Happy weekend, dear friends :-)
Thank you for your kind visits and comments -;)
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 ;-)
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...

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.

The Ana Kai Tangata cave is of note because in the back left wall cave paintings depicting birds, mainly manutaras, can be seen. The paintings were drawn using natural earth pigments and animal fat, but the high humidity of the cave has harmed them almost to the point of erasing them.
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.
I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
I wish I could rule the time
Candy sky and summer
I wish I could rule the Earth
to make a big heart of her
Yes, it's love and compassion
Not war and loneliness
Yes, it's love and compassion
The world and all it's beauty
The wind blows, the storm comes
That will wash me from all evil
With the clouds you can not see
The blue sky that's above us
And the lights that will come to light us
I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
(my own translation from Bruno Mad - Dia de Verão/Summer day)

Rudyard Kipling
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

Took this image on Saturday 10th April 2021 of Yr Wyddfa 1,085m (Snowdon in English) - the highest mountain in Wales from the shore of Llyn y Dywarchen in anticipation of Earth Day.
Such beauty too with a dusting of snow on its summit.
I very much hope similar views like this will still be enjoyed by many generations to come. The world is still a beautiful place and well worth protecting!
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!
It is of course Gunnera manicata or Prickly rhubarb www.water2garden.org/giant-prickly-rhubarb/

"" 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!
