From Dark Thoughts to Bright Colors.


1. Sometimes I want to yell "Stop polluting, you idiots! You are ruining the earth!" But the greedy ones won't listen. They are blinded by their need for more, perhaps due to some insecurity about themselves that drives them to just keep amassing more riches. Pathetic old buzzards!

2. I am glad that young people are speaking up for the environment. Today millions of people, inspired by students, marched to make a statement against man-made climate change.

We live in a beautiful world, but much of nature is fragile. All living things are threatened by the greed and willful ignorance of people.

3. We just had a very hot summer. Other places endured horrible storms. Now we are dealing with drought in this part of Virginia. The rivers and ponds are lower than usual. What next? No one knows.


4. Well, I promised some bright colors. Here's a field at Blandy late in the afternoon.


5.  The nearby mountains have had rain and flowers are still blooming there.

6.  This afternoon I saw a hot air balloon over Berryville. Up up and away!

  7. Pollution is everywhere, and too few people seem to care. Dramatic black and white.
