#tree

This was at the end of my street about 50m from the house I grew up in.

Never got to go inside, and little did I know until today, it has the first cultivated #pear #tree in the world in the courtyard.
Planted in #1647 and it still bears #fruit #today.
Here a pic of the inside

The place was built in #1616, a charity project for old or #destitute #women ..
Single people over 45yo can apply to live there at the moment.
Not bad, not bad at all if you have to live in a city

The #Amazon loses 2,000 soccer fields per day

The month of May 2022 registered 1,476 km² of cleared area, corresponding to 44% of the total area lost in the first five months of the year, which confirms the unbridled evolution of #deforestation. The state of #Amazonas leads the extraction of native #vegetation with 553 km², 38% of the total deforestation in #Brazil in the period. More than double the 264 km² registered in 2021.

The problem here is the tipping point. At a certain point, the forest can no longer regenerate and the whole area inevitably becomes a desert.

Cet après-midi, à l'Île-de-la-Visitation, j'ai vu le Cardinal dans mon arbre préféré de l'Île...

Notez que j'étais un peu loin et sans trépied, d'où la qualité douteuse de la photo...

"one morning in the park"

the rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday ;-) … and follow the tag.

#sundaygimp

(and also #Sunday-photo-edit )

Note: if you do not use gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor
