After the driest summer in my state since records began in the 1800s, the native asters are in glorious bloom. Pollinators galore! #native plants #gardening

For you. The scent of this viburnum is lovely. So nice to enjoy it briefly each spring.

Dear rest of the world, the USA is going through some things right now, but please stand by while We the People sort out this mess. The Dear Leader is a madman!

Spending time in Nature helps to regulate your stress hormones. Especially near water, negative ions are highly concentrated in the atmosphere. They stimulate serotonin production which elevates your Mood

The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor.

Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

Conservation matters:

Have you been watching the Big Bears Bald eagle live nest (like so many of us)?

Just a reminder of the critical role that FWS and the Endangered Species Act played in the recovery of the bald eagle:

The Revolution will not be social mediaized.

People are not going to just get riled up by social media and head out.

Instead...

Something is going to happen... somewhere... at some point... and everyone's brains are just going to "click". And then, it's in the streets.
I know people are upset that we’re not having massive protests in the U.S.

But folks are scared of what the orange fascist will do.

They’re scared of agitators who will ruin it for the rest of us.

They’re scared of him invoking martial law.

Rear view of a fox visiting my New Hampshire (USA) yard yesterday. Kept pouncing on the deep native ground cover and native goldenrod stalks hoping for a rabbit. Good effort.
