Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations

project - celebrating the beauty of winter.

 

I love the scents of winter! For me, it's all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.

Taylor Swift

 

I prefer winter and Fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape--the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.

Andrew Wyeth

 

It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it.

John Burroughs

Three in a Panda cruising Varanger Peninsula, North Norway 🐶🚙🇳🇴

Today I am starting a new theme suggested by my good friend, Ellen Gould who asked that I do a series of flags for various nations: The nation of trees, the nation of water, the Universe, The Earth and one for the nation of the sky, the nation of wind, for each of the planets, stars, flowers, animal kingdom, and perhaps a flag for humanity. Below are my first set of flags, they are A Love Song to the Earth, For the Love of Birds, Nature's Symphony, The Beauty of Raindrops, Appreciating the Beauty of the Sky and Finding the Wonder in Trees. I hope that you enjoy them, does anyone want to join me in this project?

We cannot dilly dally anymore, we are ruining our environment through our out of control garbage/rubbish.

 

I have used in the top center a photo of a sculpture I did for an exhibition done in collaboration with the Moving Ethos Modern Dancer Company called Purity & Pollution. It was floating in the pool during the exhibition. It is entirely made out of garbage (rubbish) and is mostly made of plastics, although glass and cans (tins) are included and the surfboard of course.

As I walk with Beauty

As I walk, as I walk,

The universe is walking with me,

In beauty it walks before me,

In beauty it walks behind me,

In beauty it walks below me,

In beauty it walks above me,

Beauty is on every side.

, also known as the Indian Tiger, is one of the most majestic and charismatic big cats on the planet. These large felines are native to the Indian subcontinent and are the most numerous tiger subspecies, with an estimated population of around 2,500 individuals.

 

The Royal Bengal Tiger is a carnivorous predator, feeding mainly on deer, wild pigs, and buffalo. They are also known to hunt other animals such as monkeys, birds, and reptiles. Their strong jaws and sharp teeth, combined with their powerful legs and muscular body, make them incredibly efficient hunters.

 

These tigers are famous for their distinctive orange fur with black stripes. The pattern of the stripes is unique to each individual, and scientists can use these stripes to identify individual tigers. Their fur also helps them blend into their surroundings, providing camouflage in the tall grasses and forests where they live.

 

Unfortunately, the Royal Bengal Tiger is also one of the most endangered big cats in the world, with habitat loss and poaching being the main threats to their survival. Their habitat is being destroyed at an alarming rate due to human encroachment, and poaching for their bones, skin, and other body parts is a major issue.

 

Conservation efforts are underway to protect the Royal Bengal Tiger, including the establishment of protected areas and the implementation of anti-poaching measures. These efforts have helped stabilize some populations, but more work is needed to ensure the long-term survival of this magnificent animal.

 

In conclusion, the Royal Bengal Tiger is a fascinating and beautiful animal, but sadly, it is also endangered. We must continue to work towards protecting and conserving this species to ensure that future generations can admire and appreciate these majestic creatures in the wild.

When are we going to heed the advice of scientists about how we are destroying our world? Lets start protecting it and have a world for our children to live in, we are running out of time and fast!

 

We have a single mission:

to protect and hand on

the planet to the next

“Adults keep saying we owe it to the young people, to give them hope, but I don’t want your hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. I want you to act. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house is on fire, because it is.”

Greta Thunberg, 17 year-old Swedish Activist

 

“We really need to kick the carbon habit and stop making our energy from burning things. Climate change is also really important. You can wreck one rainforest then move, drain one area of resources and move onto another, but climate change is global.”

COMMON NAME: Bengal Tiger

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Panthera tigris tigris

TYPE: Mammals

DIET: Carnivore

AVERAGE LIFE SPAN IN THE WILD: 8 to 10 years

SIZE: Head and body: 5 to 6 feet; tail: 2 to 3 feet

WEIGHT: 240 to 500 pounds

 

In the tall grass and dense jungle,

Lurks the Royal Bengal Tiger so agile,

With fur as bright as the setting sun,

And stripes as black as a night begun.

 

Their powerful legs and jaws so strong,

They hunt their prey all day long,

Deer, pigs, and buffalo too,

Their diet is one of a fierce carnivore's brew.

 

The pattern of their stripes is unique,

Helping them blend in, without a peek,

Into the forest they disappear,

Without a trace, and without a fear.

 

But alas, their future is in doubt,

For their habitat is dwindling, no doubt,

Human encroachment and poaching too,

Are the threats that make them few.

 

Conservation efforts are underway,

To protect the Royal Bengal Tiger each day,

Protected areas and anti-poaching measures,

Help ensure these tigers' survival pleasures.

 

So let us strive to protect and conserve,

This beautiful beast we truly deserve,

The Royal Bengal Tiger, may it thrive,

And continue to inspire us all to survive.

This is an old photo I uploaded to Facebook in August 2020. The subject is still relevant today, if not more so!

 

The less we care for our planet, the worse it gets, and we only have ourselves to blame. The dollar is not more important than life, but for some, it seems to be!

What more can I say?

 

With heartfelt and sincere thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful day, be well, stay alert, appreciate the beauty around you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often!❤️❤️❤️
