Description
"What manner of beings inhabits yon distant shore? Are they enlightened, benevolent and peaceful? Are they barbaric, vicious and warlike? Are they stout of limb and giant in girth? Are they willowy and petite of build? All I can say with certainty in my heart, is that in some essential way, they are like us." ~ Theo
A mudcastle along the shore of a Lake Colby in Lake Helen, FL. The water level is very low and some of the locals took the opportunity to play in the exposed muddy bottom. It is said that back in the early 1900s when Florida was being further explored and established, that all one had to do was sink a 5-10 foot pipe into the ground and fresh water would gush out of it. That is why there were no cellars in South Florida. Today, people need to excavate wells over 100 feet deep to reach any kind of water. I worry for what we are doing to our planet...

TwoPynts It is said that at one time, Florida was all one big swamp. What we are doing is damming our planet (and perhaps our species). Pun intended.

what a telling shot...I too am worried about our planet. I plan to do a series on the harm our planet is seeing, but I am not sure how to go about it just yet...just keeping the ideas in my head.
