MY TAKE; doses of Wild YAM : Menoturals; Floraleye 5 + First Friday Filmclub

It's Nature Friday on Thursday time again, and I am short on photographic supply. What I will do for January and February is keep it very simple. A single photo each week to keep Rosy (and Sunny) smiling and bring a little bit of summer into these deep winter days.

Today is also First Friday, and I can share a trailer clip for a film I watched recently that is 100% suitable as a Nature Friday candidate!

Many of you will mostly know Rachel Ward from the days of The Thorn Birds, where she met and married the actor Brian Brown. This film tells how the farm they bought together, mainly as a hobby/holiday place, has become her passion. In this amazing story, we learn about Regenerative Farming - which is, for all intents and purposes, a return to the methods of centuries past, but with science to support and ratify it.

This independent Australian-produced movie was available to me on BBC iPlayer in the UK. However, if you cannot access that, you may find it on something like BritBox or whatever channel you can access documentaries. In some areas, it may also be available on Amazon. What I will say to you is - CHASE IT DOWN! There is everything to love about this tale of working with nature rather than seeking to dominate it.

Thanks for sharing this very important message, YAM. Now, if only we could inspire a truly global movement. I had a shot of early morning inspiration today.

Loved Thorn Birds so I will hunt down Rachael's Farm and I love the beautiful Astilbe♥

I watched the trailer and will look for the film. I'm filled with admiration for Rachel and the hard work she's taken on. Living in the country, I see first hand what climate change has brought and it has in some ways changed me too.

That looks like an intersting documentary, but so far I can't find any way to watch it in the USA.

Wow! What a big project, it's interesting to see how farming also needs to be cultivated in a way to prevent climate change!

Rosy and I thank you for the beautiful pink burst of color today!

Lovely pink flowers - astilbe maybe? Such a soft color. The Thorn Birds was a favorite book of mine, and I enjoyed the film as well. That is one fine project. Will have to catch the film.

That flower is indeed heartwarming. And Rachel's farm is a delightful treat.
