Wilderness untamed & pure, touching every core of your being, unbridled power, furious gale force winds, churning clouds, horizontal sleet, bitter cold. I wouldn't have it any other way! Yukon, Canada.

The Trump administration is quite literally willing to poison Americans to save giant corporations money. Your kids get sick & oil CEOs get richer.
EPA says it will no longer consider health costs in pollution regulations
The EPA weakened emissions standards for new power plants and said it would no longer consider the economic impacts of public health in rule making.

Looking out at Padilla Bay for
#WaterWednesday
San Juan islands are out there beneath the clouds and in the foreground there is a small spit of rock and some pilings reflecting beneath the cloudy sky on smooth waters.

Pine trees reflected in the waters at Tarn Hows Cumbria. It feels as though it is time to escape again.

The clear water of Tarn Hows, served as a mirror for the pine trees along the waters edge.

Alan H has announced that his cohost Rob
has said “ today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongBeaks, The Alt theme is #Gulls, any Gull will do.”
Here is a long beaked Wood Stork photographed in Florida, US. American Flamingos and ?White Ibis are in the background.
A large prehistorically looking head with an enormous beak and the partial body and long legs of a wood stork is the prominent subject of this photo. In the background at the bottom are the tiny blurred forms of American Flamingos and White Ibis. They almost look like they could be on the menu for the stork. A viewing platform is in the upper left corner. This photo was taken at Gatorland, a theme park and wildlife preserve in Orlando Florida.

Not sure if this is a female or juvenile Red Crossbill but I am sure the theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #natural (any bird in its natural habitat). 🪶#birds

Good morning! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Feathers&Form. This photo I took a few days ago, shows a mix of three flocks -avocets, dowitchers, and gulls- on the move over the water. Some lovely patterns there!

A large grey heron perches on one leg at the local lake on the high school’s fish rearing ponds. It has a black shoulder patch and crest above the eyes. Plumes on the chest and back catch the light.
