In 2025 the world has fallen short, again, of peaking and reducing its fossil fuel use. But there are many countries on a path to greener energy.

The Cascade Waterfall, Windsor Great Park

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforRock

#ColorADay #GreenSat
#EastCoastKin
A cascading waterfall flows over multiple tiers of dark, mossy rocks surrounded by lush greenery. Ferns and plants grow thickly at the base, and tall trees with vibrant green leaves arch overhead, filtering sunlight through the canopy. The water gathers in a small, calm pool at the bottom, creating a serene and picturesque woodland scene under a clear blue sky. This is the Cascade Waterfall in Windsor Great Park, a beautifully landscaped feature that adds to the park’s tranquil and natural charm. Windsor Great Park dates back over 900 years, originally serving as a royal hunting ground for William the Conqueror. Over time, it evolved into a grand landscaped parkland and today remains part of the Crown Estate, offering visitors a glimpse of its rich royal and natural heritage.

Morning 😊

Flux of light
Through ripples of time
Revealing interwoven memories
All that is precious
Joy of what can be

Perhaps this photo is not ideal, but the light filters through here beautifully some mornings.

#Australian First Peoples have survived here for at least 65,000 yrs.

They’ve lived through an ice age, volcanic eruptions, and shared the land with giant animals that no longer exist... Precious knowledge passed down thru 2,300 generations.

A few of my tawny frogmouth photos, taken over the years, in honour of this bird winning 2025 Australian bird of the year. These are much-loved birds. Whenever I share a photo of these, there is a huge response.
