One of the things is to break stereotypes of what an environmentalist is. When I was growing up it was seen as weird, tree huggers.

So I bought these brassy word thingers at Wal-Mart over the weekend.
I have two others that go with this one that say "hope" and "joy".
My original plan was to hang them in my room,
then I thought about it - and I came up with a photography project.
It's going to be a little mini-series or little project called Peace, Hope, Joy.
I'm going to use these word things in as many creative ways as I can :]
Oh!
And HAPPY BOKEH WEDNESDAY!!! =D
For our third street drop we decided the street wouldn't quite cut it so decided on a more natural habitat for this one...
Suzy here is what most people would describe as a 'tree hugger' but although she's concerned with the environment at large it's this particular tree she likes to hug. It reminds her of happier times.
She and Roche carved their names into it as proof of their love for each other. She hasn't seen Roche in over 2 months. He went to the shop for a packet of wine gums and some rizla and she hasn't seen him since. Poor Suzy. Poor tree. Poor Roche?
Cheers

For Poetography group: This week the word is leaf or leaves.
"To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them — the whole leaf and root tribe."
~ Henry Ward Beecher
Two women came by, went up to this huge beautiful tree and hugged it.

Hello, my name is Christiaan, and I am a tree hugger.
(Oh, and also a coffee-drinker...)
This is my latest hug: I hugged our maple today! (seen in the background here!)
The mug, alas, is empty for now...

On the train from London, Ontario for the entire time of earth hour. The bottle of water is not mine and the computer is running on batteries.
This happened completely by accident, but the TreeHugger's claw ended up looking like the head of a moose...
First time this year, went on a bush walk. One of my great loves of life. Helps me clear my head of anxiety and lethargy.

Unidentified spider- Danum Valley, Malaysia
Not sure what species this spider is, I suspect I saw a few similar species, but they were commonly seen on treetrunks at night and occasionally during the day. I imagine that they rely on their camouflage to conceal them from predators and prey, one of these spiders would run to the far side of the trunk every time i attempted to photograph it, it persisted long enough that I gave up trying to get a shot.
If anyone has any ideas as to the ID I would really appreciate it!
Sometimes a place is so beautiful you just want to sit down, watch and forget about time.
Sometimes every part of your body hurts so much from hiking that you just want to sit down for a day.
Sometimes both happen at the same moment.
When everybody urged me to visit Nara, I feared a tourist trap. How much more wrong could I have been? This truly is a place of beauty and peace. I thank you all for suggesting it.

I am a #treehugger #sowhat ?
I'm not sure exactly how I got chaught up in building agricultural/country stuff. I do think the new Farm sets from TLC are quite nice though, and they add a whole new side to the good old Town theme.
An open letter to Santa Claus:
Dear Santy,
I have been a really good boy this year. Just ask my mum, she'll tell you.
I have been kind to small animals (apart from wasps and bees which doesn't count) and have helped an old person cross the street almost every day. Does it count if that old person happens to be yourself Santy? Because if it does then you might want to cross out this paragraph.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing to you Santy is [a] to wish you, the lovely Mrs Santy and all your little elves a very merry yuletide and [b] to ask for a load of pressies. List is as follows:
1 x toy drum kit
1 x pair of roller blades
1 x 100% cotton jumper
1 x box of seashell-shaped chocolates
1 x deep fat frier
An otter
That's about it I think. Oh, and world peace. If that helps me get all the presents I want (see above Santy).
Thankyou for taking the time to read this letter, I hope you don't mind reimbursing me the cost of postage but frankly living in Lapland in the back of beyond a million miles away from the rest of civilisation may not be a good idea in these days of the rising cost of everything. Maybe you should think about centralizing your operation, or franchising?
Like I said, thanks for reading. And if you don't deliver everything on my list be aware of one thing: I'll be waiting for you with a bottle of chloroform and a cloth, so if you don't make good with the pressies I'll knock you the hell out, steal your sack and chuck you out in the street.
Thanks Santy!
Lots of love n hugs n threats of meaningless violence,
Darren
Happy Christmas everyone! Have an awesome time :)

I did a photo session in order to add to my Peace, Hope, Joy series today, but I just couldn't decide between my two favorite pictures from the shoot. So you got two pictures instead :]
Anywayyy,
I thought this was fitting because I'm running out of hope that there is still some nice weather left in '08.
It's been nasty and rainy and yucky for way too long now.
And I know this is my second clothes-line picture within a short time period, but I liked it.
Oh, and HBW! Sorry there was no real bokeh wednesday shot today!
THE TREE HUGGER IN ME
When the world all around you is madness and stress
Your plans lay in ruins, your dreams are a mess
When your brain is lethargic and eyes just can't see
Take a moment in time, spread the love, hug a tree
Wrap your arms gently round , let your mind wander free
Forget all your worries, and the goodness you'll see
Mother nature your guardian as the Earth soothes your soul
Let the happiness flow, contemplation your goal
When The day is a lifetime filled with pain and frustration
Take a moment to halt all your procrastination
Take a walk, breathe fresh air, set your soul to fly free
Press your flesh to the bark, try embracing a tree
Place your face to the ripples and your feet to the roots
Give a smile, sighing deeply, here's the love, fill your boots
This life is so precious, and so fragile it's true
Take a moment to share, let the happiness through
This journey we make on a road full of turns
Leaves us battered, bewildered with a heart bruised that yearns
But cast off your chains and true freedom you'll see
Mark a moment in time, feel the love, hug a tree
Worldwide recession, poverty, war
Mankind the plague rapes the landscape, what for?
Greed fuels the rat race and peace shall not be
Giving oxygen, beauty and shelter, the trees
As we cut down the forests, wreaking havoc for cash
Religion betrayed by cold hearts in a flash
Mankind hell bent on destruction, yet she,
Mother earth shall eternally breathe through her trees
Mother Earth hold me, fill my head and my heart
Perspective to teach, new outlook, fresh start
The beauty and love that lays deep down in me
Set free in these magical moments with trees
Simplicity bathe me, karma deep down
My balance restored and normality found
Some will laugh at my actions, point their fingers at me
The last laugh is mine in my time spent with trees
When this life is a prison and your mind is a cell
Seek solace and comfort, release, break the spell
Find peace and tranquillity, there you will be
Contented and cleansed, go ahead, hug a tree

Photograph taken at 15:47pm on Friday July 26th 2013 off Fairview Lane at The High Rocks, in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.
High Rocks is a 3.2 hectare (7.9 acre) geological Special site of scientific interest, in East Sussex, England. The site was notified in 1986 under the Wildlife and Countryside act 1981 and is an important geomorphological site for sandstone weathering features
I have always loved trees, forests and woodlands and love to spend time photpgraphing their beauty. I am also partial to a bit of tree hugging to cleanse my soul. Go on, let a tree into your life once in a while, you'll feel all the better for it....

Day two of handing invitations. Although we went to many places, I’m too shy to take photos so, instead, here’s a photo of me petting a blossomed tree.
