Fall into Winter

This is the view I woke up to this morning. I have officially experienced the effects of living in the north land! I remember as a child living in Vermont that I felt enormously blessed if it didn't snow before Halloween. There was nothing like working several months on a costume only to have it destroyed in the snow or freeze while wearing it.

Fortunately for the kiddies (and those young at heart) an Indian Summer is being forecast, which means temperatures in the 60s and perhaps higher for Halloween and the days following.

This is one of the things about nature that I absolutely love. She always keeps you on your toes and makes you remember that nothing about Her can be left for granted. She is much much bigger than me or you or any one person and for that reason, She should be respected. She is our mother and our keeper. She blesses us with life, food and shelter. She also takes it all away, sometimes in an instant. I believe this is one of the important lessons the autumn season teaches us. A lesson that is important to meditate on.

Learn about Life and Save the World!

I recently discovered this free online-encyclopedia while doing research for my artwork. It is called The Encyclopedia of Life and is a continually updated database of information on all the living beings on the planet. It is a fascinating project and a great way to learn about the planet we live on and all the creatures that live on it.

I believe the more we know about the living creatures we share living space with the harder it is to continue to allow the decimation of plants, animals, and people to continue. Take a moment to take a look and explore the fascinating creatures that want to continue to live with us. Share the link with your friends!
