One may not like this, but it is true: Instead of taking vacations with polluting cars and planes, it is far wiser — and much more compassionate for nature’s sake — to stay local and not pollute.

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Well said. Great close up too.
Makes sense – and with today’s economy, most people can’t afford to go away anyway.
I like the little insect and intricate patterns on his back 🙂
I am still finding fun places to visit locally. 🙂 Great macro capture, Tom!
you are completely right with this, Thomas
Thanks everyone! We can all do better, including myself. I fly two lined stunt kites as one of my hobbies… and I can see the difference in the winds over the years; they are getting more and more intense and violent. I follow a couple of blogs by environmentalists… and it’s a shame regarding how few “likes” they get. More people need to be concerned about the environment. Just a few days ago, a top environmental scientist on CNN said that we have only around a year or so to “get things right.”
We are very concerned about the environment in general in Germany and our family tries very hard to take care for the environment a lot, as much as possible. But in Greece for instance they always give plastic bags for free which leeds to a pollution in the environment etc. Sometimes it breaks my heart to see the beauty of my Greek island being polluted by old refrigerators etc. and plastic all over. Hope they wake up soonest possible. Regards Mitza
