Silent Spring

If you logged on to "Google" today,

you would have seen a tribute.

Today is the anniversary of the birthday

of Rachel Louise Carson.

As an environmentalist, she documented 

the detrimental effects of commercial pesticides

on the environment; particularly birds, as early as 1940.

In 1950 she turned her attention to conservation, and the 

problems caused by synthetic pesticides.

Her book  Silent Spring  led to a nationwide ban on DDT,

and inspired an environmental movement that led to the creation 

of the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Her efforts allow me the pleasure of

 observing the Bluebirds that 

visit the little house every Spring.

They are simply spectacular!

Birthday Love to her!

Wild and Free

Traveling through the local neighborhoods

I've marveled at the beauty 

that only 

A wild Dogwood 

shares.

Spring

It always amazes me.

Deep within the forests and woodlands

during the deep, cold Winter months that have just passed,

there is an  abundance of color and fragrance

just waiting to burst and surprise us.

How I Love May!

My Lucky Day

Yay!
I'm in Milwaukee!

Enjoying a Mother's Day weekend

with my little rolling stone.

The flowers are starting to bloom, 

Lake Michigan is ice free,

the new bicycle is all tuned up,

 the city is calling!

TGIF! 

With love and hugs.

Lucky 7

Anyone lucky enough 

to be born 

on this date, 

in such a beautiful month,

must be one

extraordinary soul.

Happy Birthday, Rich Fieldhouse!

Shadows

"We are shaped by our thoughts;

we become what we think.

When the mind is pure,

joy follows like a shadow 

that never leaves."
