I wince and my heart hurts whenever people post their immaculate Fall yard cleanup. They don't know they're throwing away living creatures.

So, who’s in those yard waste bags? 👀

🐛 Moths
🦋 Butterflies
💡 Fireflies
🦎 Salamanders
🐝 Native Bees

A new study shows that when you dispose of your leaves, you’re also throwing away about 45% of your spring butterfly and moth populations. 📉

Alfriston in East Sussex was once the centre of smuggling along the south coast.

It's believed that many of the local ghost stories that abound were conjured up by smuggling gangs to protect their contraband from any potential snooping eyes.

I'm just thinking of the fans from all over the world that usually descend on the World Cup. They won't come. Maybe some of the teams won't, either.

The world's reflection stares back at me as I daydream by the lakeside. As above, so below, and so it goes in the world I know. The perfect day may never come, but in this moment, im as close as they come. The clouds all glow in amber hues, above the trees and amidst the blues!

Here's one for the love of #Trees and for the #ClassicMono fans!

An upward view, taking in the grandeur of the forest canopy. Sunlight shines in sharp shards, its beams cutting fast through the spaces in between. Standing in the shadow of these gentle souls brings a powerful peace over one's mind.

Sunset comes with its golden hour, washing the world with the days last light. The saturated sand mirrors the sky's beauty back upward, as if to return to the heavens even a small piece of the love it shines down on us. The silhouetted treeline sits as silent witness to dusk's delightful dance, as waves of pure sunshine cascade over the coastline.
