Every year since I started this blog I've written about the RSPB/Birdlife campaign to save the albatross. It's a campaign I support in a simple way by sending in my used postage stamps. So many people now save them for me that my packages have to go with more frequency. Today I packed up everyone's Christmas stamps to send off and finding this film trailer the other day only re-inforced that whilst it might not seem much, every action counts. Some images in this trailer made me so sad. To see a young bird, dead, from eating plastic waste is heartbreaking. Parts of it made me want to look away but we created this situation and it's hard not want to find whoever dumped this material and make them pay.

Just testing
The issue with Blogger uploading photos persists but they have given us Internet Explorer Luddites a way around it so I'm just testing the theory with some Photoshop trials. It seems to work.......

The mantra for 2013
The post I wanted to share today has been thwarted by issues that Blogger has with uploading photos so I want to share something else instead. The quote below from poet Mary Oliver is one I found somewhere a few weeks ago and scribbled down. I did that because she has managed,yet again, to put into words a call to action that I need to register personally. I then found the following video here earlier, and it seemed that the two things are sort of saying the same message in essence.Words to revisit and take heed of in the months ahead.
