Bittersweet...

I love nature documentaries, and few can compete with the Planet Earth series from BBC, currently in its second iteration.

Another installment, Seven Worlds, One Planet debuts tonight with its premier episode. The subject? Australia.

Will be a painful reminder of the destruction being wrought Down Under.

Wanna watch, but might have to choke back tears at the thought of current events.

country store this afternoon (to buy bagels and cream cheese) and the young girl at the register was on her phone and not paying much attention... she finally looked up and explained that she was texting with a friend living in Australia (not sure what part) and that her friend was frustrated because she couldn't even let her pets outside because of the air... said things are becoming untenable for most there

I know what's coming because too few believe what's coming.

Attenborough's wildlife cameramen and cinematography were/are truly amazing. It was a most beautiful production.

Looking forward to the others, even tho I'll cry again.

Thanks for posting, Bear.
