¡Buenos días!

This Is What Climate Change Looks Like

There are two wildfires within smoke-drift of my home. One is contained, the other doubled in size in one day. Hundreds of people have had to evacuate, but so far no homes have been lost, so far as I know.

We have had very hot temperatures, minimal or no rain for weeks, and wind. We get lots of wind. Essentially, we have drought conditions. Also, because we are on an island, we have high humidity. If that all sounds contradictory to you, you are in good company. I don’t get it either. I had a heat pump technician explain it to my like I was five but I still didn’t understand.

Anyway, here is tonight’s sunset. And, if you get a chance, tell your local political representative that climate change is real, and it decimates forests, and it terrifies people, and it sometimes destroys homes. I don’t think they know this.

Also, I don’t know what happens to all the forest animals. Ask your politicians about that, too. Maybe they care about non-human animals.

Et ça continue ! Lutte contre les zigouilleurs toujours en action partout...

Enjoying the harvest while I can

More insects at the flowers today. Rattlesnake master doesn't have the prettiest flowers, but when it's blooming, it is highly visited by all kinds of nectar loving insects.

Five years ago yesterday, I went to Pine Point for the first time, chasing a sunset I’d heard other photographers rave about. As the tide receded, I spotted this dory on the Nonesuch River, perfectly mirrored in the shallow water. The sky lit up, the air was still, and the world felt peaceful."Sunset at Pine Point" is part of my limited edition series. #Photography #LandscapePhotography #FineArt #Sunset #Maine #CoastalPhotography #Seascape #Nature

Fascinating, a Panthea furcilla on the ceiling of the camp. Caterpillars feed on eastern larch, pines, and spruce.

A beautiful male monarch butterfly with fresh wings on a meadow blazing star earlier today. #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #photography #SaveTheMonarch #photographylovers #wildlifephotography

Dans un four solaire type boite, pas de cuisine croustillante.
L'été dernier, par grand soleil, 7h30 de cuisson pour des pseudo patates sautées, dorées mais molles, voire même caoutchouteuses pour certaines (recyclées dans l'omelette).
Remarque : elles étaient tout de même cuites au bout de 2h30, non colorées.

Belle surprise : Confiture de fenouil, oubliée dans le four et trop cuite = fenouil confit, délicieux en condiment dans cuisine salée-sucrée ou en pâtisserie.
