Location: Next to the driveway entrance, Kiwanis Lynn Manor.
Please note that, to you, the video may seem out of focus. I am videographing the middle space, between the camera lens and the flower, to look for the plant pollinators and their predators. Those guys are very small and very fast. There are two photograph albums linked below that are in better focus.

You know that I delve deeply into dark subjects.  I do maintain my perspective by looking in the light and all of the beauty around us.

The Dark Days To Come

It is important for me to let you know that I also look at the beautiful, brighter, lighter, sunnier side; and maintain a realistic sense of balance and perspective.

Four of my other previous favourites are:

It was getting dark and I was hoping to catch some of the night pollinators: ants, bats, moths etc. and I did not want bright light to scare them away.
* Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, a trait known as volatility. For example, formaldehyde, which evaporates from paint and releases from materials like quartz, has a boiling point of only –19 °C (–2 °F).
VOCs are numerous, varied, and ubiquitous. They include both human-made and naturally occurring chemical compounds. Most scents or odors are of VOCs. VOCs play an important role in communication between plants,[1] and messages from plants to animals. Some VOCs are dangerous to human health or cause harm to the environmentAnthropogenic VOCs are regulated by law, especially indoors, where concentrations are the highest. Harmful VOCs typically are not acutely toxic, but have compounding long-term health effects. Because the concentrations are usually low and the symptoms slow to develop, research into VOCs and their effects is difficult.

This episode was recorded on 03/24/2021 For decades, we have been inundated with information purporting to demonstrate that the apocalypse is if not upon us then certainly threatening to appear in the next few decades. In the 1960s, dire predictions of overpopulation and certain mass starvation by the year 2000 were commonplace. In the 1970s, it was the oil shock and the energy crisis. In the 1980s it was acid rain -- and then came global warming, which morphed into climate change. This was all played out over a background of genuine thermonuclear threat. It's no wonder we believed that ultimate catastrophe was looming. Surprising as it may seem, however, there is no shortage of reasons for holding the opposite viewpoint. The lives of most people, planet-wide, have dramatically improved in recent decades, extending a trend that began with the industrial revolution. In many important ways, things are looking better than they every have before. Dr. Marian Tupy and I discuss the macro-state of the world as outlined in his book Ten Global Trends. The ten trends identified and highlighted by Dr. Tupy are all associated with a large and important improvement in living standards for most of humanity, in rich and poor nations alike. Could we dare to be cautiously and attentively optimistic about the future? Dr. Marian Tupy is senior policy analyst at the Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity and co-author of Ten Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know: and Many Others You Will Find Interesting.

Glaciers of British Columbia

Lifeofluke

There are an estimated 17000 glaciers in British Columbia. We've already heard that they're melting because of climate change 10000 times over, this isn't another one of those 'doom and gloom' stories. This is an appreciation of their magnificence. I'm drawn to glaciers like I'm drawn to summit peaks. I stand in awe of their sheer vastness, like and ant on a frozen ocean. These meteorological time capsules are the largest reservoirs of fresh water on earth. They've plucked, scraped, and shaped endless ridges and valleys. When surface snow melts, disfigured scars of crevasses create beautiful multi dimensional patterns, and linear works of art on the mountainsides. 3% of the total area of BC is covered by these behemoth geological forces, while countless vibrant lakes are the result of friction and suspended rock flour. I have an extreme respect for these slow moving giants, and the sharp moraines hey leave behind. The only constant is change. Mountain environments are constantly changing around us, whether we like it or not. This video is the result of a couple years of fathering footage, and I want to keep visiting glaciers in the future. I hope you get to experience them too. Video and editing by Luke Gibson.
