You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own, that they must protect them.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Just happened to look out the side window as I was driving to Westhay today and spotted this rather splendid sight. The most I've ever seen together. Global warming strikes again :@\
On my window sill this morning I found this quite wonderful, delicate Southern Oak Bush-cricket; her green adorned with that pretty red. She reminded me of 'la Fée Verte', the Green Fairy, a name by which the liquor absinthe once went - light in the uptake, quite harsh though in the aftermath. Absinthe, of course, has often been associated with Bohemian culture of the likes of Oscar Wilde, Hemingway and many others. For a long time the drink was banned. Earlier, absinthe down through the ages was used as a drug of purification. The fresh green of our cricket brings purity to my mind.
This Bush-cricket is relatively new to The Netherlands. It hails from the Adriatic and Mediterranean but has been found here since 1992 perhaps due to global warming and mass international travel. However that may be, she delighted Olymp and me.
The west coast of Vancouver Island kept me busy with its lovely surroundings. More time was required to capture its true beauty. Next time!
'Bug of the Day'... Classed as a 'Rare vagrant', we had at least five males and one female which was observed mating and ovipositing at Knighton reserve in Dorset today. A sign of Global warming...

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Our lack of stewardship with our earth is obvious through the huge climate changes. Yet it seems that we still have not learned how to nurture our world rather than abuse it. So my message is let's take heed how nature is reacting and if we don't make the change we will lose!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
"I want to go back again"
That's how I reacted a year ago to a photo I saw on social media of Iceland (I've also been there in 2014, but then in the summer). Shortly afterwards I received a message from someone on social media : When are we going? We had never met before, we only had contact on social media. I know someone who would like to come along, said Frank. No sooner said than done: Colin was added to the group. At the beginning of 2022 we have booked for 10 days: The south side of Iceland, from West to East and back again, in a 4x4. We met every month for the rest of the year to make some kind of planning for the trip. This often resulted in a pleasant evening with dozens of ideas and we actually had to go to Iceland for at least 10 weeks. The route was finally determined and recorded.
Once in Iceland: It felt really good. Humor, talkative, flexible and not too difficult. All 3 have the same passion: Landscape photography. Sometimes the whole day was turned around because we got stuck in some places... Had a very nice time, new friendships and who knows... The Northern side of Iceland is also very beautiful, it is said.

Tomorrow is December 1st and for many the frenzy begins. I thought this would be a timely upload!
The "Good Life" - a photographic perspective on consumerism.
When we think of the "good life" we often think of living in luxury but maybe living a simpler life is the better life....
Photo #2 - "All I Want"
This photo was the first idea I had for the series. Consumerism is never more prevalent than over the holidays. In talking with other parents I was struck one day by a comment that was made. "I'm not sure I have enough stuff, I think I need to buy more" one parent said referencing the amount of gifts they had bought their children. It really made me look at the notion of buying "stuff" in abundance for our children over the holidays or any other time of year for that matter. Especially in the younger years when it becomes a frenzy of presents they toss to the side as they move on to the next. All of which eventually ends up in a landfill.
In our family, we do celebrate Christmas but have slowly learned to cut back and miraculously everyone survives and we're all still happy.
Once again, I'd like to thank my indigenous friends for helping me deliver the message of need vs want in this series. I have learned much from their wisdom and intricate relationship to the land.
Thank you so much Aurora and Claudia! xo
One last fact - all of those presents you see were rented from a prop shop and the doll was also rented from a wonderful craftswoman at the Alderville PowWow.

as if we were the last

On the Southern limit of the North Pole ice stack 81°2'4.5726" N
The polar ice is rapidly recessing, threatening the survival of the polar bears. No one of the powerful politicians in charge is doing anything to avoid it, at the contrary they and giant oil companies want it to increase their profit and power. Our grand children won't know what is this awesome beautiful free wildlife of the Arctic sea.

In the air at 10:45 on a Monday morning. Just a snapshot of a moment in time, and so it goes on and on. Makes you think doesn't it.

Eden Project (Cornish: Edenva).
Wow Wow Wow! Loved it here. Took tons of shots, just a few coming up :)
If you're thinking of going, Go!
To date, about 20 million visitors have come to the Eden Project from all over the world. Last year there were in excess of 850,000 visitors. It cost a staggering £141m to build.
Never heard of the Eden Project? Google it :)
Aufnahme aus dem Jahr 1987.
Die Gletscherzunge befand sich damals auf 1230m! Das Foto wurde mit einer sehr einfachen Kamera aufgenommen, daher die geringe Qualität. Es ist aber deutlich erkennbar, was seitdem aus diesem einst großartigen Gletscher geworden ist, wenn man aktuelle Bilder des Gletschers mit dieser Aufnahme vergleicht.
While Environment Canada is predicting windchill values to hover in the - 20s all weekend, CP24 Meterologist Bill Coulter says it might feel even colder than that at points. GTA under special weather statement ahead of frigid weekend temperatures. Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the entire Greater Toronto Area ahead of the arrival of frigid weekend temperatures that could feel as cold as – 30 with the windchill.

Extinction Rebellion supporters on London's Regent Street.
Never has the issue of climate change been more urgent. The most recent IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report, published on 4 April 2022, stated that drastic action was needed immediately in order to prevent a climate catastrophe that would mean millions becoming refugees and millions more suffering from malnutrition and famine.
This would require an immediate halt to any investment in or expansion of fossil fuel production. However, despite the stark warning, the UK government is determined to continue investment in North Sea oil and gas, seemingly dedicated to accelerating climate change..
Professor Jim Skea, co-chair of the working group at the IPCC responsible for determining the best measures for mitigating climate change, declared "It's now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5C. Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.'
Realising that years of petitioning and protests had failed to persuade the British government of the need for immediate and profound measures to reduce emissions, Extinction Rebellion decided to launch a week of direct action across Britain. In London, this started on the weekend of 9 and 10 April, with climate change activists marching through central London, for two days of protests which included sit down blockades of Vauxhall and Lambeth bridges. On Lambeth Bridge a group of doctors and nurses refused to leave and were arrested by the police.
According to the group website Doctorsforxr.com, 'Doctors for Extinction Rebellion is a doctors' collective who, appreciating that climate change is an impending public health catastrophe, have decided to undertake civil disobedience with Extinction Rebellion.
I Would Keep It Clean
A year ago, Eric Raeber started a project where he asked children this question: ”If Earth was the size of a beach ball, what could you do to save our planet?” The children came up with incredibly creative ideas on how to improve the health of our planet, and together with Eric, they illustrated their visions with wonderful images.
Eric has challenged friends at G+ and FB to show us in a photo or a video how they would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball). Alternatively, they had the option of making a difference by planting a few trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help reach the goal of 100,000 trees by Earth Day. Stacy was one of the persons that got the challenge (you can see her image here: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210996065631395&set... ), and Stacy in turn has challenged me.
This is my entry thanks to the challenge from Stacy.
So now, I want to challenge JR McCurdie to show us in a photo or a video how he would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball).
Anyone can make a difference by planting trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help us reach the goal of 100'000 trees by Earth Day.
