I guess everyone saw the terrible images of the sea in the Gulf of Mexico in flames due of the continuing oil drilling in the sea. Some governments are still depending on oil, not looking into the future of clean energies, not looking into what are we going to leave to our future generations.
I do not know if we are still before a point of no return.
"There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains
And a hurricane is blowing, and it turns once again
Now there's oil spills in the water where Columbus once sailed
And there's history and mystery and it's rolling away
I wish you could see this great mystery
Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, thin blue line
Earth and sun and moon will survive..."

another colorful reflection in a puddle, this one from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
(the only puddle I found in Mexico! I may be the only person that secretly hopes for rain during my travels :)
At the Lincoln Memorial last weekend, a photographer started chatting with me and mentioned that she was working on a project called ‘the disappearing American dream’ - it seemed apt in these times
