I find this suggestion ... sending terrestrial lifeforms on an interstellar journey to populate the galaxy w/ life (even tho the chances are slim it wld work) rather disturbing.

Are we so taken w/ ourselves as to think that act would improve the state of the cosmos?

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

Well that's an extremely small moon... forty minutes ago, from the vehicle access track at Castlecliff Beach.

@DavidBflower Seven-and-a-half hours ago from the comfort of the living room of my (A-framed) house - and some dirt on the window.

Feels more like winter than spring today out here at Castlecliff, but the walk to the beach is always worth it.

Sunday at Castlecliff Beach...
Not a lot of people.
But the sand dunes were vibrant with colour.
#Whanganui

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

The Citadel caf at Castlecliff Beach has got #COVID19nz lockdown sorted.
And kindness and free lemons at a stall on the way home.
#Whanganui

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

My "walk around the block"... the beach stretch, a couple of hours ago. And to the right, on the horizon, just the distant tip of the maunga #Taranaki.
So lucky to be living close enough to this surf just now to hear it day and night.

"As a child, she became friends with the cows that were living in her backyard".
Often thought little kids show how we're born with the right instincts. But we soon extinguish that, saying we need animals for #meat.
No, we don't.
If meat's wanted.. support #cellag #cellbasedmeat.

Just one hour to go! Thanks to everyone making this project a reality! https://t.co/WOCTbOyALj

This morning, on my walk to the Castlecliff Sunday Market...
A monarch #butterfly on a hedge by the footpath, in the (almost) #Spring sunshine.

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

An hour ago... full-on sunshine at the Sunday #Market at Castlecliff Beach.
#Whanganui

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

An almost empty Castlecliff Beach.
And just visible way up the coast, the gorgeous all-over-white maunga says it really is #winter.
#Whanganui #Taranaki

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

Late afternoon (seven hours ago), and a bit of a wintery feeling walking along the boardwalk beside the gorgeous #Whanganui river today.

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

45 minutes ago.
Rush-hour on Rangiora Street, "downtown" at Castlecliff Beach.

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

Sunshine and flowers at the mouth of the Whanganui River earlier today.

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

Six hours ago, with the sun setting on #WorldOceanDay... two seagulls keeping an eye on the Duncan Pavillion on the #beach at CastlecIiff near #Whanganui.

[Janet M @Non_Gardener]

A garden gone wild.
Three hours ago, not far from the beach at Castlecliff.
