        Seagrass Protections Planning

        🌱 State officials are weighing new rules to protect underwater seagrass, a critical habitat for North Carolina’s fishing industry.
        🐟 Recent research shows significant declines driven largely by nutrient pollution, threatening breeding grounds for species like blue crab and flounder.
        💰 Protecting these ecosystems is environmental and economic, linking habitat health with coastal livelihoods.

        🗣️ Public input is open as planning moves forward. The next Marine Fisheries Commission’s Habitat and Water Quality Advisory Committee meeting is THU Jun 25, 6PM in Morehead City, on WebEx, and via phone!

          Missed the new map yesterday (way to go, Texas!) and my has slipped into a deeper category for a larger section of the state.

          The entire state remains in drought, but has expanded areas of "extreme" and "exceptional" drought, the two red colors.

          Colorado and others are still suffering, but large swathes of the country are completely out of drought. And California! Wow.

          A little rain today, more forecast for next week.

          droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Current

          The state of North Carolina, completely in colors indicating lack of rain. The hot spots have expanded and shifted north east, while my county (outlined in heavy black) is still slightly improved. Much of Western North Carolina (the mountains) is looking better. Now wishing that for the whole of the state.

          A screencap of the current US drought map shows a large diagonal of NO DROUGHT from parts of Texas up into New England. California shows nothing worse than yellow, the lowest registered level of "Abnormally Dry" which I hope means good things for rains and fires for them. Hard to be happy about this, but it's improved over a month ago, sorry I don't have the old maps.

            Pilot Mountain - The Failed 2nd Coming
            --

            One of my first ever big expeditions with a Camera was, against all good reason, was to climb the 3-4 miles to the top of Pilot Mountain - after working 10 hours that day.

            Thursday, I had it in mind to come back to the mountain with fresh eyes and some experience.

            Well... ehhh, I also didn't plan the timing of the day very well, as, as you can see, I don't have an actual photo of the mountain.

            "Firekeeper, why do you not have pretty picture of Mountain?"

            BECAUSE THE SUN WAS BEHIND IT!

            Ughh, Charlie Brown. Well, I suppose my next visit to this splendiferous Mountain will be had at 7:00pm rather than 7:00am next round, but nonetheless, I did walk the top and grab shots as I went, and made the most of the morning mist down below, or as much as I could of it.

            I took WAY more photos than I thought I did Thursday so these first four will be the first of eight to twelve from that trip. Right now, 8 seems more definite, so here's the first 4 that I've edited thus far.

              Today was a special day. As you can see, there's concrete in these photos. This is "The Jungle" as they say, full of apes, not squirrels, and this Jungle in particular, is downtown Statesville, NC.

              Why Statesville, plaid-clad camera-person?
              Because Statesville is the new location of my cousin's tattoo parlor, that just opened, and I got to photograph it!

              It's called "The Parlor", go on, go there, he's awesome.

              While those photos aren't public, Statesville very much is, so here's some photos I took yesterday of downtown.

              As usual, my goal isn't as much to document where I am like I'm trying to prove it exists to a speculative audience, I just took a few shots while I was there.

                And so, The Firekeeper was just out there, in Tanglewood, as he tends to be, taking photos of trees and plants and the like, walking about as he does...

                This is a very manecured place. It's part golf course to keep the Tesla and Corvette drivers busy and off of the highways during the day, but if you walk out far enough, you can still find some rustic rather untouched wilderness, my kinda stuff.

                I did end up walking out of the woods and finding Mallard lake right in front of me and beyond it, part of the golf course itself, but it was a pleasant surprise to walk out of the woods after half a mile of walking and "BEHOLD... LAKE".

                Oh yeah and happy first post on the new instance. Holla back y'all, my ego needs it.


                Some of the gardens around the Arboretum. Most of the flowers have come and gone... gotta be faster about these things, still mighty green tho.
