Today we celebrate Earth Day.
I think of my late husband Errol.
And note the arrival of the California poppies in our town, as well as the beginnning of the Great Migration of the Swedish Moose, as seen on Swedish TV @ svt.se.
I read in the Washington Post that Earth Day may bring some good and long overdue news about providing protection for America's oldest and biggest trees. Everyone was commenting anonymously, so I will leave it at that. Except to say I'm surprised this protection does not already exist.
Driving through town, I saw poppies in the fields and decided to dedicate some pictures I took many years ago to the memory of my much loved husband, Errol, who passed away on this date, seven years ago.
Errol, who always brought me flowers for no special reason. I think he would love to be remembered this way.
Or perhaps to be remembered with a beautiful mountain view.
I miss you, Errol, but life goes on, as it must.
So I'm posting this note on my blog and I will think of you with love today.
I will think of the earth, as well. And the trees, those ancient ones, the ones who live here with me, old also. And all the rest of them.
I'm becoming more and more interested in trees.

Joshua tree from the year of the poppy superbloom. The orange fields behind are all poppies. It was an amazing experince to see hillsides and fields, upon hillsides and fields, all covered in orange flowers. I will never forget it.
Happy Earth Day!
