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.

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.
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! ❤️❤️❤️

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.

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.
Peace On Earth is an abstract photo of a dandelion. It is one of seven version. I like this one for its simplicity.
Coniston Water lies at a rare quiet. The surface holds the sky in a perfect, unbroken reflection.
It reminds me of what Earth Day asks of us. Not grand gestures, just care. To keep it safe, and to understand that places like this are not only beautiful, but fragile in their quiet way.
Please enjoy the still details in Large!
Thank you so much for your visit!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA The sculpture, entitled Egg – The Unity of Diversity, is a stunning, three-dimensional art piece that you can walk through! As you explore the inside you’ll find a colorful collection of two-dimensional cut-outs and three-dimensional relief sculptures – all celebrating the diversity of life on earth.

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’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.

Will be back later to visit your works.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
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.
