Water

A drop  of Water Picture credit: José Manuel Suarez   The absence from this obviously addictive pleasure, has left me with a great deal of time to ponder what the subject of the first posting here would be, after being cleared by my Doctor to resume a somewhat normal life.

Lagoon Lunacy?

A bottlenose dolphin in Florida waters Picture credit: NOAA   On our news this morning was a brief story about the suspected cause of all the recent bottlenose dolphin deaths along the Atlantic Coast, including our own Indian River Lagoon.

Who Cares If It’s Endangered Species Day?

One of our Florida green treefrogs   So there you are, thinking, not another ” special day. ” I don’t even get a day off of work for it, so why should I care? But you should care, do you know why?

Global Guinea Pigs~

A Guinea Pig Stable   If right now,  I asked you what the most important thing is, that you should or could do, to protect yourself and those you love, including your pets, from harm, you would probably come up with some pretty good answers, but more than likely, you would be well short of coming […]

Pollinators and Pesticides
