Beware the wooden horse!

I remain perplexed by some who continually remain oblivious to conditions that surround them. Environmental issues more and more are being ignored by large numbers of people.

Something must be done. I choose to find out more and write about it.

sr+ Give this some traction, the environmental issues are important!

Waste from plastic maker IPEX clogs Western North Carolina’s river artery nearly a year and a half after Hurricane Helene. What can be done to keep it from happening again?

No Pipe Dream on the French Broad

Pipe from IPEX's Asheville factory is still in the river 18 months after Hurricane Helene, with no indication the company will clean it up.

This is my 'other' Robin friend, Blackberry. He turned up as an inquisitive little fledgling last year & started following me around. He has now survived his first winter, got a full coat of adult feathers, a nice patch of territory & a girlfriend - and is an excellent singer

Scene 1 (of 3)

Over the next few days I’m going to post trailcam videos that took place within 25 minutes of each other to show how perilous some “close encounters” can be.

Up first - a big ol’ swaying bobcat butt working its way through deep snow. Unlike my last video, there were no prior tracks to step in.
