I acquired this lovely field a couple of weeks ago - although not the cattle currently living there. I'm planning to turn it into new woodland, but I need to jump through many hoops first to secure some grant funding. For now, you'll just have to imagine the trees 🌳.

Beautiful hike this weekend.
On the "busy" part of the hike (before people turn back due to snow) I saw a LOT of unprepared hikers.
One caught my eye though -- two hikers, together, in sneakers, both carrying only one object. Not in a pack, just by the trigger.
BEAR SPRAY.
Egad. Just frightening to think what they'd do if startled.

Twenty minutes of fireflies in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, near the famous Elkmont campground. The yellow sparkles are Photinus carolinus, the synchronous fireflies that have become a tourism sensation, and the greenish trails are the more enigmatic "blue ghost" Phausis reticulata.

Thousands of people marched on London streets for nature, but none of the mainstream media covered it in the UK.
No wonder why some fractions of protesters choose to spray cornflower-based colours on famous paintings and monuments. It helps them to get noticed.

A total of 350 environmental groups came together to pressure the government to act more robustly and decisively against the biodiversity crisis. Charities including the National Trust, the Wildlife Trusts, the RSPB and Friends of the Earth stood side by side with direct action groups such as Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion and Animal Rising.
I'll bet this isn't on the TV news this evening.

Lawns were something that wealthy people in the past used to ostentatiously show their wealth.
To maintain a rich green manicured lawn required a lot of resources. It wasn't to grow food for humans or livestock, so showed they were so wealthy they could afford to waste a lot.
Flash forward, and so many of us STILL imitate this, albeit on a small scale. Some will even judge others based on their lawn.
