An Albino Crow - In Case You've Never Seen One.

This unusual crow owes its snowy feathers to leucism, a genetic condition that reduces pigmentation while keeping its eyes dark.

So COP has ended with NO mention of fossil fuels and just ONE mention of deforestation.

What a farce.

So I’ll just repost this.

“A world at 2.6C means global disaster,” said Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics.

“That all means the end of agriculture in the UK and across Europe, drought and monsoon failure in Asia and Africa, lethal heat and humidity.”

William Morris’ designs = a Matisse painting come to life.

www.architecturaldigest.com/story/tour-t...
A bedroom at Kelmscott Manor where the designer William Morriis lived from 1878 until his death in 1896. Decorated using Morris’ textiles and wallpaper in corals, yellows and blues with a turquoise painted door, simple furniture, a canopy bed and wood plank floor, it manages to look simultaneously complicated and spare.

For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame!’~ Yeats
