Have you ever heard a tune and find yourself humming the tune repeatedly?
I have just seen a photo and the image stayed, my heart hurts and I know I must share this.
The above photo is taken from Mail Online.
You may view all the beautiful photos and read the entire story by petting the bear on its head with the touch pad or mouse.
It is about the polar bear missing the snow and losing the ability to camouflage due to the change in climate.
I hope the bear doesn't turn purple but white flowers bloom abundantly instead.
Even then, the polar bear may miss feeding on ice.
I guess we human do encounter changes in our environment and learn to adapt as well.
Back in my garden, there are green grasshoppers that camouflage well amongst the leaves.
However, there is a white grasshopper that stands out which reminds me of the polar bear.
Will there come a day when we encounter snow in the tropics?
Will we adapt?
Heavy thoughts for this beautiful post. In the meantime, yes, let's enjoy the moment!
ReplyDeletePoor bear looking for and missing the snow, it really stands out in the lavender field!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know white grasshoppers existed. Great post and photos.
ReplyDeleteThought provoking and lovely images. The best kind of post.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting creature, your white grasshopper is. Your second shot of the green grasshopper is a great capture. Have you considered getting a D-SLR - I think you are more than ready for the adventure.
ReplyDeleteI share in your heavy heart. I hope and pray for the best...now and in the future. Your photos of the grasshoppers are very nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the grasshoppers!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I am unable to go into DIGI's website to vote today, have been voting daily with no problems, but since this afternoon, could not connect to DIGI, the screen is blank. Any problem on your side?.. BTW, I'm so happy to see that you are getting closer to the top! Keeping my fingers crossed that you will reach the top, better prepare a Onenezz flag, looks like you are going to need it! :)

Love the grasshopper shot! He's looking right at you!
ReplyDeleteRegarding the climate change, I hope the change for the worse can be prevented. Luckily the grasshopper can still enjoy the moment!
ReplyDeleteThe story of polar bear is so sad! Hope that he (they) will be able to adapt to changes...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture of the bear among the blooms, but when you look closer you see the damage. Sadly, all adapt, or die trying. (not fond of grasshoppers, but those are great shots)
ReplyDeleteenlightening post. Kaye—the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteA very nice post. I love the pic of the polar bear and yes, it is very serious and very sad.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to get Purple Polar Bear? Look cute but sad.
ReplyDeleteFirst it's lovely to see it sitting there like that's where it wants to be, but it is sad that it's environment is changing. The grasshopper is a great closeup shot.

Great close up shots, How sad for the bear, guess we all have to adapt or die.
ReplyDeleteImportant message conveyed by the Polar Bear image. Beautiful captures of them grasshoppers!
ReplyDeleteThe polar bear problem really gets to me...I have heard they drown because of the lack of ice!
ReplyDeleteGosh - your grasshopper shots are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo sad about global warming and the polar bears.
Sorry One for taking so long getting over here this week - and I've missed a couple of week's captions aswell. What a picture - I really felt very uneasy looking at that poor polar bear in surroundings that are so alien to his natural habitat. At first I thought he was photoshoped into the picture - that wouldn't have been so bad but that is REAL! poor animal.
ReplyDeleteThose grasshopper shots are so good especially that one where he's looking down the lens at you.
incredibly thought provoking post and stunning photos
ReplyDeletePoor Polar Bear. The climate change is so drastic nowadays! Hope it will adapt to the changes!
ReplyDeleteYou have many grasshopper in the garden now i guess! Beautiful shots!
Misiu pięknie wygląda w kwiatach, ale chyba mu tam za ciepło. Pozdrawiam
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a white grasshopper! Amazing the new things there are to learn each day.
