Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.

We've lots to let go of right now. But even more that we must f1ght for. For me it's all about nature. Or everything else becomes pointless.

Current ones still getting same response as I did

Dew! In a severe drought, even .1 of a mm is a precious resource. These droplets on a karri leaf are enough for the little invertebrates in a biodiverse ecosystem 💚

Jinny’s blog explains why this is so outside of normal for Margaret River is here: earthseastar.com/2024/04/15/run…

Margaret River, Western Australia, is world famous for its beaches, river & forests.

Experts are warning of “forest collapse” in WA caused by climate change.

#GunnaiKurnaiCountry : As they have done for 50million years. The day ends and the night begins as thousands of Grey-headed flying-foxes take to the skies searching the forests for the nectar and pollen of flowering eucalypts, banksias, melaleucas and for rainforest fruit.

The circle of life 💚

Sand swallowing jarrah at Yeagarup. How thick this buried trunk was I'll never know - but on the far side of the dune, wind is uncovering ancient wood buried 1000s of years ago ...

Jinni Wilson your final comments about actually doing something now/immediacy of need for water management is 💯 true.Doesn't mean hearts aren't breaking though...

Jinni Wilson the vegetation on the shallow granites appear really vulnerable - we've had a stand of whippy small jarrah/marri die above Boodjidup Creek

🚨🚨Here's more evidence of the impact of West Australia's record heat & lack of rainfall this time in Margaret River

Jinni Wilson took these pics of dead/dying vegetation along the lower reaches of the river

Still not a peep from Roger Cook Reece Whitby

Jinni Wilson I drove from Perth to Bunbury today and the sight of so many dead and dying trees was beyond heartbreaking. I have never seen anything like it.

View from the Margaret River. The rock you see here is the actual river bed, which used to flow all year and now is stricken by climate change
