Never allow your wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of others and live simply so others may simply live
My Pledge to the Readers of this Blog
The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.
I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.
I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.
I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.
As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.
I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.
Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.

Beautiful series Dee, I particularly like the rippling water reflections, they are gorgeous... good to see that turtles are surviving too... There's a town in southeast Pennsylvania named Radnor, am going to have to look up Radnor to see if they're both named after the same person or place ?
I am so glad that area has been preserved and protected. It is such a trnquil place....wonderful shots...the water is like mercury....
Owen, Radnor Lake is a local treasure. (As you might guess, from Dee's photos). Harris Ridge, which overlooks the lake is a bone of contention. How to keep people from buying the ridge, and building obnoxiously big houses. I hope that doesn't happen, of course.
As for Radnor, Pennsylvania, I googled it, and it looks like another really nice place to escape to.
Wow Dee! These are wonderful. And that deer is spectacular. Alert but not fearful of your presence. Sometimes, photos tell more about the photographer than the subject. The deer seems to accept your proximity. And the water ripples are amazing. I love them and could get lost in them for hours. How great they would look printed out and mounted as a series on a wall. I am there with you in spirit!!
The name Radnor Lake came from the L&N Radnor Yards. The lake was built to provide water for steam engines at Radnor Yards some three miles away via gravity fed pipes. The name Radnor came from a nearby college for women. Radnor College was established by A.N. Eshman in 1905. Though no one really knows for sure, it is believed that Eshman named the college after Radnor Township near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The famous women's school, Bryn Mawr, is located there. So, Owen, there is a possible connection.
