Removal of NEPA destroys almost all environment protections in the United States. If you were worried they will destroy the National Parks for profit, rest assured this is the first step. By removing NEPA, they *will be able to*. Easily.

We have only six more days to comment about the looming removal of NEPA: National Environmental Policy Act. This act was a simple yet very effective framework for protecting our environment and has far and wide reaching positive effects. It is often called the "Magna Carta" of our environment laws. NEPA was one of the first laws ever written that establishes the broad national framework for protecting our environment. For example, sewage treatment to ensure clean water is a direct result from NEPA. It was signed into law by Nixon, and has enjoyed bipartisan support.

16/03/2025 - Afternoon walk on the quiet roads. It was a bit overcast but didn't rain. Just taking it easy this weekend as my foot's not great at the moment. A few new wild flowers for spring.

Broom - Just great to see a bit of yellow on the Broom.
Ivy-leaved Speedwell - I love these tiny flowers.
Colt's-foot - They were looking sleepy still.

Drôme-Ragwurz und Fliegen-Ragwurz hybridisieren an Standorten mit gemeinsamen Vorkommen recht leicht. Das Ergebnis ist dann eine hohe, schlanke pflanze mit den Merkmalen beider Elternteile. Hier sind sowohl Fliegen-Ragwurz (links), Drôme-Ragwurz als auch die Hybride (Mitte) zusammen zu sehen.

Im März schafft es die Sonne bei mir im Wald nur selten, sichtbar unterzugehen. Meist sind vorher schon blöde Schleierwolken aufgezogen. Wenn es mal funktioniert und die Schlüsselblumen günstig stehen und zur richtigen Seite schauen und der Wald nicht gerade wieder durchforstet wurde und überall Geäst rumliegt, dann - ja dann gelingt mal ein Foto wie dieses. Also alle zehn Jahre oder so.
