You Can Help Save Amphibians!
Did you know?
*Nearly 1/3 of the ~6,500 amphibian species are threatened and almost ½ experiencing population declines.
* This figure represents more threatened amphibians than reptiles, birds, fishes, or mammals, making them the most threatened class of vertebrates on the planet.
* In the past few decades, 159 species are thought to have gone extinct, and all experts involved know that this is an underestimate.
Why should we care?
*The frogs, toads, salamanders and other amphibians consume millions of invertebrates and also become prey for creatures higher in the food chain. What happens when such a critical piece is removed?
*Amphibians have thin, permeable skin which makes them particularly sensitive to toxins and are considered our environmental barometers, sensing even very low levels of pollutants or temperature change.
What you can do to help?
*Try to be a good environmental steward.
* Make a new wetland in your backyard, even a small pond will help
* Help raise awareness

Ah, I do love those LONG shadows! How fun! It does look cold, but the sun at least makes for great shadows even if it doesn’t offer much warmth! Hope your weekend is going well! Enjoy! Stay warm!

I think that giant is a very nice person to look after the birds too !
Isn’t it amazing how distorted our shadows can get and make us laugh ?
Keep Cozy !!
Joy : )
I like the golden light and the lo-oo-ng shadow!
Too funny! Fantastic photo, Michelle! Brrrr… looks cold.
The weak southern sun allows for huge shadows. The large shadow is performing a noble mission, to feed the birds who cannot forage through the snow. S considerate shadow indeed!
…and what a kind giant it is and sooo photogenic!
Happy days dear friend.
What a great photo…brought an instant smile to my face.
fun shadow shot-certainly stretches you out…lol!
Love the shadow.
