Nina Angelo is a dear friend and there's a terrific article on her life's work written by Julie Duell at ArtIntegrity

"Wow! Where do I begin to tell you about Nina Angelo?  I have known Nina for many years through artistic pursuits and as neighbours at MacMasters Beach and the I’m sure the first word that that comes to mind when most people think of her is “COLOURFUL”. "

A Finer Reality by Cedar


The Burning Season - upcoming documentary directed by Cathy Henkel, produced by Hatchling Productions

As the world faces up to the impacts of climate change, a young environmental entrepreneur proposes a massive carbon trading deal that could protect the forests of Indonesia, save the orangutan from extinction, and affect the Earth's future.

Dorjee Sun's past is filled with contradictions, but his mission is clear: he's structured a radical plan to stop the "lungs of the planet", Indonesia's pristine rainforests, being burned off for palm oil production - and in the process believes he can reduce global carbon emissions by up to 40 percent. Indonesia is tagged "world's worst" in forest clearing; it's also a chaotic, often corrupt nation of 220 million people, many trying to escape brutal poverty.

For her part, former flight attendant Lone Droscher-Nielsen, obsessed with saving Indonesia's orangutans, is sweating on Dorjee's mission to America. Last year the fires displaced or killed 5000 orangutans; at this rate they will be extinct by 2015. Running a rescue-and-rehab centre on Borneo, Lone is emotionally drained. "Are we just going to let them get killed out there?" she asks. The answer: the palm oil companies have no need for orangutans or rain forests. Whatever gets in their way must go. Pressure at every level is growing.

For Ahmadi Widyasari, global warming means little. He's doing what thousands of farmers on Sumatra do, burning forest every year to clear more land to produce palm oil for shampoo and other products. Ahmadi's only concern is his family's survival. See Events


Morocco's Climbing Goats

climbing goats
Goats on trees are found mostly only in Morocco. The goats climb them because they like to eat the fruit of the argan tree, which is similar to an olive. Farmers actually follow the herds of goats as they move from tree to tree. Not because it is so strange to see goats in trees and the farmers like to point and stare, but because the fruit of the tree has a nut inside, which the goats can't digest, so they spit it up or excrete it which the farmers collect. The nut contains 1-3 kernels, which can be ground to make argan oil used in cooking and cosmetics. This oil has been collected by the people of the region for hundreds of years, but like many wild and useful things these days, the argan tree is slowly disappearing due to over-harvesting for the tree's wood and overgrazing by goats.

Pelicans

the flying pelican circled around and made a faultless landing.


How much is enough? In The Ringing Cedars latest book The New Civilisation, Anastasia tells a remarkable story of how the system of working for the coin has enslaved the majority of people in most nations on Earth.

These photographs of stashes of cash collected in drug sales shows the extent of the madness so many have descended into with their lust for money.

Planet Earth dvd series - if you ever have doubts about wanting to be on planet Earth - do watch this - again.

I've been watching the fantastic dvd series Planet Earth which is beautifully narrated by David Attenborough.
It astonishes me how the photographers were able to achieve such spectacular footage.
Available from the ABC and BBC shops - disturbing that we are losing so many species, delightful that these glorious worlds of nature have been brought to our screens.

Bird Lovers - Dancing for the sheer joy of it - this is gorgeous!

Snowball is a medium sulphur crested Eleanora cockatoo and he loves to dance and sing.
He loves the Back Street Boys. No one taught Snowball to dance...he just heard this song and suddenly felt like dancing. We're all jealous because he can outdance each one of us...nobody likes a show off! When he's really in the mood, he dances and sings.
And at the end of the performance he takes a bow or two or twenty!! Enjoy the show.
