A Strange Ring of Reality

As we end this week I wanted to share two quotes that I find kind of disturbing. The first was from the early 80's - a time when we didn't have a clue, or was not taught, about the effects we have on our environment. The second is just plain funny - although it has a strange ring of reality.

"We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?"
— Lee Iacocca,

"When President Chirac gave [President] Bush a souvenir statue of the Eiffel Tower... Bush said 'This is great! A little oil rig!' "
— Jay Leno

What Have We Done

What have we done to our environment? Here are a few of my favorite photos along with two timely quotes.

"For 200 years we've been conquering nature. Now we're beating it to death."
— Tom McMillan

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not."
— Dr. Seuss

Mother Earth

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. ~Native American Proverb





I'm digging into my achives, showing you the beauty of planet Earth.

Earth Day

What a week!
Didn't have too much time to take a lot of personal photos except for this past weekend. Boy, you know it's spring when we get weather like this - sunny one day, rain the next. Welcome to Mother Earth and her version of Earth Day.
I love taking photos in all kinds of weather. But I have to be honest that rain is my favorite. The quality of light and the subtle colors really make the photograph.
Here are two examples - one taken of Saturday, the other on Sunday.
