Tussock moth defoliation near the Silvies Valley. Malheur National Forest, Oregon.
More about the defoliation from Mike McWilliams:
"Sometimes [the defoliation] is just in the tops, but more usually whole trees, grand fir and Douglas-fir and crossing over on to ponderosa pine! Messy feeding, more yellow than red. Whole hillsides are defoliated, and the spatial accuracy of the polys seemed good, although we also saw severe defoliation further west that it was mapped (T18S, R31E, sec 30)."

From the Gulf to the Seychelles 05.
If you have been to the Seychelles more recently this may look undeveloped with empty beaches. That is because in 1971 there was no airport, the only way you could get there was by sea. They were building an airport while we were there, and we probably saw the main island just before it changed forever.
This amazing green pot spider took up residence in our now famous "Tree of Life" here in Baldwin County Alabama. God made this spider perfect in every way, just as he made the cannabis ("hemp") plant perfect for the healing of the nations (Revelations 22:1-2)
Please visit Green Earth Ministries to learn more about the TRUTH regarding this holy plant. We can save our planet if we just take a little time to learn how to love each other instead of trying to lock people up for doing what God intended.
Stop The Drug War today and let's start focusing on how we can make the world a better place to live and prosper.
Amen!
