Warrior. Created with: Untamed Photographer.
View print sizes for Warrior by Chris Fallows: Story Behind the Photograph: Warrior Contrary to popular belief, the life of a male lion is not that easy. Even though male lions are most often seen lying down, or commandeering the spoils of their lionesses’ hard work, when their call to action comes, it is usually extremely hostile.

Start by offering 10 minutes to nature, every day
Throughout Lockdown 2020, I felt very grateful to live near to green hills, a river and the sea. I discovered that by being slow and still, I could connect more deeply with the universe than when travelling the globe. By doing less externally, deep inner work could finally be done. My mind at last became silent enough to listen.

Save the Turtles
Why won't anybody please think of the turtles!!! Image from Sport Diver.org Image from Australian Geographic Pretty dramatic, huh? Rest assured, these pictures are tame compared to the graphic, heartbreaking, gory ones I found while researching my topic. Due to my respect for wildlife, and my mom's intense love for turtles, I won't be showing those. Yes, the reality is often darker than it needs to be. But, if it gets the point across, then it's worth the trouble.

To My Beautiful Daughter
Sometimes when I miss you, I imagine what you would be doing right now. You would be away at university right now. I imagine you would be happy, you'd have a lot of friends, and I know you'd be doing great. After all, you inherited your grandmother's brains.

On a Biodiversity Note
Intro It's funny how powerful words can be when the world is out of tune. I clear my voice to tell you how words have penetrated my mind, and they have made me rethink choices, make changes, and become an advocate for healthy living. Now...how I came about these texts is merely coincidental.

I Started an Eco-Club for Kids and it Changed My Life.
It was 2015. I had begun the year depressed about the environment. I couldn't take any more news articles on the declining climate crisis, and was constantly inundated with infographic memes of how we're trashing our world. During my doom-scrolling one day, I came across a link to a Climate Reality Project training by the one and only, Nobel Laureate Al Gore, which was coming to my area, and a link to an application. I decided enough was enough, I felt pushed to take action.

First, I Drink the Coffee. Then, I Save the World.
I’m not exactly a morning person. I’d like to at least wake up fully before tackling the day or having a conversation. But every morning after coffee, I save the world.

YOLO but like, Save the Earth
As I lay in bed this morning, gratitude fills my being; for the gift of another day of life has been granted. I pause, as my senses take in the beaming 6am sunrise, the chorus of local birds chirping as they awaken from their nests. Buried underneath the weighted comforter, I look over and listen to the quiet hum of the humidifier, contrasting with the bang! of the garbage truck emptying the community dumpster, just outside my apartment window.

Banksy's Message And The Plight Of Climate Change
What transcends culture, differences in language and customs will always be art. The power of images to get the message across could never be diminished. It unifies people into one consciousness. That is why these street artists, who are using their talents to highlight the message of climate change, are so important to me.

The Chipmunks of Mt. Howard, Oregon
Northeast Oregon's Mt. Howard is a beautiful feature of the landscape--boasting views of Lake Wallowa and the valley where Chief Joseph and his people spent their summers. It is home to a variety of wildflowers, the steepest tram in North America, and what must be the most pampered family of chipmunks I've ever met.

Is having fewer children the answer to reducing carbon emissions and saving the planet?
When I saw the writing prompt: "Tell us how you're recycling, reducing, and reusing to help minimize your carbon emissions."

Was Thanos Right About Saving Earth?
The most memorable antagonists are the ones that make you reconsider your position on an issue. They are not evil for evil's sake but operate from a moral compass that, while unpopular, is entirely understandable and at least partially agreeable. In this regard, Thanos stands out. If you are unfamiliar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Thanos (huge purple dude, weird chin) is an overarching villain who first makes an appearance in the first Avengers movie in a post-credits scene. His presence remains enigmatic as the heroes move from film to film, but as the universe expands, the audience is able to piece together little nuggets of information about him.
