Humming bird.

Nice if they counted some of these…

The Nicola Naturalist Society  INC is having its bird count on Saturday the 14th of December in Merritt BC. This will be the 26th annual count by volunteer members. The stats are compiled and sent to the Audubon Society.

Get counted this Christmas, Heron Nicola River.

By the By pyro beetle

This pyror beetle showed up after the wildfires of 2023. I believe it was anyway. It was photographed on a wooden edge of an apartment building. These beetles live on burnt wood according to sources.

It’s coming up to the 21st of November next Thursday. And that’s the evening that the Nicola naturalists are doing a presentation on wildfire. The presentation begins at 7:00 p.m. at the Nicola Valley institute of Technology, top of the hill Bell Shaw Avenue in Merritt, British Columbia. The event  is hosted by the Nicola naturalist Society Incorporated and its members.

The group is fond of saying everybody is welcome. They’re going to appreciate memberships and donations. And there is also a random drawing fundraiser for donated items at the break and the money goes toward a bursary for an nvit student.

Hope to see you there …

The costed promises matter….

Social media matters…

Attitudes matter..

Count down matters.

Voting place and days matter.

To me you always matter/ care

MM spirit day, sisters in spirit..

Murdered and Missing

Parks

Post from summer

We are comfortable more with fall approaching, you ?

Timely

The recent and prolonged warming is  motivating action.

We are probably facing a bubble as economic  power is increased by the  completion of the Trans Mountain expansion . The gold weld was done 👍 in a  small ceremony in recent weeks.

Carbon tax revenue available

The increase in available  Fossil energy will be accompanied by revenues that are dedicated similar to road construction in the province. These revenues will come from carbon tax  and fund plans that reduce and mitigate carbon in our atmosphere. Once again, good luck to all those in these endeavors and to those that have to use their brain power to put forward alternatives to what might be successful planning.

Parks are a good place to work for nature’s cure.

Bass Coast 2024

Art,music, nature

So, the 2024 12th anniversary version of the Bass Coast festival has come and gone.

The get together for this year drew more than 6,000 people. The event is popular amongst fans of music, art, and nature.

Good luck for next year. P P

No bad luck came from this event for 2024.  People told us they enjoyed the access to the Coldwater River for recreating . EN Keep it up…

Well being

Ride the trail not the tail.

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

So, one strategy is knowing that I don’t have the same problems as Jeremiah and well being is different in connotation.

So, well is first a state of mind, second a commitment and always a goal, to ride. like  a bronk. Raines make the man. Consultation makes the raines. So talk to the pros before you saddle up then drive those doggies home and corral a healthy lifestyle. Don give anything away!

In the natural world, success is often defined by an organism’s ability to thrive and reproduce within its environment. Traits like adaptation, resilience, efficient resource utilization, and the ability to form symbiotic relationships contribute to the success of species in their natural habitats. Additionally, factors such as predator avoidance, reproductive success, and environmental balance play crucial roles in determining success in the natural world.

Adaptation in the natural world can generally be viewed as a multifaceted process encompassing several stages:

  1. Recognition of Change: Organisms first encounter a change in their environment, which may present either a new challenge or opportunity.
  2. Response and Adjustment: Following the recognition of change, organisms respond by making adjustments in their behavior, physiology, or morphology to better fit the new conditions.
  3. Reproduction of Adapted Traits: Successful adaptations may be passed on through reproduction, leading to the proliferation of advantageous traits within a population over successive generations.
  4. Integration and Stability: Over time, adapted traits become integrated into the population and contribute to its stability within the environment.

These stages illustrate how adaptation unfolds over time as species interact with and respond to changes in their natural habitats.
