Nature's needs vs. Mans needs. Who is in Who's backyard?

Is Man in Nature's world or is Nature in Man's World?

This is the question that I ask myself today.

Our population of White Swans are diminishing here at the Lake. They haven't had offspring in several years.  Being new to the Lake I was curious about this.  What happened yesterday answered all my questions.

I live in a well manicured lake community.  We love it here, the lake is gorgeous and the waterfowl the visit here are amazing.  Those that breed here are in danger though.  We have taken away all their safe breeding areas by removing the brush and manicuring the lawns all the way to the water so that we could have a better view of the lake.  The poor Swans don't have the material they need to make their nests and the certainly don't have brush to hide their nests from predators.  

Who is in Who's back yard?

Nature's Gifts by Margot Carrera

Specialties: Nature Photography, Living Art, Digital Art and Design, Healing Arts, Feng Shui. Margot Sherry Bogdanow-Carrera’s lifelong dedication to nature photography, her preferred art form for portraying this Earth, the planet unto which we are born and bound to preserve, is evident throughout her website: www.CarreraFineArt.com. Nature, in return, provides us with everything necessary for the spiritual journey we take while we remain on Earth. Too many of us, preoccupied with our daily struggle to survive, have lost sight of that promise, forgetting that if we had cared for Earth, there would be no struggle. Margot Carrera’s avowed insightful and artistic intent is to remind humankind of their connection to and with Nature, to remember that every one of us are – or should be – devoted stewards of this Earth. One can readily observe her special bond with every object she photographs and how this inspires each memorable image. “When you look at my website,” says Carrera, “you will discover at least one singular image that speaks directly to you and helps you to recall your own beautiful connection to Earth."
