My Float Space

One year ago today, you crossed the rainbow bridge. And I still miss you.

My teary-eyed gratitude to popular mural artist Goodloe Byron for his original painting of my recently dearly departed Jack Russell Terrier, Tiki. Its whimsical energy brings me a smile at his memory. 🐾

Such a path could only be traveled by one... sensitive to the landmarks of a trackless wilderness. -Thomas Merton The wild Adirondacks in autumn, a riot of warm colors blanket the mountain ledges above this icy-cold lake, which from our stone-perch vantage point, seemed endless.

If beautiful mountains inspire you, I invite you to visit my website's Adirondack Mountains & Collections Portfolio!

🌊🐢 **Turtle Power: Our Armor-Clad Allies** 🐢🌊

As the sun casts its golden rays upon the earth, let us not forget the silent voyagers of the blue - our ancient friends, the turtles. This World Turtle Day, let's dive deep into the importance of these magnificent creatures and their role in the tapestry of life.

Turtles, with their bony carapaces and wise eyes, have been navigating the waters and lands long before us. They are the custodians of marine health, the gardeners of our seabeds, and the storytellers of our planet's history.

Yet, they face threats from all fronts - from plastic pollution to habitat destruction. It's our duty to shield them as they have the earth, ensuring their tales continue for eons to come.

Join us in celebrating World Turtle Day by learning, sharing, and taking action. Let's create ripples of change that will turn into waves of conservation for our shelled companions.

📚 Learn about their plight.

🔄 Share their stories.

🛠 Take action to protect their habitats.

Together, we can ensure that turtles continue to thrive, not just survive. Let's make every day a World Turtle Day.

The Raven

Life In A Water Town

Idee Montijo, explorer photographer, takes you to the floating city of Belen where the Amazon River's annual floods drowns the streets.

What's life like for people living along the Amazon River in a town known as the Venice of South America? I invite you to visit my short travelogue of my time in Peru during the monsoon season.
