Situated on the southern shores of Loch Rannoch, the Black Woods are one of two Caledonian Forest reserves in Perthshire.
Being paler green, the mid-distant rowan tree catches the eye; it stands at a corner of what used to be a farm building, now nothing but a pile of rubble.

Freshly plowed field on a cloudy day. The photo was taken at the beginning of the spring season in the Dutch province of North Brabant.
The Overdiepse Polder is an elongated polder located between the Bergsche Maas and the Oude Maasje in the river clay area. In the context of the Room for the River project, the area has been designated as a water storage facility at high water levels in the river. The original farms have been demolished and replaced by new ones built on mounds.
Pas ingezaaide akker op een bewolkte dag aan het begin van de lente. De foto is gemaakt bij de Overdiepse Polder in Noord-Brabant.
De Overdiepse Polder is een langgerekte polder die zich tussen de Bergsche Maas en het Oude Maasje bevindt in het rivierkleigebied. In het kader van het project Ruimte voor de Rivier is het gebied aangewezen als waterberging bij hoge waterstanden in de rivier. De oorspronkelijke boerderijen zijn gesloopt en vervangen door nieuwe bedrijven gebouwd op terpen.

An urban scene from the streets of Glasgow, Scotland in September 2019.
This is our environment, our world, our home - and this is how we treat it.
Hand on heart, how many of us can say that we have never dropped litter?
How many have considered that little bits of plastic, including cigarette butts with plastic filters, wash away from our environment down rivers and into the seas? If you eat fish and sea food you are eating plastic.
Sadly our industries are, for the most part, more carefree with their waste than we are as individuals.
If we can't care for our immediate environment then we cannot care for our wider world.
I have been out voluntarily picking litter at least once a week for the past six months or so. Mostly on a cycle path nearby but sometimes along the shoreline too. I actually put my back out for a couple of weeks removing 26 empty vodka bottles from under a single bush! No I am not expecting everyone to go out and pick litter, just to think a bit more about the environment in which they live. What could be done to make it nicer, cleaner and a happier place to be. The inverse of the broken window theory has to be true.
Take care my Flickr friends.
ps. yes that pink bundle is a sleeping bag back there.
Caught in a moment of stillness within the vibrant tableau of Villa Verde, on the outskirts of Celaque National Park in Gracias, Lempira, the Azure-crowned Hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanocephala, became the subject of my latest photograph. This Central American exclusive, with its regal blue crown and delicate dusting of pollen, is a living emblem of the region's ecological narrative. The image captures the bird in profile, its beak a testament to its role as a pollinator within its habitat, the dynamic interplay of life and growth in Honduras.
From the perspective of a photographer, the shot was about honoring the bird's natural poise, contrasting its vivid colors against the soft, green backdrop without losing the subject into the foliage. The challenge was to wait for that split-second pause, balancing a shallow depth of field with the need for sharp detail, all while ensuring the lighting captured the sparkle in its feathers and the subtle textures of its environment. This photograph isn’t just a static image; it’s a slice of life, a breath between beats in the heart of the forest.

Rover School is in session...
In Basic Rover Operations 101, one of the first skills we must master is the use of the Grabber. This clawed implement provides a handy way to interact with the environment without needing to leave the comfort of your plush upholstered pilot's chair or risk contamination from unknown flora or fauna.
Here some PinkTron Exchange Students pass the test with a demonstration of their Grabber prowess. (Don't worry, the Daisy Gazer student volunteer was unharmed in the demonstration.)

Red-tailed Hawk
The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the "Chickenhawk," though it rarely preys on standard sized chickens. It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common Buteos in North America. Red-tailed Hawks can acclimate to all the biomes within their range. There are fourteen recognized subspecies, which vary in appearance and range. It is one of the largest members of the genus Buteo in North America, typically weighing from 1.5 to 3.5 pounds, and measuring 18–26 inches in length, with a wingspan from 43–57 inches. The Red-tailed Hawk displays sexual dimorphism in size, with females averaging about 25% heavier than males. The bird is sometimes referred to as the red-tail for short, when the meaning is clear in context.

Gathright Dam on the Jackson River, near Covington, Va., is an earthen dam used for flood damage reduction for communities downstream along the Jackson and James rivers. The dam also allows the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to mix water from various depths of Lake Moomaw to maintain a constant water temperature and flow downstream to help wildlife.
I chose this photo to post to "Your Best Shot 2017" (www.flickr.com/groups/yourbestshot2017/)
This image represents an important event in the world in 2017 and also an important event in my life. I started my life as a political-and-social-activist at age 15, so it seemed appropriate to mark my 50+ years as an activist at age 71 by attending the Women's March in DC on Jan 21, 2017.
The women, men, and children at the march showed support for many issues, including the environment. This image ended up in Explore, so it was not only my favorite image from the event, but became the fave of many Flickr members, too.

Women's March - Washington DC, 01/21/17
This is one of my favorite signs that I saw in DC.
I don't allow downloads on my Flickr account, but if you want to use this photo (or others from the Women's March) in protest to the current administration or to use for civil rights (for everyone) issues, or to highlight environmental issues, send me a Flickr msg with your email and the title of my image. I'll send you a jpg file.
The woman holding the sign reminds me of one of my best friends in college. She's now, like me, in her 70's, but this reminds me of her during our college days.

1An Indiana sunset with Steel Dynamics (made 3 billion dollars last year). The EPA says Indiana is the most polluting state. This fortune 50 company and Republicans hid it the middle of no where in a very rural area. Now they are trying ban solar panels in the county. we Hoosiers are not smart primates.
Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.
Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are common sources of air pollution. Pollutants of major public health concern include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Outdoor and indoor air pollution cause respiratory and other diseases and are important sources of morbidity and mortality.
Air quality is closely linked to the earth’s climate and ecosystems globally. Policies to reduce air pollution, therefore, offer a win-win strategy for both climate and health, lowering the burden of disease attributable to air pollution, as well as contributing to the near- and long-term mitigation of climate change.
