Hummingbirds love nectar from flowers, but will come to the feeders as long as the sugar water is clean and fresh.
These RAW photos were taken while lying on my back, looking up with my camera, under the hummingbird feeder hanging from the corner of the screened-in porch. I only cropped them.

The artwork features two people representing the alternatives for sustainable fashion. The woman holds a boat shuttle for handmade loom weaving and there is mending visible on the man's denim jacket. He is smelling marigolds which is a natural dye. Both figures are standing in front of mounds of clothes reminding us to support slow fashion and reduce the amount of textiles going into landfills and reduce fashion waste.

The word sustainability can be heard every day, on too many occasions. The idea of green bicycles might no be so bad. I can see the wink.

Juxtaposition places two or more things side by side to elicit a response within the audience's mind.

The Sustainability Consortium, where I am Chief Scientist, is ten years old! We created and are stewards of the Walmart Sustainability Index, and we engage in projects with retailers and brands to make consumer products and their supply chains more sustainable. Here are some of my colleagues in a strategic planning exercise in ASU's Skysong building in Scottsdale.
While in Yellowstone NP, we encountered several bighorn sheep ram along the hillside grazing on the grasses sticking up through the snowy landscape. The light was so very beautiful and enabled us to capture that eye, which I always find so intriguing.
This ram had some pretty beat up horns too. Made me wonder how curled they would have been if they weren't so worn down. Of course, I also thought about what stories those curls could tell about the life of this beautiful bighorn sheep.
But getting back to that eye ... there are few animals that possess such a mesmerizing eye as the BHS, at least to me. Eye contact is generally locked and sustained. Such a thrill. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.

Upper East Side, Central Park - Jun 2008 - 085
These pictures were taken on two successive days when I had doctor appointments on the Upper East Side of NYC, and had the chance to walk along Fifth Avenue, and then through Central Park in order to return to my apartment on the Upper West Side, at Broadway & 96th
I had spotted this woman jogging in Central Park a little earlier -- how could you not notice someone in a bright pink top and pink hat? She had been running south, while I was walking north, and she went by too quickly for me to get a picture.
But about ten minutes later, as I was approaching Columbus Avenue and 96th Street, she jogged past me again ... she had to stop at Columbus Avenue, because of the traffic, so she was actually jogging in place when I took this picture...
Note: on Sep 26, 2012, I replaced the original version of this photo with a slightly edited one. All I did was some relatively minor adjusting of "hot spots" and "cold spots" -- but unfortunately, I was unable to remove all the monochromatic blackness in the woman's tights Unfortunately, the original photo was shot as a JPG image, before I learned about the benefits of shooting in RAW and making more subtle adjustments with my Aperture photo-editing program...

On the Bord na Mona peat railways, Boora/Blackwater system. It's the end of the line for Derrinough Briquette Factory which closes at the end of the month.
A train of peat heading for the factory passes the wind turbines which now provide a more sustainable energy source from the bogs.
Todays Our Daily Challenge: In The Future.
I had lots of different ideas for this challenge but nothing grabbed me. I finally decided to go with this idea and after I took this shot, was happy I went with it.
Trees are like the lungs of the earth, taking in the carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen via photosynthesis. One of the keys to reducing green houses gases is via the use of trees. Forestry is considered to be one of the most sustainable and renewable resources on the planet. In fact, you could say the future depends on them. In the future, thanks to much knowledge that has been gained over the years, perhaps we can hope that there will be more attention paid to how trees are used and how trees like this, in particular, that are many many years old, are a very valuable resource indeed.
Sustainability and neo-ecology are the megatrends of our time. The topic of sustainability will be addressed in a target-group-oriented way via modular approaches consisting of keynotes, empathetic inspirations and hands-on workshop sessions, and will lead to prototypical developments of new solution strategies in the participants’ own contexts. The workshop offers a complete package based on the artistic and technological approach of Ars Electronica and the technical, economic and systemic know-how of the Institute for Clean Technology.
