MAKING WAVES

HEY FRIENDS, Ron S. posted the following description of yesterday's bird photo:  The Green Heron (Butorides virescens) is a small heron of North and Central America. It was long considered conspecific with its sister species the Striated Heron (Butorides striata), and together they were called "Green-backed Heron". Birds of the nominate subspecies (no matter which taxonomic arrangement is preferred) are extremely rare vagrants to western Europe; individuals from the Pacific coast of North America may similarly stray as far as Hawaii

Thanks, Ron!

Today's photo is again from Vero Beach ... almost all the east coast of Florida is feeling the  effects of hurricanes out in the Atlantic... waves and riptides plague the coast line.

If storms can have such a powerful effect on nature, how are our lives effecting those around us? Do people want to get out of our way, because of our destructive behavior? Or are people's lives improved just by knowing us?
