They are looking across the pond for enablement and alarmingly it has some traction. We need a more radical alternative. Labour has been too equivocal. Where are we as a society?

That however is nothing to what we need to do to help stop climate change. We need to consider how our lifestyles are propped up by the misery of others and act.16 Dec 2024 11:15 +0000at://did:plc:t32jham5jspcdxuhdho62aoc/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldg7afja5s26https://bsky.app/profile/gray710.bsky.social/post/3ldewmkxlts2sDense juvenile trees in Epping Forest. With leaf fall comes an awareness of the depth of the place. A feeling of enclosure but distance all at once. It's easier to spot the wild deer which we did a few times today. #eppingforest #leaffall #autumn #trees #forestwalks #naturephotography15 Dec 2024 23:08 +0000at://did:plc:t32jham5jspcdxuhdho62aoc/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldewmkxlts2shttps://bsky.app/profile/gray710.bsky.social/post/3lbxktqzmbc2wAnother one taken from the rear cab of a moving train on my phone camera as we crossed a bridge. There had been rain and the road markings gleamed. On an otherwise empty street the couple just happened to be walking through a pool of light. #b&wphotography #streetlife #fromamovingtrain27 Nov 2024 22:08 +0000at://did:plc:t32jham5jspcdxuhdho62aoc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbxktqzmbc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/gray710.bsky.social/post/3lbcddsxyr22qSometimes a grey, damp day can look quite beautiful. A squint of the eye is sometimes just enough to see through the murk and the mist.

I won't miss the crazy early starts but the views I've sometimes had from the cab have been extraordinary. Alas, I can't take photo's from there but I get to travel rear cab home sometimes and my unwind times have been special.18 Nov 2024 12:24 +0000at://did:plc:t32jham5jspcdxuhdho62aoc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb7vz3cuyk25https://bsky.app/profile/gray710.bsky.social/post/3lb6fakq7hs23Autumn in the forest.

The only blue bird I've engaged with since was this fledged blue tit last spring. I placed it safely away from cats and its parent soon came to feed it.

We've a soft spot for this one though as she's super friendly and has an ear that looks like Halkidiki when she's upside-down!14 Nov 2024 21:22 +0000at://did:plc:t32jham5jspcdxuhdho62aoc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lawsaqmlzc27
