Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-R Frost

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.
Snapshot of US EPA's "causes of climate change" webpage as of 12/8/2025. Human causes are no longer mentioned anywhere on the page.

Sunday morning web, fog and dew.
A path on the side of a field. Going in under a tree and the disapearing into the fog. A closeup on dew-covered spiderweb on a bridge over a small river. Fog over a small river. A dried up plant, covered in spiderweb and dew, on the edge of a field in fog.

Dahlia by night

One of the dahlias that didn’t make it to the garden this year. Cafe au lait.

A potted dahlia of the variety café au lait. A single, quite large, beige-ish flower. Photographed on my balcony at night.

It’s getting colder and darker, but the dahlias have finally decided it’s time to brighten our day.

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

I emptied an old pot that had been outside in the garden over winter. Ants!
