My favorite is the Lioness. Which one will yours be?

Red Feather, Blue Feather

Red feather, blue feather
The secrets keep her awake at night.
Rock wolves surround the temple floor.
Black panther stands at the door.
  
 Monkeys scream,
 the birds take flight.
 Caves purge when bats alight.
 Another man will die tonight. 

I dreamt of a time and place I’ve never been to before. Palenque – Palenque, Mexico – Atlas Obscura

Creating Living Landscapes

This is a terrific presentation that really breaks down the complexities of our current biological diversity problems and what YOU can do to help. It is really worth the time to watch. If you’re pressed for time you can skip the first few minutes with the lady and at 1:10:00 the presentation is over by Dr. Tallamy and you can chose whether you want to listen to the Q &A. So you could call this a 1 hour lecture.

He also has a book called “Bringing Nature Home” I have shelves and shelves of environmental and gardening books but it appears this one got stuck on my “want list” and not actually purchased for reading. I shall go fix that.
