"Showing the space-saving device of build-
ing a 'set' within a 'set', and further of
setting up an 'exterior' within an 'in-

Sorry about the bad lighting but it's an hour earlier this morning than usual and the girls don't like the time change very much.
Ever since we sprang forward on Sunday we seem to have twice as many daylight hours, which is very nice. I took my little hazelnuts outside and had a relaxing afternoon reading, blowing bubbles and just enjoying the sun.
Teddy Roosevelt once described Burney Falls as the “eighth wonder of the world”. Great views of the falls are accessible right from the parking lot, while a short easy hike takes you to the base. A 1.3 mile trail circles the falls.
The park's centerpiece is the 129-foot Burney Falls, which is not the highest or largest waterfall in the state, but possibly the most beautiful. Additional water comes from springs, joining to create a mist-filled basin. Burney Creek originates from the park's underground springs and flows to Lake Britton, getting larger along the way to the majestic falls.
The park's landscape was created by volcanic activity as well as erosion from weather and streams. This volcanic region is surrounded by mountain peaks and is covered by black volcanic rock, or basalt. Created over a million years ago, the layered, porous basalt retains rainwater and snow melt, which forms a large underground reservoir.
Within the park, the water emerges as springs at and above Burney Falls, where it flows at 100 million gallons every day.
Burney Falls was named after pioneer settler Samuel Burney who lived in the area in the 1850s. The MacArthur’s were pioneer settlers who arrived in the late 1800s. Descendants were responsible for saving the waterfall and nearby land from development. They bought the property and gave it to the state as a gift in the 1920s.

Greenpeace campaigners in London joined forces with a samba band outside the Brazilian Embassy to save the Amazon rainforest. They hoisted a banner saying Save the Amazon and the band played for the embassy staff. The activists were part of a worldwide effort which saw similar activities take place around the world, including Paris, Rome, Berlin, Mexico City and Washington DC. These global activities are aimed to remind Brazils President Dilma Rousseff that almost 80 per cent of Brazilians want the Amazon protected.

When you can't shift it yourself you get someone to help you.
Not only good at first aid, but we can help shift the rubbish bin too!
I'd been filling this pot with welsh pound coins for a couple of years... nice surprise when I smashed it open - £523 : )
Bewedji village, Northern Senegal: Mayram Sallif Jallo and women build an energy-saving stove. Our partner USE is teaching women to make stoves that are safer and use less firewood. Women often need to travel several miles to find wood in a region hit by drought and deforestation.
Turning off the water to prevent bursting water pipes that would destroy our home. I felt overwhelmed and scared by the uncertainty. I worried about those who did not have the tools, perhaps even the physical ableness to turn off their pipes to which burst pipes caused immense destruction. I worried most about those who had now gone days without power and who was freezing-- even if they did go outside in the freezing cold to turn off their pipes, they could not warm up indoors. At this point basically, everything was closed. What did people do if they didn't go grocery shopping before? What is happening to the people who couldn't afford groceries or the kids who rely on school lunch for most of their meals? I thought a lot about children and the psychological impacts of living through a traumatic year. I watched as this pipe issue destroyed many homes and thought about how I would financially recover if the same destruction happened to me? How could those who had now gone close to a week without working who depend on every single paycheck afford it if the same were to happen to their homes? To me, the snowstorm was full of tragedy. Again, being locked in a place and having to face grief and emotions that are easier to escape through distraction. It was full of concern, anxiety, and worry for those who have no control over their environment but were now being marginalized further. I felt angry watching those in office, those responsible for ensuring that our state can handle these situations evade accountability and even escape their responsibilities by trying to avoid the suffering their constituents were facing.
I feel like this event gave many people a glimpse at what it's like to experience the concerns that marginalized communities face every day: when am I going to get my next meal? how am I going to afford this unexpected expense? When will I have power again? When will I have wifi?
