Happy Mary!
Tis the season for gift giving. I love Jeanine Benyus who founded The Biomimicry Institute asking: We've been given free land, fresh air, clean water and food. How do we return the favor? How do we return the favor? Ask the next tree or plant or animal you pass by on your daily walk. Pay close attention to our interconnectedness. The revolution under way is difficult, but it is a return to our roots. A return to seeing life as sacred, and that we are all interconnected

Marbleous!
I loved finding out about the Marbled Murrelet. Ram Papish painted this gem for me at Good Nature Publishing to make a small print and cards that highlight this beautiful keystone species of the Pacific Northwest old growth forest. And here is Ram Papish's beautiful painting of Pileated woodpeckers. Love this family scene Ram created in celebration of one my family's favorite birds. They were rare when I was a kid camping in the Adirondacks, but now I can even find them in

I love MIT Press newsletter sending me this gem of a story about conifers. The NW Native Conifers is beautiful art you can learn from, but a good book will take you deeper. And sitting with a cedar or your favorite Doug firs another way to learn about Mother Earth's many gifts.
