I dream of collaborating with a team of professionals to do something with unused parking lots. I wanna call it something like "Un-Pave Paradise". Team: lot owner, asphalt company, landscape company, landscape architect, etc. I want to cut designs into the pavement, and plant native gardens.

Exactly this.
The Irwins are why I started Crawlies. My (out of print) Crawlies book is dedicated to Steve & my copy is signed by Terri, Bindi & Robert.
Terri is also a HUGE inspiration for me.
Sometimes it is 100% okay to meet your heroes! If they're the Irwins.
Paying it forward! #becurious

Love Blue jays.
This capture, simply breathtaking.
Deepens my humility and commitment to advocate for all nature.
Deserving of more peanuts.

Another incredible photographer here on Bluesky, what a treat. Captures of nature and immersing myself in her sublime beauty are what help me revive, energize, and thrive. Thank you, artists of all genres for sharing your visions!
Autumn hikes are my favourite 🍂

Good morning Bluesky!
Happy Sunday to all of you!
Today I’m grateful for color in our brilliant world. Having relatives who were colorblind, as some of you may be, I realize what a wonder and a blessing it is to have color vision. And imagine — many animals see an even greater range. 💛🧡

Even though not a native plant to my continent, taking in some Macro Lily is food for my soul. Plant magic.

NATURE SLIPS
Politicians fail us every day they don’t put nature first.
Nothing is worth it to risk the lives of billions of animals, humans & plants for.
It’s time to give politicians an ultimatum, either they act for people & planet, or we have no use for them.
Time’s up!

My next-door neighbor had his tree "trimmed." Ugh. It should be illegal to do this to a tree.

GOOD MORNING 🌏🌎🌍
No one gets everything right.
We all need to #rethink a lot.
But every attempt at change for people & #planet is better than more of the same corruption, destruction & exploitation.
Let’s be thinkers not parrots.
Let’s be bold.
Let’s find each other & work together.
