Happy Earth Day, maybe like the professional jokester who takes April Fool's Day off we wilderness users don't really need to acknowledge today but I hope we do.
My daughter is telling me we've got to go down to the river to cut some blackberry vines for her walking sticks [insect type not our kind] so peace and happy earth day.

Nice gesture. My glass is raised.

Yes, perhaps the world is finally waking up to the issues we face. I'm cautiously hopeful, though not yet optimistic.

I took a nice run through a Saguaro cactus forest today, slower than usual, so I could see the huge numbers of flower buds emerging from the cactus. They'll be in full bloom in a couple of weeks.

Happy Earth Day to all, human and otherwise.........
