Yesterday, I found another opportunity in my inbox. You have absolutely no idea what a pleasant change of pace it is to have these things come to me. I will dish on those when and if they come to fruition.
On 7/15/12, I posted about the not so definite link between extreme weather and climate change. Since then, James Hansen has published a
paper where he concludes that a couple of extreme heat waves (one in 2011) are linked to global warming. I also thought recent
news that at one time Antarctica was covered with palm trees, baobab and macadamia was fascinating.
The colors in Bryce National Park were stunning, terra cotta
hoodoos and deep pines against a cerulean sky. When the morning and evening light hit those formations, they glowed a brilliant orange. We hiked the Queens Garden/Navajo Loop. It was one of the best hikes I've ever done. Midway through that hike we came to a section adorned with tiny cairns. They were everywhere. They were piled on the ground, on logs, on tree branches. It was the cutest thing and surely something that rangers do to occupy little ones. What an adorable idea! Next time, I'll post about the wildlife I saw.
