This deep blue sky has a wonderful colour but is a sign that the night will be frosty with minus degrees. After more than +20°C, we had a sudden temperature drop last evening. Today only 9°C with a strong and icy NE wind.
I love that time when the edges of the forests and the orchards explose in green, white and rose. The green of April is the most beautiful one!
The sun comes out and the Meadows are busy.
Now to await the cherry blossoms blooming along these avenues in the near future, always a delight and wonder each spring.

Study uncovers surprising fact about #wildflowers in urban areas: 'No difference … between the meadow types'
"By sowing flower #meadows, we quickly create colorful #habitats that are eagerly visited by city inhabitants."

This study's findings could help boost #biodiversity in cities.
A recent study from researchers at the #UniversityOfWarsaw found that small patches of wildflowers can foster the same biodiversity

#Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' #Scotland #rewilding project
"‘The sound of traffic and a uniform sea of barley have been replaced by the most beautiful #meadows, full of #wildflowers, young saplings and the buzz of #bees’"
by Katharine Hay, 26 Nov 2024
"The bumblebee population has made an impressive comeback in a developed area by increasing to 116 times what it was two years ago thanks to a nature restoration group.
"#RewildingDenmarkfield, a 90-acre project based just north of Perth, has been working to restore nature to green spaces in an increasingly built up area for the past two years."

"the risk that the world ultimately cannot stick to a path that rapidly phases out fossil fuels and avoids the worst climate outcomes. "
quite optimistic huh... did they take into consideration resources like copper to do so ? Even if there's not enough to mine, you need fresh water to extract copper.
And if there isn't enough doom-loops, we should also add geo-engineering for some funky unpredictable outcomes.
@ecosurrealism degrowth only isn't enough, we have to kill capitalism.
Based on my parents' photos from family chat. This place was in village they live - it's a lot of fields and #meadows here.
Patches of #wildflowers in cities can be just as good for insects as natural meadows – study. Researchers found no difference in the diversity of species in urban #meadows compared with those in rural settings https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/20/patches-of-wildflowers-in-cities-can-be-just-as-good-for-insects-as-natural-meadows-study-aoe #pollinators #nature #insects #UrbanDesign #butterflies #flowers #nature #flowers not #lawns #climatechange

Late? Indubitably!
I got lost on my way in from the #meadows and wandered aimlessly for over an hour before accidentally stumbling upon home - hence the delay in getting this to you.
Wouldn’t happen to a bumblebee!

Despite the small size of their brains #bumblebees are really really good at navigation.
They navigate on a par with vertebrates and in certain aspects their sense of direction is better than that of humans.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away former White House chief of staff #Mark #Meadows' bid to move his state prosecution to federal court -- in the case stemming from an alleged effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
The court's denial of Meadows' appeal leaves in place a lower court decision that returned the prosecution to state court.
Meadows and President-elect #Donald #Trump, for whom he worked, were charged alongside 17 others by Fulton County prosecutors for their alleged efforts to reverse Trump's electoral loss in Georgia in 2020.
They pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Proceedings have been on hold for months as a Georgia appeals court is set to consider in December whether to allow Fulton County District Attorney #Fani #Willis to continue prosecuting Trump and his allies.
