“Let us regard the forests as an inheritance, given to us by nature, not to be despoiled or devastated, but to be wisely used, reverently honoured and carefully maintained. Let us regard the forests as a gift, entrusted to any one of us only for transient care, to be surrendered to posterity as an unimpaired property, increased in riches and augmented in blessings, to pass as a sacred patrimony from generation to generation.” – Baron Sir Ferdinand von Mueller (1879)

This world environment day, ask yourself, what would Sir David do?
"It's surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth."
"The final chapter is ours to write. We know what we need to do. What happens next is up to us."
– David Attenborough
It's time to be the change you want to see.

Light my fire. Royal hakea or Tallyongut (Hakea victoria) is quite possibly my new favourite muse. As changing angles of light play over the vividly coloured leaves, venation patterns glow with an intensity that is hard to believe. The range of leaf colours on a single plant is thought to be driven by nutrient limitations and internal recycling of nutrients.

Slightly the worse for wear with a few scars to show for it and probably in need of a good rest. It’s been an interesting couple of years. Like this lion near the Crocodile River, it is also good to be back focusing on the things that matter. Berg en Dal region, Kruger National Park, South Africa.
