Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

To promote forest health and reduce hazardous buildups of brush, branches, and needles that could result in a catastrophic wildfire, the Airport Road South Prescribed Fire was conducted on May 11, 2016, by the BLM Carson City District-Sierra Front Field Office. This photo shows low fire consuming needles, brush, and branches, making more room for the Jeffrey pines to grow and reducing the chances of wildfire.
Every time my flash went off, this fellow tipped his body to one side and directed his abdomen towards me and flashed back...one of those awesome moments in nature. The return flash is overwhelmed by the electronic flash, but one can see the response emanating from what appears to be a structure, clearly visible in all images, in the third segment in from the end of the abdomen.
Fireflies seem to have emerged a month late in this year of the COVID plague...
Caught in the act of bill scrubbing, lots of birds do it, believe its a sign of dominance but not sure perhaps someone with knowledge will expound on this.
As many as seven Large Carpenter Bees (Xylocopa virginica) were attracted to this one spot at the edge of a beaver pond. The gray mass that appears to be their target is a goose dropping and the white material covering the leaves is also bird caused. However, the whole pond shore was cover with droppings and this was the only one being targeted. What is going on? I do not have a clue. Also note the smaller bee that also seems either interested in the same spot or in the larger bees. Fort Frederick State Park, Maryland.

Bad Behavior from Preston describe themselves as a six piece “balls to the wall” glam rock extravaganza and that pretty much sums this band up in a nutshell. The last competitive band of the competition and good lord, what a way to finish! Looking every part the Glam Rockers resplendent in their colourful outfits and make up, but it was really the front man, Phil Bailey, who not only took centre stage but looked the most avant garde a he did his level best to be the consummate front man. With three guitars on stage, the vocals were sometimes overwhelmed especially during 'Born To Party' but it was still a good performance overall. The bands cover was Alice Coopers' 'Man Behind the Mask', and although not one of the famous Cooper songs, it was nevertheless a good cover by the band. Bailey is predictably theatrical here which ties in very well with the bands image and although this is a proper band with serious musicians, there's nothing in the book saying that you can’t do it without planting your tongue firmly in your cheek! Their final number 'Apocalypse Now' was the best of the set with its great guitar riff that has the place jumping on and off stage. As the song reached its climax Bailey announced "This is the end!" and as the curtain falls on their performance, the band are greeted with generous applause as they take their final bows. What a great way to end the competition!

This digital art was generated from a color photo of a man. All my digital art is generated from "normal" photos of real guys. Usually it is a guy I consider sexy but sometimes not. Sometimes the original photo would be considered "X." But you can't tell that, now can you? I consider most of my digital art to be "shoegaze."
Something that the pickers and/or model collectors would relish,these old kits and models were found in an upstairs closet.
While of a quest for avian wildlife I'm not immune to the tender offerings of my own species. I found the feet of this sleeping baby to be very expressive.

This is our operant chamber. We begin with magazine training in which our students take data on whether the fish approaches and eats the food when a light is turned on. Magazine training refers to the training of the conditioned reinforcer (the red light) and the primary reinforcer (food delivery).
While I was waiting for my friend Adriana N to come out of the bathroom, my mind was quickly taken by these two zebras who seemed to be going through what I would call "mating behavior." I've honestly never seen anything like this. It was rather brilliant and fascinating!

Beim Eröffnungsgespräch zur multimedialen Installation »N Polytope« im Rahmen von Lichtlandschaften sprach der kanadische Künstler Chris Salter mit Sabine Himmelsbach im Vitra Design Museum über sein Interesse an den Aktionen des griechischen Komponisten und Architekten Iannis Xenakis. Dieser schuf in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren mit seiner Idee eines »Polytope« ein neuartiges Raumgebilde, in dem sich Licht, Klang und Architektur verbinden. Salter erläuterte, wie er Xenakis’ Ansatz heute künstlerisch neu interpretiert.
