What To do for Nat’l Tree Day?
Well, the first thing I’m going to do is proclaim it to be National Tree Week! Because a single day just isn’t enough. This post about one of the coolest days all year was going to come out this morning, but I’m up to… Continue Reading “What To do for Nat’l Tree Day?”
Ghost Forests Haunting our Coast
I’m willing to bet the farm that you’ve never heard the term “Ghost Forest”. Until last week, I hadn’t either. Rising sea levels all along the Atlantic Sea Basin are wreaking havoc with many forests all up and down the East Coast. The dying… Continue Reading “Ghost Forests Haunting our Coast”
Two Butterflies and Four Years
It was four years ago that I happened upon a sizeable flutter of butterflies at Moss Park in SE Orlando. I had about a 30 minute opportunity to capture a few of them and I was very pleased with the results. We went back… Continue Reading “Two Butterflies and Four Years”

As with any crime, any bad act, sometimes the offender… Continue Reading “Not Littering but Environmental Crime”
The Environmental File: another troubling sign
Climate scientists are doing great work, trying to get ahead of some of the many problems we’re facing as the damage we’ve done to the Earth becomes more and more apparent. The way rainfall is distributed around our planet is changing. And, as you… Continue Reading “The Environmental File: another troubling sign”
The Glaciers of Greenland are
The glaciers of Greenland are retreating at a frightening pace. One of the sad illusions to which many of us cling tightly is that humanity will eventually “get it” and we’ll get off our collective ass and finally act. That may or may not… Continue Reading “The Glaciers of Greenland are”
Some Good news for Grizzlies
Grizzly bears have been off limits to hunters for a while. But–sad to say–that changed recently and there were three seasons scheduled where these marvelous animals could be hunted down. They now have a reprieve and that’s a wonderful thing. It’s quite possible that… Continue Reading “Some Good news for Grizzlies”
