The right-wingers are boycotting this music and that TV show, etc.
Eventually they'll only be able to listen to the sound of the #wind, #creeks, #birds. They'll only be able to watch the #trees, the #mountains, the #frolicking #deer. And then...
... they'll #realize...
... that they've turned into #woke #treehuggers and will go #insane at the thought.

The water-striders are out on the creeks now. I'm amazed by how fast they can move against the current. There are also clouds of midges (Chironomids) zooming around just above the water.

I know mallards are common,
but look at these guys.
They're really trying their best! They have the emerald-to-sapphire head with a white neck stripe and a curly black tail feather.
What's not to like?

Reading Independence Lost by Kathleen DuVal, which is a book about every single thing I didnโt know about the American Revolutionary War, including the underlined about smallpox outbreaks in the south.

Two waterfalls in Contra Costa County in the Bay Area, a place not generally known for its waterfalls.
First is in Donner Canyon on Mount Diablo, taken Monday. Accessible via the Falls Trail, a sometimes strenuous climb.
Second is on the Lafayette-Moraga Trail, one of the first RR right-of-ways to be converted to a pedestrian path. Taken during the huge AR storm on New Year's Eve, but it flows for much of the winter.

Not a lot of waterfalls in Contra Costa County, so you take what you can get.
First one is in Donner Canyon on Mount Diablo. Second is on the Lafayette-Moraga Trail, one of the first railroad right-of-ways to be converted to a pedestrian path. #WaterfallWednesday #BayArea #nature #trails #creeks

"There must be moments when Mother Nature, reviewing her accomplishments, wonders why she created man."
These are surprising words from a politics reporter writing in a growth-oriented newspaper in California, in 1947. Read on.

So the #Chesapeake Bay is such an interesting example of a #watershed in need of help. The pollution is so bad there that the EPA has it under a Total Maximum Daily Load or TMDL: https://www.epa.gov/chesapeake-bay-tmdl
From #Beaverland: "the Chesapeake is the largest watershed on the Atlantic seaboard, intersected by over a hundred #rivers and thousands of #creeks. And every drop of #rain that falls in the watershed...finds its way into the Chesapeake Bay.

I found Amanita Designs years ago when they were making awesome puzzle games for the web, mainly Machinarium, but their others too. Finally finished #Creeks last night. What a beautiful puzzle game. https://amanita-design.net/games/creaks.html
