However much of the native habitat is being destroyed so nature can not rejuvenate. Only some of it comes back. Too many people forget about the micro life which is the basis of it all.<br /> There I've made my rant . I am finished.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-89040385170689252302012-07-16T16:45:37.171-04:002012-07-16T16:45:37.171-04:00That moon takes my breath away, but I'm equall...That moon takes my breath away, but I'm equally impressed by the water--it is moving even when stilled.

We used to have clover all around our neighborhood when I was a kid, and it was always a vegetation companion (I think I just made up a term) when we played ball or other kid games. Hadn't really thought of it for years, but I always enjoyed it. And seeing it in your photo made me strongly for days gone by. Does that make sense? I think it does, but maybe not. In any case, nice photo.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-16816779203798991212012-07-16T12:12:34.279-04:002012-07-16T12:12:34.279-04:00Boy, you've been really busy with your camera....Boy, you've been really busy with your camera.
