.
From the rich and verdant greens
To bare rocks and mountain tops,
Waterless rivers with exposed beds
To those in flood, with banks of mud,
Infertile sand where naught will grow,
Deserts dry and baked by heat
Where the wind creates its art,
Grasslands and bushes of scrub,
Lakes and seas, reflecting
The breeze, a thousand trees
And animals galore with birds
And fish to complete the scene,
Flowers of every shape and hue,
Strong or delicate to touch or view,
Our earth is God’s garden,
Unequalled and unrivalled by man,
Original, unique and diverse
As only He can devise,
We have to maintain and sustain
This unequivocal treat for our eyes.

These words were just discussed in this blog. Someone is cutting the redwood trees in California.

There are a lot ignorant people out there, SHO, and it’s not so easy to get through to them that money isn’t the be-all and end-all that they think it is.

Good for you SHO! This world, our world, has become so mercenary and selfish. Our descendants will blame us for all our shortcomings relating to nature and animals in the wild.

Yes, I marvel at the way everything is connected in some or other way and all affect each other.
