Happy Earth Day

This beautiful orb that we live on never ceases to amaze me. No matter how hard we try to destroy it, it tries to resist any way it can. The above picture was taken about 2 years after after a major wildfire devastated everything in this particular area. The picture shows just one of the ways the earth continues to fight by regenerating itself. I love this world we live in that provides us with the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink and the beauty we see. I would like to think that it will be able to continue to provide these necessities for life for the generations following us. And if we can get all the countries in the world to participate in protecting the environment, maybe it can. I pray that we are not too late. Enjoy your weekend and stay healthy and Happy Earth Day!

Stairway to the bottom

This would, by many, not be considered a ‘stairway to heaven’ since it is attached to O’Shaughnessy Dam that blocked the Tuolumne River and created Hetch Hetchy reservoir and flooded the other ‘Yosemite Valley’ .

Dies würde von vielen nicht als “Treppe zum Himmel” angesehen werden, da es an den O’Shaughnessy-Staudamm angeschlossen ist, der den Tuolumne River blockierte und den Hetch Hetchy-Stausee schuf und das andere “Yosemite Valley” überflutete.

Herausgeputzt

Anke und ich waren heute mal wieder im Tierpark Essehof, der ganz in der Nähe liegt. Wir hatten Glück und die Pfauen waren in Balzstimmung und stolzierten mit ihren prächtigen Federkleidern umher. Immer wieder beeindruckend.
Anke and I were today once again in the zoo Essehof, which is located nearby. We were lucky and the peacocks were in courtship mood and strutted around with their magnificent plumage. Always impressive.
