As briefly described – earlier, I am not at all any sort of ‘writer’ for war, or certain war-related activities... Yet, once again I am thrown off balance by Putin, his degenerate generals (leaders) and the f.... up soldiers which they can easily manipulate. How far they can go... Is it limitless? He (Putin and the rest) lives in our world. For years ‘we’ allowed him to sharpen his knife and now we cry at what we boldly created. Who is eviler – Putin or the useless bunch who watched him grow steadily stronger and knew this was going the obvious route and eventual result and it's not stopping even one little bit. I point a finger at the latter, Putin was their puppet. Those who say they knew this would happen and now ‘cry’ at the results, get off your high horse as the blood is actually on ‘your’ hands.

This page is not about war, but wildlife orientated, however, I am unfortunately unable to focus on any positive wildlife info, as I am unable to shake off a recent image of those Bucha atrocities. I am not one to grow emotional or affected by things like that – I acknowledge that terrible activity and its victims, but I slowly move on....

That is my way, but truly unable to shift my attention away from a recent, harrowing image. That image of a man shot off his bicycle, lying face down with a small packet of ‘difficult-to-come-by', really small, and inferior potatoes scattered beside his corpse. That image makes my heart bleed because I can imagine him cycling home to friends and/or family all happy and triumphant in his ability to stave starvation for a moment as he found something substantial to add to their meagre soup for the night.

Then I look at his shoes. Good shoes (tan suede boots), in good condition and clean. I can imagine him lacing them up in the morning before he sets out on his dangerous foraging adventure. What thoughts were in his mind as he brushed them?

So, that is on my mind and those awful and truthful images weigh heavy on my mind (to use a cliché – sorry!). For this reason, I am unable to steer away and change course to write about wildlife. That is too easy and cheap. So, until I can, in a good and healthy way, I am not adding anything as there is far too much sadness in the world, right now. ‘Sadness’ humans created which is powerful enough to affect my mind.



• By the way, my Facebook page is inactive due to Facebook locking it last year, citing ‘security’ issues as someone tried to access my page. Yeah, right.... They can keep it.
