Digital Photograph - First Signs of Fall

Trees starting to turn

I spotted these trees starting to turn
colors along a pond up in the mountains
this weekend. Look at all the dead trees
along the shore. Most of this is caused by
acid rain. Out forests here in North Carolina are really taking a beating.
 I think we need international
standards for monitoring power stations, factories, mines and refineries.
We need to protect our planet.
Clean air and water are essential.
We need these trees to help cool
the planet. They provide food,
shelter and homes
for many birds an animals.
