The Boomer obsession with the featureless, lifeless lawn sprayed liberally with RoundUp is one of the key culprits decimating butterfly populations. Everyone can help by buying milkweed and hollyhock seed and putting it everywhere- every lawn you pass, every lot, public or private. #environment

The wealthy who own property on the Florida coast are the same people who voted for these cuts. Their fanatical desire for lower taxes at all costs won't help when the next hurricane rips away the shoreline and drowns their homes. #environment

My biggest personal Blender project so far (I’m still an amateur). Only assets I used for this one are the characters, everything else is modelled, shaded, UV mapped, animated, etc by me. It was a lot of work and I learned a lot on the way. Enjoy and don’t forget to turn the sound on

Sorry for lack of posting for a few days, had field work (surprising, I know!) and so I made the most of a few days to study the Earth, leaving my computer at home.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled #MarshMadness ! It is now day 13! Enjoy this pretty marsh landscape on the edge of a forest from the southern US.
There is so much beauty here, so much life to protect, where the EPA is weakened let's get our states to step up! Nature access is bipartisan, everyone wants to partake, so make sure to be contacting even your republican reps on these issues. The only ones who want to destroy it are the billionaires.
I’ve painted birds in my Perpetual Journal so many times recently that I started a blog mini-series entitled All About Birds. Here’s my latest blog post, the 1st in that series:

A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.
Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.
Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.
We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.
