Green Grounded is sometimes amazed at how the natural environment and urban development merge. Often, I notice that we push wildlife out of their natural settings. Consequences are expressed in our daily lives as we experience far too many deer carcasses on the side of highways.
On a much (much) lighter note than roadkill, here’s a video [...]
Lame play on words, but I wanted to write a brief commentary on the energy, emotionally, of our nation post Tuesday’s election. Tuesday itself was a holiday to me, commanding more honor than so many national holidays, I have looked forward to Election 2008 since summer of 2007. I compiled a short video of Marc’s [...]
The film here was filmed in mid-September, as Green Grounded and the Triangle were suffering from $5 a gallon gasoline. “Drill Baby Drill!” was a popular chant (or source of criticism), and I was still driving Gina. I planned on airing it before registration deadline, but life (and car accidents) got in the way.
I waited [...]
Marc and I went to Falls Lake in Raleigh this past Sunday for, what Marc thought, was fishing. I went just to relax on a rock. Little did we realize that Falls Lake is simply a disaster zone of plastic, broken glass, cigarette butts and nuclear waste.
OK, the nuclear waste is a step too far, perhaps, [...]
I do not know about your week, but betweeen life, work and elections, the first three days of this week were pretty high-impact, so I am taking a long deep breathe today to relax with clips from my last trip to the park.
Marc and I went up to Shelley Lake Park recently and I took [...]
Voting literally took about as long as it will take you to watch this, and NC has now heard two more voices during this all important election. Seriously… get out there, or cram it next time you want to complain about gas prices, food prices, school systems or transportation. :) Happy Tuesday Voting!

So, I previously mentioned the fluke weather that befuddled Marc and myself on the way to a restaurant Sunday evening (around 8 pm), but here are more pictures from the BEAUTIFUL rainbow. And a video :)
Also, I apologize for the BAD music playing… from my doorstep until we got to the restaurant, I was so [...]
I spent yesterday at Herbfest in Wake Forest before heading out to downtown Raleigh for the last half of their Earth Day celebrations.
Let me just say, Herbfest ~ you are cool. No wonder Sierra Club named Wake Forest one of America’s coolest cities!
Further, Raleigh, I got there at 530 for an event that was supposed [...]
A couple months ago, Lisa and I met a nice gentleman in Benson walking his dog, John Boy, who was on his way to recycle. I hope introducing you to Lisa’s and my Benson friends gives you a Saturday morning smile.

With the rain rain rain we’ve gotten, Durham did the inevitable and lowered water restrictions from stage iv to stage iii. This all has been highlighted during a recent drought forum held by a neat group I hadn’t heard of ~ the Wise Women for Growth.
Bull City Rising shares feelings on the drought restrictions as [...]
