oldguy52 - resist, live, love<p>Feeling strung out this morning from the torrent of hatred, cruelty, misogyny unleashed this week by our 'christian' administration. This administration is anything but ...</p><p>Will try to keep some joy in hikes and volunteering at the Nature Sanctuary. This photo is an After of the wisteria work area - a 13mm iPhone photo reprocessed in Darktable. When we started, this was a desert - only vines that you could not see through. Those vines topped all of the trees in the area. There were no birds, no deer - it was silent. We found a wetland nobody knew about off to the left, and the far right has recovered to a typical understory. It will take years to plant trees and work to keep the wisteria down while it recovers. Birds have returned, and sing to us as we work. A group of 7 Whitetail deer wandered by. The area has been claimed as a nesting site by a Red-Tailed Hawk = success.</p><p>We are proud of this result.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/VolunteerWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VolunteerWork</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/WisteriaRemoval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WisteriaRemoval</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SuccessionRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SuccessionRecovery</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/13mm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>13mm</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a></p>
