What a gorgeous bird---much prettier than our BlueJays around here (although they are pretty also --in their own way)... <br /><br />Sometimes we just have to get up --and muddle through the day, even when we don't want to. And --most of the time, if we allow it, we'll experience something great--just like you did...<br /><br />Great post.<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-45718779596047772762012-04-01T16:24:48.515-07:002012-04-01T16:24:48.515-07:00I'm glad you went.

I'm talking about practical application on what you see and observe in nature and replicating it for practical purposes. <br /><br />I was a landscape supervisor for a Property Management Company's Landscape dividsion before I left California and came to Sweden 6 years ago. The company I worked for was a bit skeptical when they first hired me because my methods were very unorthodox when compared to the conventional science-based way of doing things. I don't use any chemical fertilizers or amendments in my work. As a result, I have healthier plants and that negates the needs and use of pesticides. <br /><br />My time there was a success and I hated to go. The guy who replaced me went back to the conventional methods which not only drove up the cost of operations for the company in purchasing that chemical junk, but also the entire system collasped after a little over a year and pests were back in charge again.<br /><br />My point is that I actually do have more than one blog than that you first visited. My second blog is called "Earth's Internet: A Layman's guide to Installation and Maintenance" and it deals with many aspects of symbiotic relationships between trees and mycorrhizal fungus and some mechanical aspects of tree hydraulics most folks are unaware of. <br /><br />The second one is called "Primary Water" and is delves into possible past explanations of how the earth was once completely vegetated from pole to pole and what the mechanisms for that could have been. It's been an obsession of mine since I was young. I study water over here with a group that researches water based on the Theories of a man named Viktor Schauberger from Austria who is long since dead now, but the Swedish author who wrote a book about his life and research is still around, though about 94 years of age if he's still alive. Anyway that blog deals with alot of that. These groups have also come up with some great technologies for restructuring water.<br /><br />Both of those blogs are probably more technical, but I try to make it fun and simple. The one thing that irritates me about most scientific research papers is that they are never meant for the general public's reading, but rather their own inner circle. Hence they tend to talk down to the average folk and use terminology that bores the tar out of most people. Yes, I understand the terms, but it's the average human being that needs to be trained as a more responsible earth caretaker and scientists(not all but most) fail miserably at this. I attempt to change that and make it fun.<br /><br />You can just click on my Profile and you'll see the other links. <br /><br />Thanks for you blog though, I enjoy great photos. When I was younger in the 1970s as a teen and later 20s, I visited friends in Tucson quite a bit and photography was a favourite hobby of mine. Tucson & surrounding area is incredible.<br /><br />On the pine nut and oak acorn info, These seeds of themselves are incapable of moving far away from the tree to new locations and burying themselves in order to germinate. By pine nuts I mean species like Pinyons and other that have a rather large heavy nut and are not wind carried. Scrub Jays are a keystone species. If they go then a big part of the system fails, which in many ways is doing anyway.<br /><br />Cheers, KevinChaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-81946838877876872012-04-01T12:38:25.388-07:002012-04-01T12:38:25.388-07:00What a gorgeous bird!
