Communicate 2017 conference

 

Inspirational;

advancing the way we see

the natural world.

 

by Scooj

 

The Communicate Conference, organised by the Bristol Natural History Consortium, is a coming together of wildlife/environment communications specialists from all sectors across the UK and beyond, to learn from great speakers and exceptional workshops. The challenges of ‘saving the planet’ have never been so great but the mood of the conference was to use our collective knowledge and passion to make positive changes. This, in the turbulent landscape of ‘fake news’ and ever reducing financial resources. Communicate is my annual fillip. I will do my best.

It’s a long spell of

continuous employment

serving the public.

Today it comes to an end;

a switch to Civil Service.

The earth moved

Seven on the dot

apartment trembles; next door

a construction site.

Amtrak 171

 .

Track 1 for New York

delayed due to trees on track;

just like being at home.

Osprey

 

The Sound flat as glass

and ospreys criss-cross searching

for fish while I watch.

Autumn morning, Connecticut

 

Views across the bay

and to Long Island. Endless

blue skies and soft breeze.

Evocative

 

And when the rains came

the petrichor enveloped

me with nostalgia.

Ophelia’s edge

 

Ophelia’s edge

brings premature Autumn dusk;

heavy yellow skies.

Thinking ahead

.

Garlic bulbs purchased

ready to plant tomorrow;

thinking of summer.

Ophelia enters

 

October records

due to be broken as the

warm weather moves in.
