best viewed large.

In such a dark world it is up to us to shine the light. In order to do that we must protect the flame inside us that reminds us to love, hope, and have faith.
