This blog is basically what it says, observations in Nature. I will be writing on natural events in my area, SW Georgia and what is going on with the Global Environment in general. Pictures will be used when necessary.
I hope you will come and visit often or subscirbe to receive updates. Join me as we go through the seasons, watch hawks and hummingbirds raise their young, and read the advwntures that come with living in the country.
Today it is very wet, rainy, and cold. The leaves are still in the process of changing colors. Some trees have not changed into the vibrant golds and oranges they usually do becaue of this strange warm and cold fluctuations we have had. Those trees either just dropped their leaves or they went straight to turning brown and dropping. There are a few trees that do have the pretty golds. I have been trying to get decent pictures of them for my Art Gallery but it has been cloudy for so long.
I live in the country surrounded by about 150 acres of wild land owned by neighbors. What luck, eh? I live the way everyone should be living. We are designed to live in Nature, not concrete jungles. Living in Nature is…well…in our nature.
We are designed to live with fresh air, clean water, space and boundaries. Every animal on the planet needs four basic things met for survival. Those are food, water, shelter, and space. We have many humans on our planet that do not even have one of these things and many more living without one or more. Sadly it says a lot about us humans as a society and species. We are doing the same to all the animals on this planet as well, by crowding them out.
Space is important. Overcrowding causes stress and anxiety which creates unhealthy environments, illness and violence as tension increases. See, I told you we were designed to live in nature, with trees and animals all around us.
The Natural world is what keeps us alive on this planet. All else is an illusion. We have been programmed to believe everything else in our lives is a necessity but when all else is said and done, it isn’t. Really, it is possible to live the rest of your life without a cell phone, Blackberry and IPod. Really.Our Natural environment is not designed to be some place you drive an hour to get to and visit for a couple of days a year. It is your home. It is where you come from (not the stork, lol). It is your ultimate Source. It is where your roots are. That is why so many people are so stressed and unhappy. They are far from home living in an artificial environment. Disconnected from their Source. This Source is where we get rejeuvenated, regenerated, and revitalized. This is why people take vacations backpacking or going to a park. Is that really enough though?
We humans need to find a way to live in and with Nature. It is meant to be part of our every day environment.
So, I will share my ideas on how to do this as much as you can and share my experiences sharing my life and my world with the Earth and its inhabitants. I will have even more information on my web site Earth Council .
For now, I am doing most of my observing from the inside looking out. What bit I have been outside I have neither heard nor seen anyone outside. They are most likely watching me wondering what in the world I am doing wandering around in this cold, wet weather.
