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?
Stay-at-Home order still takes effect... Making the best on the doorstep. Rural before sunset.
I was staying at home over a month, except out for working and grocery shopping... This is within the range of walking distance for exercise, which is allowed, I just carried my camera walking, no tripod, no LE... We had gray days most of time, it was so sunshine today.
Stay safe!

Looking close... on Friday! Different Shades of Green
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 ;-)
Today's work is one of a family collaboration. First of all my imaginative grandsons, Niko, and Devin, created the beautiful "love you" words on my driveway with flowers. Then my daughter, Diana, took their photo and finally I finished it with a kiss from all of us. We as a family feel strongly about our environment and caring for and loving it.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
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!

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.

Non lontano dalla spiaggia di Playa El Golfo, si trova una delle attrazioni più singolari di Lanzarote, isola straordinariamente ricca di peculiarità e di forti caratteristiche identitarie dal punto di vista naturalistico.
Si tratta del Lago Verde, un nome straordinariamente anonimo per un paesaggio così suggestivo.
Il Lago Verde è spesso definito come un simbolo di Lanzarote per il suo essere simbiotico nei confronti delle due forze naturali che hanno generato e scolpito l’isola nel corso dei millenni: il vulcano e l’acqua marina.
La laguna è stata generata da un antico cratere vulcanico sprofondato sotto il suo peso, nella cui cavità è confluita acqua marina.
Organismi vegetali marini ed alghe hanno potuto prosperare nel pur ridotto spazio del lago grazie alla presenza dei sali minerali di origine vulcanica. Tale presenza vegetale ha donato al laghetto il caratteristico colorito verde intenso.
Il contrasto tra la oscura roccia vulcanica circostante e il verde profondo del lago costituiscono quasi un’iride, un occhio verde che affascina e ammalia con il suo sguardo.

Lope de Vega
Al hombro el cielo, aunque su sol sin lumbre
de Lope de Vega
Al hombro el cielo, aunque su sol sin lumbre,
y en eclipse mortal las más hermosas
estrellas, nieve ya las puras rosas,
y el cielo tierra, en desigual costumbre.
Tierra, forzosamente pesadumbre,
y así, no Atlante, a las heladas losas
que esperan ya sus prendas lastimosas,
Sísifo sois, por otra incierta cumbre.
Suplícoos me digáis, si Amor se atreve
¿cuándo pesó con más pesar, Fernando,
o siendo fuego, o convertida en nieve?
Mas el fuego no pesa, que exhalando
la materia a su centro, es carga leve;
la nieve es agua, y pesará llorando.
Snow
Lope de Vega
On the shoulder the sky, although its sun without light
by Lope de Vega
On the shoulder the sky, although its sun without light,
and in mortal eclipse the most beautiful
stars, snow and pure roses,
and heaven earth, in unequal custom.
Earth, necessarily grief,
and so, not Atlantean, to the frozen slabs
already waiting for their pitiful garments,
Sisyphus you are, for another uncertain summit.
Please tell me, if Love dares
When did you weigh more heavily, Fernando,
or being fire, or turned into snow?
But the fire does not weigh, than exhaling
matter at its center is light load;
snow is water, and will weigh crying.

Peace On Earth is an abstract photo of a dandelion. It is one of seven version. I like this one for its simplicity.

Before we had to fence our backyard in order to adopt our dog, Emmy, I had a love/hate relationship with deer. The deer in our neighborhood viewed our backyard as a haven with the added benefit of gourmet dining.
It was lovely to look out my window and see one peacefully sleeping in my garden. However, I didn't like how they destroyed my garden - aargh! Anyway, the fence solved the whole issue, but at times I still miss seeing them.

The “Red Earth” is a temporary installment commissioned for the Huntington Library and Garden’s Centennial Celebration. Pasadena, CA.
“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.”
― Fernando Pessoa
