Anhinga's are one of my favorite birds. Normally I like raptors, but Anhinga's crack me up. When the male comes home to the nest, if it doesn't have nesting material in his beak, he's talking during the landing and is usually met with a enthusiastic vocal greeting. They often land comically. They sometimes toss fish they've speared in the air before gulping it down. Called a "snake bird" because of their snakelike neck, or "turkey bird" because of their turkey like tail, they provide a wonderfully active subject to observe and photograph. Here's one caught coming home with nesting material. I call it "Anhinga Environmental" because I chose a wide rather than a close crop.
Thanks for checking out my work and always feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss photography,
Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at London UK of a guy going about his important business of helping to keep our streets clean.
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to put amongst their "FAVES".
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to leave a "Comment", I'll do my very best to reply to you individually.
These are the prickers that stick your legs and ankles when you walk in grassy fields. Now they are caught, not my socks, but the flesh of a dried leaf!

Oh' how we all wish a few single stitches could solve the 🌎 worlds environmental problems. Ah .... but alas, unfortunately, it's much more complex.
Much more than a couple of stitches can fix .... 💦
Love & Peace ❤️💚💛💜
Cutting trees to make space for new buildings. Some people call it urbanization, others call it environmental destruction.
Indonesia is currently facing one of massive drilling induced environmental disaster in the form of uncontrolled huge mudflow and the consequent environmental damage which started on May 29, 2006 during drilling of an exploratory well Banjar Panji-1 in Siring village in Porong district in Sidoarjo regency, East Java, Indonesia, and is still continuing until this time.
For two years and five months the seepages in the earth has been oozing hot mud enough to fill 50 Olympic-size swimming pools every day. The mud also has accompanying methane and hydrogen sulphide, though in small quantities giving foul odor. The oozing mud has inundated huge area of land in and around and has made 12,000 families homeless by submerging 4 villages, 30 factories, 33 schools and hundreds of hectares of farmland and ponds. Now nobody knows when this mud flow will stop, it is estimated that this flow may last for another 30 years in the form of mud volcano. This mud flow has already resulted in subsidence of land due to subsurface voidage creation resulting in damage to nearby trunk gas pipe line and railway line and toll road. An expenditure of US$ 1.1 billion is estimated to meet compensation to the affected people and to rectify the infrastructural damage.
Finally the mud is being channeled to the Porong River to the sea, the environmental damage potential of which has not even been studied.

The Library is sponsoring book displays based on topics given to us by student clubs and organizations. The second book display is sponsored by Students for Environmental Action, which "works to inform and educate the Emmanuel Community about the importance of the environment and the current issues that it is facing; as well as working collaboratively to take action against these issues."

Now things are starting to make sense. Here we are at the edge of the marsh, in the middle of the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center, looking back at the start of the boardwalk, the waste treatment plant, and the town of Port Aransas. Pretty popular place on Sunday morning in clear weather. For good reason, as we'll see presently.
Sorry if "Environmental-Industrial Complex" sounds sinister, by association with Eisenhower's famous warning. In this case industry serves the environment, which is a good thing--maybe even the best we can manage at this stage of the Anthropocene.

Hats off to the Ontario Government for allowing these! Some municipalities here in the Province of Ontario actually banned the use of clotheslines by instituting by-laws. The former City of Kanata was one such municipality that would not allow them.
Even if you don't agree with the Liberal Government, you have to agree that this was a good move!
Here is the News Release that was released today April 18th.
ONTARIANS GET TO AIR THEIR LAUNDRY
McGuinty Government Lifts Ban On Outdoor Clotheslines
NEWS
This summer, Ontarians will have the choice to dry their laundry on an outdoor clothesline.
Premier Dalton McGuinty said the province is putting an end to some restrictions that prevent people from using outdoor clotheslines. This includes agreements between home builders and buyers in some towns and cities in Ontario.
Using outdoor clotheslines instead of electric dryers can:
Save consumers $30 per year when they reduce their dryer use by 25 per cent.
Cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Reduce demand on the power grid — home dryers use about 900 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
QUOTES
"There's a whole generation of kids growing up today who think a clothesline is a wrestling move. We want parents to have the choice to use the wind and the sun to dry their clothes for free," said Premier McGuinty.
"We want every Ontario family to have the tools they need to save energy and save money. Just using a clothesline instead of a dryer can make a significant difference to your pocketbook, reduce demand on the electricity grid, and help keep our air clean," said Energy Minister Gerry Phillips.
QUICK FACTS
Florida, Utah and Hawaii have laws in place that ensure people can use clotheslines. Similar legislation is being considered in Vermont.
Electric clothes dryers use about six per cent of electricity in the home — as much as a refrigerator running 24-7.
Over the course of a year, five clothes dryers could result in roughly the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as an average-size car.

Northern Cape Province
South Africa
The Northern Cape is the largest and most sparsely populated province of South Africa. It was created in 1994 when the Cape Province was split up. Its capital is Kimberley. It includes the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, an international park shared with Botswana. It also includes the Augrabies Falls and the diamond mining regions in Kimberley and Alexander Bay. The Namaqualand region in the west is famous for its Namaqualand daisies.
This photo was taken on my way to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

A pair of Norfolk Southern heritage motors were the DPUs on train 776 on the Lurgan Line somewhere near Milepost 14.
A dusting of Tesla fuel was covering the countryside.
The young lady is lighting up some fireworks on the 4th of July. A lot of fireworks had already been ignited, making the street look like a war zone, complete with burnt-up red debris. It was almost surreal with the smoke and all, like a metaphor the for environmental destruction of earth.

A repost of an earlier image....I really need to get out more !

Well, not prehistoric and not actually a beast, but a colorful eastern painted turtle surveys its pond at CBEC hoping that some succulent juicy insect might offer itself up as lunch. Yeah, well, Walter MItty could dream too.
Anyway, I loved the colors in this shot and turtles, although slow moving, tend to drop into the water at the first sign of danger. So, I was happy this one stayed up long enough for me to take some photos of it.

Clean energy is great but what is the long term impact on the land and the wildlife that live there ?
Pretty little plant, native to the northern hemisphere and now well established and naturalised here in Australia. Some states have placed environmental weed status.
Also known as rabbit foot clover and stone clover.
Flowers are grouped in a dense inflorescence 20 to 30 mm in length and 10 to 15 mm in width. Like all clovers, leaves are trifoliate, divided into three slender, sessile leaflets.
