Revisiting The World Is Still Beautiful (2014)

I’ve been in a bit of a mood to rewatch shows recently, and since I’ve had the time to do so I ran through both Bodacious Space Pirates[1] and The World Is Still Beautiful[2]. Much of what I had to…

Pirates of the Burley Griffin

Some beauties from today.

Spring is in full force and I am adoring all the widlflowers. Yes the sunlight was extremely green-yellow on the forest floor today. I decided I didn't want to do any "color correction" because, well, this is correct. I suggest peeking at the alt text for info.

You look like you could use an emotional support isopod.

Just created this photo, new species or a range extension, found during a walk in the woods today. Lirceus of some kind or another.

In Caring for Snails

For all that is wrong in the world, know that beauty still exists. People working every day to make it better. People who care. For all the environment destruction, there are people like us who care about even things like snails in the water, that many would not even notice. But everything is connected. To care about a snail is to care about the water quality. Is to care about climate change to make sure that creek doesn't run dry. It is caring about pollution not entering that watershed.

Little things are tied to the big things. Remember that. Even if the thread you can pull on or repair is small, it is entwined with the rest, and the world is better for your efforts.

Did you have success with a small help lately? Share it in the comments :)

I actually took pictures the other day. I've stopped taking my camera underground lately, saving space in my pack...I really should get back to taking proper photos.

Cold and frosty days just now, with beautiful blue skies.
I keep looking at the little things and enjoying them. Like:
The light through flower petals.
The ice in the puddles.
The way the frost interacts with the dead fern leaves we leave in the garden as sheltering spots for insects.

Biology work isn't always glamorous, but when it is...it *really* is!
