This site is devoted to promote conservation of nature. Nature
is most important to us. Without nature, civilization has no meaning. Nature is only thing that everybody can enjoy and cherish.
We have to conserve nature to enjoy it. There is only one earth in the universe. There is no other planet like earth in the
whole universe. Therefore, we should do best to keep this earth as pristine as possible for future generation.
Conserve
nature, Prevent pollution, and Beautify the environment

Burst out exposing gleaning gem granules
Like rubies emitting brilliant rays
Because
could not keep them for herself all alone. Such an amicable face
That is shyly reddened
With gleaning teeth on her smiling face. Since spring time,
When scions swell to sprout,
Having
waited long time
Till now to expose all gem granules inside. Summer,
Bloom like a trumpet
That brought butterflies, humming birds, . . .
Along with secret of nature. Until fall,
When
gladly expose all the glories,
Grow taking all spirits from the sun
Compacting inside. Now, she
does not have any regrets
Left . . . * Pomegranate(Punica granatum) is a fruit bearing deciduous shrub

it ripens peels crack and opn up exposing granules inside. 2008 Jae Ro

For more pictures, please click here Autumn has come!  Autumn has arrived to bring cool pleasant breeze and cornucopia of harvest. Although it
often puts us in nostalgic, sometimes even melancholic mood, autumn is a great season. Since autumn equinox passed by
quite a while ago, days are getting short and nights are getting longer and holyday season is approaching. It is time for
us to read more and think more. Here is a poem on October by Richard Greene and one of my own which was written
some time ago. As autumn comes As autumn comes, What I remember
most While I am inhaling cool air That is scented with chrysanthemums Is my mother. She used to collect flower petals Of chrysanthemums To use for chrysanthemum wine Which she loved to brew For
holidays and guests. I loved to help her for picking chrysanthemum And watch While she was
brewing wine. Those good times has long gone But it is still vivid in my memory. Now, I am
far away In a remote country. I am still longing for the time When I was young and gallant And every thing seemed pleasurable While my mother was around. Jae Ro I also embedded a wonderful
site of Sistine Chapel in Vatican for your view.
AMAZING. MOVE THE ARROW AND YOU WILL SEE EVERY PART OF THE CHAPEL.
This
virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible.

There
is no other planet like earth. Human is only one who can destroy nature, causing the earth formidable. CONSERVE NATURE, PREVENT
POLLUTION, AND BEAUTIFY ENVIRONMENT! As of end of July in 2009, I
visited all 50 states of USA, at least some part of them. North Dakoda was the last one of 50. During this trip, I went to
see Theodore Roosevelt National Park as well. Read more of this trip:

It Was One of Those Fine October Days It was one of those fine October days
free from summer’s heat and haze
but not yet gripped by autumn chill.
It was one of those fine October days
when the sky’s so clear
you can see the moon
through the atmosphere
at midday.
It was one of those
fine October days
when the trees sport yellow and red
instead of everyday summer green.
It was one of
those fine October days
when one draws a deep breath
and is grateful
to be resident on Earth.
Richard Greene
