Preservation Or Loss

Thank you Cora ! Thanks for looking !

Thanks Shannon ! I’ve been going over to this Island for a few months now and it’s got great scenery and many species of birds.

Really ? I live on the biggest one in the world – Australia, the Island Continent ! And this one here is in our town about 25 minutes from my house. It’s cool – like wandering around in Africa, looking at wild creatures !

Thanks Linda, I really appreciate your feedback and the Favourite !

Thanks Cheryl ! I made this on the “Late Shift”, and one day I’ll sleep properly ! I’m glad you liked it and thanks for the Fave ! They had an Open Day there last week, but I had to drop out due to that neck problem – but would have been interesting to go.

Where’s Merritt ? Never heard of it. Vacations are what I need a real one of – you don’t get one in my current situation. So any day of the week I don’t work has been my “vacation”, not a week or two.

Thanks very much, I’m glad you do ! Thanks too for the Fave !

Thanks very much ! I’m slowing down to spend more time on individual pieces, which is hard with a go, go, go attitude. :)
Thanks for the Fave, Sue !

Thanks Sylvia !

Thanks Jason, I’m really glad you like the image ! Thanks for the Fave !
You two are going to make a very nice Photo Studio one day – a great combination of skills.

Thanks Tom, very much appreciated !

Thanks Murray, much appreciated ! I want to put photo’s inside photos with these kinds of effects, but my software has been problematic in recent weeks.

Thank you Gwenda !

Thanks Bev, it’s appreciated !

Thank you Lori ! It’s the same thing here too, with new suburbs spreading out to take the forests every day. But there are species that are very adaptable. Like Kookaburra’s and Gallah’s – they don’t care if they perch in a tree or on your Clothes line !

Thanks a lot Al !

Thanks Emolena, I’m glad you like it ! Czy naprawdę pracować, aby pomóc środowisku? Gratulacje, jeśli to, co masz na myśli, to wielka rzecz do zrobienia dla naszej planety!
Thanks for the Fave !

Thanks Antanas, I’m glad you liked my creation and thanks too for the Fave !

Thanks for your feedback Gloria !

Thanks very much Trudi !

Thanks for your nice comment Violetta ! :)

Thank you Peter ! This was shot at the Kooragang Wetland Rehabilitation Project where replanting and careful land management is making a big difference to the habitats there.

Laughing here Chen ! :) Thanks very much for your enthusiastic comment, my friend !

Thanks for the Glittering Banner and the feature, I definitely noticed it ! Very much appreciated Cougar [ and buddy hosts ] !

It’s been a great day on here. 400 views in 24 hours, I made it to the Home Page, and now this feature as well. A personal landmark ! :))

Thanks again ! :)
I’m checking out your Gallery right now – great portrait !

I was was thinking about that, but didn’t want to be rude ! :) ROFL at your joke, Chen ! :)

Thanks Faizee !

Thanks a lot Faizee !

Parthenon ? I can’t even remember where that was now – about 20 or 25 years ago it may have been gutted and re-developed, I forget. There was always much more to see here than the Steelworks – but we were branded with it. Arguably the best beaches in NSW and so much more too. Thanks for the compliment Ginny !

Thanks very much John ! It’s been a funny old day, thanks for your opinion before. Thanks too for the fave !

.. :) !

Thanks Linda ! Colour has always been a vital part of creativity for me. I appreciate the Fave !

Thanks Mekea, much appreciated !

Thanks very much Michael, I’m glad you like this !

Yeah, they focus on the preservation. But the marketing and luxury-driven lives we have been programmed to live will always be at odds with each other.
Thanks Shallay ! Now turn off your PC and go for a walk, or listen to some music etc etc ! :0 [ Only a suggestion, never a command ]

Thanks Blamo, at the place where this was shot the news is getting better all the time – reversing the damage slowly.

Thanks very much for your nice comment ! This is textures and a few filters etc. Thanks for the fave !

Thanks very much !

Thank you for making it a fave !

Sorry I missed this ! Thanks very much for your nice comment Marilyn !

Thanks again my friend for your very nice comment and fave ! :-)

Thanks for your encouragement PA ! This was taken at a Wetland Rehabilitation Centre that I was doing Desktop Publishing for and the texture is a photo I took for a small custom Texture Bank I have on my PC.

Thank you for the compliment Joanne ! This is taken from a little wharf at the Kooragang Wetlands Centre in Australia. They are planting trees and scientifically managing the environment on an island that has been farmed for over 100 years and also suffered from the effects of industrial pollution.

Thanks a lot for your support Shanina ! This has been on RB for a while, I just shuffled it to the front a bit.
