Rains make the ecology look green. Farmlands in the east are already green. Most of the crops grown look green like paddy, spinach, to name a few. The grasslands also look green. There is a new look once it rains. There is new fun...

I have a lot of house plants and here on my desk is a magenta-flowered pelargonium. For a few days I have noticed there seemed to be specks falling off it onto the table, but didn’t pay too much attention, until today I suddenly...

As you probably noticed by now, I’m interested in wildlife of all sorts and generally believe in letting things be, as much as possible.
Well, I’m currently in the process of renovating an old house, which has been taking a long...

I’m currently renovating an old property, and the other day I found this dead insect on the windowsill there.
It’s rather a fearsome-looking creature, over an inch long, and I’ve never seen anything like it before, and neither...

Today I was just walking across a field when I found a dead mole.
Just lying there on the grass.
It looked quite fresh and there was no sign of any injury or struggle.
It wasn’t decomposed at all or even smelly.
It even...

Have you ever noticed that there are few insects flying when it’s raining?
Obviously if you are a small fly and you are hit by a falling raindrop that’s going to have a big impact - literally! But where do they all go?
While in...

On Friday I joined a local conservation organisation to go on a ‘glow-worm walk’. I have never seen a glow-worm. I’m sure I remember my mother recalling seeing them when she was a child, but that was in the 1930s before cars or...

In our village there is increasing concern over the loss of local wildlife. A bunch of people got together and set up a ‘Wild About our Village’ group and so far they have fixed swift nest-boxes to the outside of the church,...

It's been over a year since cruise ships were allowed to sail. How do you feel about them starting up again? Do you think cities are better off without cruise ships? Do you think it has such a negative environmental impact? Venice...

The other day I stopped at a motorway service station - in the UK, on motorways there are no places to stop except these special ‘stations’ where you can buy food, use the toilets, get fuel etc. Mostly they are just a large...

Does anyone today carry a handkerchief for blowing noses and wiping hands dry? We still do in Japan, especially the "older ladies". When I first came nearly forty years ago, you needed your handkerchief to dry your hands. Now they...

This morning I was dead heading my dahlias in my front garden when a lady from up the road passed by with her Jack Russell. I often stop and talk to her and make a fuss of the dog and this morning, while we were talking, our bin...

Although I've only got a small garden I desperately wanted lupins but usually they're so tall and take up a lot of room but I managed to find some dwarf ones. This is the first one of the season and is a very pale yellow. They...

When I took my recent road trip to Iowa, I had a good time at a rest stop in Wyoming. There were prairie dogs who were quite used to humans, and I got some to take bread from my Subway sandwich right out of my hand.
Today, I went...

It takes tons of steel, plastic and copper to build a Wind Turbine. This either has to be mined or made from recycled material. Either way, it takes a lot of energy to produce. Add to that the fuel required to transport the...

I am not going to take a nap. I am not sleepy.
But I got into my bed because there my knees are not as painful. Cold is not good for my joints.
I turned on the TV and I zapped it until I got Nat Geo Channel. A man in Cuba was...
