Blog Action Day

Thanks to Maggie's suggestion, I quickly jumped on with Blog Action Day to write something about the environment. But the question then became, what should I write about? With over 16,000 blogs all writing about the environment what could I possibly add to the conversation. So I've decided to write about how much I love the environment and landscape that we call home. And I've decided to do it in the only way that I really know how - through the power of haiku's. So here is how my Blog Action Day post will be organized. I've decided to take some of my favorite pictures, which I feel represent a wide range of the environment, and try to write some very introspective and thoughtful haiku's about how I felt when those pictures were taken. Here we go, the picture is followed by the haiku.




sun peaks through dense trees
a morning breeze rustles leaves
the stir wakes me up




lungs burn from steep climb
but stillness reminds you that
now you feel alive



quiet hike broken
as the powerful spring thaw
takes your breath away



you're above the clouds
looking down you feel so small
your role uncertain

Haha, haiku's are good times. Really, for Blog Action Day I'll try to make some more changes in my house to cut back. It seems like a good occasion to think about those kinds of things. I'll be taking many suggestions from this top notch blog. I think the 3 of us do pretty good, but we're ready to step it up. Hell, one of my roommates already faced off against racism. Well not in this particular race, but that statement required a link.
