March is the month of flowers, in the northern hemisphere, of the force of nature in always overcoming the challenges that the mineral world presents to you. The force of beauty to flood the fields, plains or mountains, valleys or land by the sea. We are all to be congratulated for seeing these colors emerge on the horizon and this is a source of joy for all who are born this month, including the author of this blog.

We see, then, astonished, the wild coloring exposed in the following video, by Thomas Blanchard, published on Valentine's Day, 2018.

"Dance Dance"

From an artistic point of view, the flowers are represented in the 4 seasons.

The fire for the fall, ice for the winter, fast hatching (timelapses) for the spring and color inks for the summer.

Taking into account the International Literary Contest "Nature 2017-2018" we would like to stress the importance of the forest for today and our future.

Thank you.

It is with great joy that we announce the beginning of the International Literature Contest "Nature 2017-2018", which this year runs from 1 December 2017 to 1 April 2018. On 19 April are announced the pre-finalists and the April 28 the main winners.
We refer to joy in this announcement because this is the reunion of all of us in this adventure that has one of its great objectives to raise awareness for the protection of nature. A reunion between friends. This year, for example, California fires have made climate change evident. The suffering of the people was enormous and to note the replacement of a green cloak by the color of ash, it is sad. In the world, the fact that the concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere are at very high levels can only make us aware.
It is time to act, so here is also the invitation to participate in this contest and then the conditions of participation and other details.
