Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Pollinate


 Pollinate




Hope for the Ukrainians  💙














Digitally altered photos

Our pollinators are tiny but mighty. So much so that we couldn't exist without them ... and yet our farms spread pesticides with little concern for the damage they do, so our bee population is withering and even some of our butterflies populations are shrinking .  Man is his own worst Enemy and without an awareness and a commitment to change, we will all pay the price.

Thank you for this powerful, beautiful and truthful post.

Back again! You left me the most wonderful comment and I didn't have your email to reply personally but I just wanted to thank you. Yes, I will prevail on my MRSA fight! You mentioned the arboretum and I don't know if we're neighbors -- I live in Lansing, Michigan. What about you? Are we neighbors? I hope you have a wonderful week and thanks again for coming by!
