Many of these were taken 2 weeks ago in Indiana with my Samsung tablet. The trash is a reminder, and the last one was from California in Muir Woods.

P. 1 I guess there can be beauty even with these fires.

Thanks all for sharing your Earth Week finds. ❗️👍👍👍❗️ I’ve enjoyed viewing them all. I took a walk to our mail box yesterday and found this growing in a neighbor’s planting area. Ok, I missed this for the Purple challenge, but hey, it’s growing in good earth, and the challenge is Earth Week🤠❗️❗️

Another couple of images:
One of the most polluted rivers that I've ever seen in all my travels, the Tiete River, Sao Paulo, Brazil - July 2015 - Sony NEX-3N, 16-50mm
Not far behind was the Moskva River, in Moscow, Russia - April 1994 - Minolta XG-M, 50mm

I really love that first shot!
The set of pics above it—
The first picture is just sad. The Shelter sign brings back a lot of memories. And the car doesn’t look that old. 🤔

The first 3 pics are from around the block.
There’s a little flying bug in the second pic and he is just hovering there…you can see the shadow of his little antennas on the one petal.
The last pic is just a spot at my happy place at the beach. 😊💗

p.10 Such beauty, Ducky - especially the grasses in early AM or sunset.

I've really enjoyed all your posts on P. 10. I think of mans' footprints on this earth when I see the footprints in the stand. You've shown nature's damage but also how we can enjoy and help save what we have in your other posts.
Thank you, Leek

Rust is everywhere and in varied stages of decomposing. Balance that with the exuberance of people enjoying what nature provides. And a childhood memory.

Life/nature/earth continues on but I become hopeful that it all doesn't eventually come to an end.

P. 11 Looks like smog too. I was in Cairo in 2013. It was smoggy there back then.
