An Earth Day Collection of Vintage Globes

In recognition of Earth Day,
I've gathered some vintage globes.
(Click the caption to go to its shop.)
I like their subdued colors and the variety of stands.

Appreciating our planet and its Creator~
"In His hand are the depths of the earth
and the mountain peaks belong to Him.
The sea is His, for He made it,
and His hands formed the dry land."
Psalm 95:4-5

Curated Color: Navy Blue

Oh, the many expressions of blue!

I'm blue in the face from talking about them.

As every blue-blood knows, a blue print is necessary.

And every once in a blue moon,

one finds a blue-ribbon collection of true blue examples

of the color blue.

Enjoy this edition of Curated Color,

this time celebrating navy blue!

Timelapse of the Earth Over the Last 30 Years

nasa.gov

With appreciation to NASA, the US Geological Survey, TIME, and Google, I'm excited to share with you this phenomenal video about the Landsat program. Landsat Earth Imaging Satellites have collected trillions of pixels of imagery data, creating a picture archive of our planet since 1984. The best of these have been compiled into an animated time-lapse of Earth.

The changes in our planet over the past quarter of a century are truly amazing! We see the growth of cities and the impact of desert irrigation, but the most dramatic event recorded is the disappearance of the Amazon Rainforest. This evidence of global change, not necessarily for the good, is undeniable. It brings about an eye-opening awareness and a call to accountability.

The 8th satellite in the Landsat series was launched in February of 2013.
