The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.

True! He's right, our president is a sexual predator, a pedophile, and a rapist!

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

A misty and frozen start to the day on our dog walk to Hayeswater flanked by the Knott and Grey Crag on either side. Blue sky and the remains of a wonderful mist and cloud inversion which sit on the tops of the mountains. Now this is a tarn and no longer a reservoir it's a great location for swimming in the warmer months to come.

Saturday wander and dog walk to Hayeswater(decommissioned as a reservoir in 2014) This is a mountain glacial tarn originally dammed in 1908 to supply drinking water to the Ullswater area in the #LakeDistrict. Cold frosty morning and some mist remains on the tops

Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

There is a single mute swan at a lagoon near here. I'm not sure if it's a male or female, but I just paid tribute to it in this recent painting.

A toad is face on to the camera. It is caught in the flash from a camera, so the background is dark and its features are fully-lit.

Just been out for the last dog walk and saw these two rather fine-looking chaps (or chapesses?) on the path. Went back out with the camera, turned on the flash, pointed, and hoped for the best. Came out better than I expected!

I have stopped feeding birds at present but my neglected, once pristine, garden now feeds them with fruit, seeds and invertebrates and my dead hedge, trees, scrub etc provides nesting sites..

unsure of her fate.. she was sitting on eggs in a nest perched on an island in a large pond near a rural country lane, in full view and reach of humans and fox. A fox unlikely to attack a mature swan though.. very sad! The cob stayed though, continuing to 'defend' the territory around the nest..

23 Warbler Species on Texas Migration Tour - The Naturalist Journeys Blog In April 2019, Naturalist Journeys traveled to the Texas coast for spring migration. On this Texas migration tour, we tallied 23 species of warblers!

Texas has a large warbler population. There is actually a warbler Sanctuary just 3 miles up the road at Canyon of the Eagles Nature Reserve.
