With My Lifelong Love of Nature - Every Day Is Earth Day

My "Avatar" or Identifying Icon - A Crochet Tapestry of Nature on Earth!


So-o-o .............. It's Earth Day!!

Well, I'll tell you - it sure is glad to see that there is Worldwide acknowledgement of the need for support of an "environmental movement" on our planet!

But for me - well!  It is ALWAYS ON MY MIND!!

Yes - we need to take care of our environment - to learn to take it into consideration in all our daily activities - at Home, at Work, at Play.

I LOVE the Nature on this planet - from Pets and Plants at Home - to Trees everywhere - to Mountains, Valleys, Seas, Lakes, Rivers, Fields ..... !

One of the reasons I chose the place I live right now is that I can walk outside and Be In Nature - all I have to do is walk out, walk off the porch and starting walking around under Trees and by Bushes, watch the Birds (lots of Ravens live here) - not as great as being in Wilderness - but good enough for "instant Nature"!

I try to live "Green" - Green Commute, Green Economy, Conservation of Water, Energy - Recycling, Re-using - it is a way of LIFE for me!

And I show it in my Arts and Crafts - Photography, Crochet Tapestry, Filet Crochet, Knitting Intarsia -- and here are a few examples of how I Celebrate Nature on Earth!!!





From Giant Sequoias in the Sierra Nevada .......



....To the Bird Feeder with Birds in a Tree outside an apartment I lived in .....








...... to a Scene on a back road in the Santa Monica Mountains ......









.... to fields I walked through in the Antelope Valley!!








..... to making a "Tree Tapestry" Pillow - every stitch my own .....
















.... to crocheting in Fine Threads the type of Mountain Cabin scene I love ......








.... to figuring out how to crochet a Bouquet in a Vase, so it looked like the Cabbage Roses I saw on a Walk!!







To a little thing like this Key Chain with Irish Crochet Roses and Leaves!


Well, I have the Nature on Earth Every Day in my life, because I want to - and I share it with others!  Do You???
