Fashion has nothing on natures beauty
her style and colours nakedly displayed
for our sheer pleasure but she can also
be confronting showing her rage when
we ignore her unwritten natural lore
We have raped the oceans then
polluted her wondrous waterways
tsunami an expression of her disgust
We rape the earth plundering her
treasures then wonder why quakes
Shake us to the core .. it’s coz we ignore
respect and the example of original
landowners who knew about balance
and moderation. She will willingly
share but we must learn to be fair
Our one percenters stockpile their
assets blatantly ignoring natures ability
to call them to task as they enslave
and brainwash the masses she will
unleash her retaliation in an obscure way
They suffer depression, insecurity and more
for wealth does not ensure a peaceful mind
for they need to seriously find a more kind
manner, share and care coz she has their
number and will confront in own her way …
these are both taken from the door of my home exactly ten days apart ..
aroused 
True. Respect is a two way street. Only when we respect Earth, will she love us back.

Such stunning photographs Kate and the way we treat mother nature is deplorable!
I had written something long back. Sharing a link with you for I know you will appreciate it.

I love the fashionable voice you gave to mother nature ….she looks absolutely stunning despite of the many injustice done to her for so long….she remained calm and still as evidently captured in your photographs. Yet we know that at times she too roars loudly and furiously when needed…

Bang on. There is much to learn from those who were here before us. Our First Nations friends have so much to offer the land, living and life.

I volunteer with my local elders, they have so much knowledge and wisdom … we look like fools beside them and to think how they’ve been treated and denigrated … it’s shameful!

Oh so true!! We’ve treated our First Nations the same over the years. The Residential School System forced on First Nations families still effects our country; all members of it.

Here there is the ongoing “Truth and Reconcilation Commission” set up by the government to hear and work on the wrongs dealt to First Nations people and in particular the Residential School System, which was for the most a plan to assimilate First Nations youth into western/Canadian culture and thus destroy their heritage. Happened to occur for over 100 years or so, up until the late 1960’s or early 1970’s.
Bad blight on who we are as people for sure. Children where taken from their families, shipped 100’s of miles to “boarding schools” run by the Catholic Church. A sad commentary. That has affected generations of First Nations people.

same here we stole their children literally and sadly still do, the trauma of not having ‘family or country’ is sheer torture for them … what we hear most about here is the number of your first nation women who are missing assumed dead and that these are not being properly investigated 😦

Yes. There is a big push to set up a Royal Commission to investagate the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women situation(the lack of thorough and substantive police/RCMP investigations) throughout the country.
Again, another sad commentary on our country.

No kidding. Collaboration between church and state to wipe out a nation of people. I think there is a strong push in Canada to get the current Pope to offer an “official apology” from the church for the acts against our First Nations. Not much has come of it from what I understand.

He promised to stamp out abuse but sanctions his right hand man Pell who knew and therefore condoned so much here. Did send him over for court but then it got buried … guessing his back home in his luxurious apartment at the vatican … shameful!

I imagine it is about the same here. A lot of talk and blowing of “hot air” it seems. There was an official apology from the previous Conservtive Government a few years ago.
