Lovely photos and an equally lovely anecdote about rewilding and bees help to counterbalance the somber truths in the numerous climate change ‘impact’ articles you referenced. My optimism is often tested by the uncomfortable feeling that the tipping point is already here and the 6th great extinction is a given at this point. But I see no upside in yielding my optimism and accepting the bad news as inevitable. Hence let’s continue this journey, recognizing the beauty all around us, supporting each other when needs arise, and helping to be the change we all so badly need.
One of the things I like about the 52-day challenge is that I relive the beautiful walks I made and the many good memories I have of this year. Searching for the white trilliums is one of them.

Hi Mike, I wrote a reply earlier, but now I see it's not here. I just wanted to say that I agree with every word you wrote!
Bumblebee hope. I like it! Ah the white trillium of Ottawa and an adorable ground squirrel. Life is good.

The hiking path last photo reminds me of your routines to look at the bad while enjoying what we still have. I love that scenario.
Thank you. In an ideal world, I would look at all the good, including what we have, but the present approach is the next best thing.
