A Love For Nature – A Love For Our Planet

Nature inspires much of my art!

The Daily Prompt nudged me into another hard-to-resist post.    “Photographers, artists, and poets: show us NATURE.”

A jaguar escorted me home one full-moon night!

I could post daily and never run out of thoughts, stories and images about nature! Every so often man literally bulldozes his way through nature, and my heart breaks with each tree that is needlessly destroyed.  Years ago I witnessed this when the old-growth trees were felled on a petite island that once belonged to my grandfather.   The owner, a close friend of our family,  left the island to a well-known conservation group, so that it would always be a wildlife haven.  The group quickly sold it, and the new owners toppled the timber like dominoes.

From the Deck, A Bird List

Ecuador, Ecuador Bird List. Birding, frigate, kingfisher, pelican

A birding friend recently asked, “How many birds can you see from your front door?”

I retrieved my modest scribblings and began to count.  Though not taken from the vantage point of the door,  this list documents birds seen from the deck that faces the river.
