If you've ever seen the dirt flying when a Badger is digging a den or after some underground prey, now you know what they use to get the job done.

Driving from Calgary to Kananaskis was a big pleasure enjoying the wonderful views. Really love the road trip through the mountains, pleased by the wildlife, lakes and forest. The photo was taken on the backyards of the camping sites. The Kananaskis lake walks were great with awesome views of the lakes from the forests.
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
Brush off the dirt
And let my change of heart occur...

CAMINO DE LA GRANJA
Zorro en busca de refugio tras haber bebido en la Fuente de la Marquesa.
Partiendo del Monasterio de La Santa Espina, aguas abajo del rio Bajoz, al pie de la carretera de San Cebrián de Mazote, discurre parte del del camino de la Granja. Camino que retorna al propio Monasterio. Su recorrido es de 8 km. y unas 2 horas de duración, de escasa dificultad, puede recorrerse durante todo el año.
La historia y tradición que impregna la edificación de la granja. Pudo ser posada para monjes enfermos, o bien residencia para el mayordomo de labranza y criados del convento), dan nombre a la ruta.
El sendero es de gran tranquilidad y Naturaleza en estado puro: En su recorrido se pueden ver corzo, ZORROS, conejos etc.. Mágicos y umbrías choperas que dejan entrever el Pueblo de la Santa Espina. Espeso monte sobrevolado por numerosas rapaces, los verdes valles del Bajoz y Sobravíos, dibujan un paisaje tapizado por sistemas de regadío de época de colonización: pozos, acequias, cigüeñales, algún estanque, fuentes naturales como la Fuente de La Marquesa.
El camino atesora vistas de gran belleza: la horizontalidad de paramo, llanura agreste contemplada desde el Chalet de Piedra (antigua casa del guarda) el Pueblo de la Santa Espina, el propio Monasterio y el monte que lo circunda, se divisan desde un recodo situado a los pies de la Cuesta de los Almendros, a modo de balcón.

I remember the first one well in 1970, my senior year. They let us out of school that afternoon and we picked up litter around town. Then we had a celebration for old Gaia. Great fun.
Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.
I admire, support and greatly appreciate the portions of our precious planet that we have protected for future generations to enjoy, like this view of Mt. Rainier capturing the first light on another glorious day.
Thanks for the taking a look, and protecting and celebrating our home.

On our Earth there are many unique places, all of which should be preserved, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is unquestionably one of them.
This is a view from Artist Point. It has been photographed a bizzilion times. I was trying to avoid "instagram" shots on this trip, but I couldn't help myself - the location is just so impressive and special. Fortunately, I had some clouds in the sky so the canyon was relatively evenly lit. That allowed the colors to really pop. There simply is no other name for this marvel of earthly creation.

"" The Middle-Earth is not ... One of my invention. Is a modernization or alteration ... of an ancient Word That meant the inhabited world From Men, oikoumene :. Because middle you thought vaguely that it was placed in the middle of the seas that surrounded it, and (in the imagination Nordic) Among the icy north and the Southern fires. "
J.R.R. Tolkien
Also cold days here in Italy.
Here to me little snow, but the mountains around have substantial white dusting.
The "middle-earth" has its destiny:))
Incredibly in our Alps there is no snow and ski resorts must be adapted to plan housewives snows.
While in our South, usually with mild winters, it has been flooded with so much snow to block roads, railways and planes

Sunset at Mesquite Flats in February. There are folks spread out all over the dunes to watch the show, including one couple getting married off to the right.

“The poetry of the earth is never dead.” -John Keats
I’ve learned to cherish wilderness, which wasn’t always the case. Growing up around it made me take it for granted. Now, I realize how much a life outdoors is a life well lived. I always feel better after getting a dose of nature.
The last day of summer was a perfect, mild day in the low 70’s. Autumn announced itself with gusto, dropping the temps to the 50’s the next day. Quite the entrance!
This photo was taken with my I-Phone 6 camera years ago while looking at Google Earth on my computer. One surely realizes it is not a high quality digital photo, nevertheless, seeing the Earth in this way can be fascinating. This is a dry wash near Red Rock Canyon State Park in Cantil, California. Maybe someone would be inspired to try a shot like this with their drone.
Couldn't think of a name for this image so I consulted with my 10 year old. who, after a couple of minutes of thought came up with suggestion of 'Earth' which I think may just work.
I started to write a grand speech on how we can and should take care of Mother Earth, but I think all of you know that already. I also think that we are all going to be hyper aware of it's beauty when we leave or den caves in a couple weeks, maybe scenes like this at Mirror Lakes will be that much more sublime. In the meantime, here's to Spring and all the wonderment it heralds.
“After the rains departed the skies and settled on earth - clear skies; moist brilliant earth - greater clarity returned to life alone with the blue above and made the world below rejoice with the freshness of the recent rain. It left heaven in our souls and a freshness in our hearts.”
