after the storm

saw this on weatherundergroound while looking about for info on the big winter storm headed our way today in new england - the photographer tagged this as taken last saturday in spain, where there was a monster winter storm. Discussion on the site about whether or not we can tell if global warming is in play here. Gotta go to work! (First shovel the car out!)

the beauty around us

saw this on boing boing - these are really marvelous photos using an ordinary camera and patience. Rick Lieder has a new book - saw samples on his blog cloudboxer.

a place to gather ideas

this will be a place to sort out ideas about the environment - from the garden in the back yard, to community supported agriculture to city and state environmental policies to Barack Obama's new wave of leadership, and of course, science and ideas about the global picture.

please join me in this exploration of ideas and solutions with your comments and contributions!
