In Comfort of Crows @margaretrenkl.bsky.social describes a vernal pool:

“from the nearby path it looks as though someone has buried a large mirror in the sleeping woods…”

#WaterYear loves this time of year, with everyone talking about Marsh Madness (thanks to @neorsd.org for the pun).

One big difference is that with Marsh Madness, you really should avoid filling in pools

Today is #WorldWildlifeDay - a good time to celebrate that wildlife also includes swimmers, e.g., Irrawaddy Dolphin, from Mekong (Laos) in 2013 (dolphins now gone from Laos).

Rivers are also essential for wildlife that walks, for habitat & corridors (elephants along Zambezi)

On this day in 1968, Ohio became perhaps world’s first gov't to legislate system of protected rivers: Ohio Wild and Scenic Rivers Act preceded U.S. Wild & Scenic by 10 months. Little Miami River was first

Grand River was the second protected river

I love the boardwalk at @audubon.org Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in SW Florida. Such a great way to experience a range of wetland habitats and to see wildlife close up

With nearly two feet of snow on the ground and temperatures in single digits, it certainly feels like winter...these photos of sycamores and maples along the Chagrin River are from one month ago when Fall was lingering well into November...

“Water for the mill, wine for the stomach”

Spotted in a cafe in Milan. A more whimsical and constructive Italian version of the old adage “whiskeys for drinking and waters for fighting”.

#WaterYear

One of the most dramatic locations for a cafe I’ve ever seen (look at bottom of photo), just a few tables perched over the cliff above the Tanaro River (trib to Po) in Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy. Photo from medieval tower that stands over the town).

Monviso, the “Stone King” rises in the distance, vineyards of Barbaresco in foreground.

The Po, Italy’s longest river, starts at the base of Monviso. We’ll go visit some spots along the Po tomorrow.

First #WaterYear photo dedicated to water in the form of fog.

Italian word for fog is nebbia and here is a foggy vineyard of Nebbiolo grape near Barolo in the Langhe in Piedmont, Italy, so named because it’s harvested as fog becomes common in the region. Dramatically dreary and beautiful
