************************Earth Day 2016.
Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network,[1] and celebrated in more than 193 countries each year.[2]
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.
It's Earth Day today April 22nd 2023 and I thought I'd upload something to mark this day, and what could be more appropriate than Asha on the beach with her earth beach ball. Earth Day is an annual event that aims to inspire awareness of and appreciation for our environment. There are two different observances of Earth Day, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the vernal (March) equinox; while a global observance in many countries is held each year on 22 April.
Facts about Earth
Age: 4.6 billion years old (Life as we know it, has only existed on the planet for the last 150 million to 200 million years)
Position: 3rd planet from the sun.
Size: 5th largest planet in our solar system.
Diameter: The Earth has an average diameter of 12,742 kilometers. (7,926 miles)
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to have water in its three states of matter: as a solid (ice), a liquid (sea, rain, etc.) and as a gas (clouds).
The length of time it takes for Earth to orbit the Sun is 365 and a quarter days. To make up this extra quarter which isn't counted at the end of a year, we have an extra day every four years on 29th February.
Earth travels through space at 66,700 miles per hour.
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...

"Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money."
-- Cree Indian Proverb
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.

Il nostro meraviglioso pianeta potrebbe tranquillamente fare a meno di noi.
Siamo noi che non possiamo fare a meno di lui.
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.
Ponta de São Lourenço.
Ponta de São Lourenço is the easternmost point of the island of Madeira. It is inside the town of Caniçal and forms a part of the municipality of Machico. Its terrain are made up of rocks and herbaceous vegetation. Since 1982, the headland is a nature reserve, where it has the conservation of its endemic plants including Matthiola maderensis, Echium nervosum, and Andryala glandulosa, and it has fauna, including birds, insects, and molluscs. One of them is Monachus monachus, a seal.

Earth Song, Michael Jackson www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAi3VTSdTxU
The short film to Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song,” his best-selling single in the United Kingdom, earned Michael the Doris Day Music Award from the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards. The urgent need to address the issues facing the planet and all that inhabit it were on the forefront of Michael’s mind when he created this song and short film, issues that are even more urgent today.
If anything good will maybe come out of all of the crisis we face today, is a new found respect and appreciation for the uniquely beautiful planet we live on, and how all life on it is connected.
I hope we evolve from our aggressive, destructive, rapacious tendencies to a more loving, compassionate way of being in the world.
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things that you said
We were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Tiny Pants says, share the earth, cherish the earth and all living things. Earth Day is Everyday.
Founded in 1970 by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, from Wisconsin, Earth Day is now celebrated worldwide. Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the first Earth Day. In these terrible times we need to reflect on our lives and our impact on our beloved planet.
Stay safe, Be kind <3
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, it is greatly appreciated.

This hardly seems like England - yet this tropical vegetation can be found on the edge of the lake at The Vyne NT property in Hampshire. The wicker 'heron' in the background makes the whole scene seem weirder and weirder!

"" 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

“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.
Hello, my friends! That one shot calls again for the key words such as lavender, field, lying down, bees, awkward, etc.....all in one sentence and describing the scene. Sounds familiar? However, I just couldn't resist posting it because I came away with some of my very favorite images ever from that session :)
Have a great weekend my friends!
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.
