************************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.
27/03/2021, at 8.30 pm Earth Hour starts: in the dark for an hour against the climatic and biological crisis.
I agree. And you?

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.
We only have one home planet and we must take care of it. Let's work together to protect the Earth.
Taken from my camping spot with my horses last Fall. My favourite place on Earth.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
I better get my head out of the clouds and go clean my barn ;-)
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...

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.
Happy Earth Day!
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."
John Muir
"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.
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

"" 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!
