Melbourne city is expanding a large park area, so we'll be able to cruise around the Victoria/botanic/shrine area and all the way to the beach. The arts area in South Melbourne is also getting more parkland in coming years.

I'm looking forward to joining a "Bike Fix" group to service and promote cycling in these areas. Regardless of anything else, it's so much fun.

The proposal for some state parks sparked outrage among residents. DeSantis made it sound as if the “half-baked” plan was leaked before it was ready. But the department’s attempted public rollout shows this was a proposal in its final stages.

The state published its full plans on a government website alongside an announcement for simultaneous public meetings across Florida within a matter of days. Officials in the governor’s office showed support of the plan at first, and state officials made a series of social media graphics touting it.

Städtische und stadtnahe Wälder: Mehr Widerstandsfähigkeit für die grünen Lungen

Städtische und stadtnahe #Wälder sind wichtig für die Gesundheit und das menschliche Wohlbefinden. Um ihrem Rückgang entgegenzuwirken, haben Forschende des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie im Projekt „Grüne Lunge“⁽¹⁾ untersucht, wie einzelne #Bäume in der Nähe von Straßen, #Friedhöfe⁣n oder #Parks sowie städtische #Wälder anpassungs- und widerstandsfähiger gegenüber den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels werden können⁽²⁾ .

Having a dog getting me out and walk much more than before, så i am seeing new things aäö the time.

There was a small park behind pir apartment with lots of malberry trees. Used to go there with the kids to pick up fruits to eat them. But 2 years ago they cut all the beautiful trees out and were working on changing ot

I never walk on that street any more so I didn't see the changes, but they now have turned it into a small botanical garden, lots of exotic trees from around the world and this little thing for bees. It even have 2 drinkable water fountains that is a great thing during the summer when walking the dog.

I've skipped the first 3 minutes or so of this, to get right to the part that I find amazing. It is a scratchy, early audio recording from 1955, the week of Rosa #Parks' arrest, of King either making a "prophesy", or just exercising the full force of will and his charisma. Whatever the reason, he proceeds to #predict and proclaim exactly what the #CivilRights movement will do over the next decade or so. It kinda reminds me of the story of Joan of Arc, who proclaims at a young age that she will raise an army and liberate France - and then she does.
This 1970 documentary is imo one of the best ever made about #King.
