As I knew it would the extraordinarily beautiful Spring we enjoyed this year has turned into a hot dry summer. We are considerably behind in the amount of rainfall we should have accumulated by this point in the summer. I am struggling to keep things alive. To some extent I feel guilty using precious water on the things in my yard; but then again, they aren't just plants. They represent a significant investment of cash which I would hate to have to replace.
However, if rainfall doesn't pick up, there may be no choice. Two years ago Texas lost thousands of mature oaks and other trees in the statewide drought. Memorial Park in Houston was almost deforested because there simply was not enough water for its oaks and pines. Tens of thousands of dollars have been allocated to take down the dead trees and replace them in the iconic park, but the new young trees will not have a chance if the drought continues.
It's too bad some of you who are struggling with floods in the eastern half of the country can't send some of that excess water to those of us who could use it. I'm not a big believer in the theory that man has altered the weather patterns to cause all the extreme weather we are seeing around the world, but there is no doubt we are in the midst of climatic changes on a global scale. The evidence seems to indicate that these climate changes have been cycling for eons.
I don't think we should stick our heads in the sand and do nothing, but I don't think solutions based on political considerations are necessarily actions we should rush into. The hucksters are always ready to enrich themselves at the expense of others. In "global warming" one of the chief hucksters who has made millions for himself is Al Gore, the former Vice President. Seemingly Gore would like the rest of us to freeze of swelter in the dark while he surrounds himself with personal luxuries of every kind imaginable. Evidently he became such an ethically bankrupt mountebank that even his wife could no longer stand him.
I'm a firm believer in karma. What goes around comes around, so Gore and those like him who profit from human misery will get their comeuppance In the mean time, all of us should appreciate the beauty in the world around us and do what we can to preserve it.
I have always enjoyed and appreciated the beauty of the human male body. The pictures I have chosen for the July 15th set celebrate that beauty. I hope you enjoy and appreciate it too.
Man As Art
George found several artsy type pictures this month. I'm a sucker for such pictures, so I found several of them I really liked. I hope you like them too.

Barnes is proof positive that a guy doesn't have to be less than 30 years old to be good looking. He couldn't be more appealing.

Well, George Starzz continues to do such a good job sending me pictures that I keep going over my self allotted 50. For some reason, none of you seem to mind though.
Enjoy the guys, I'll see you back here on August 1st I hope for more of Jack's Hot Guys.
Take care of yourselves.

A very enjoyable and, yes, beautiful in the artsy sense, series of pics. Ray tells us, also, that the rain has arrived in Texas1! Hope your plants will benefit and the trees in the park take off.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the second half of the july group.
DeleteWe have gotten a little rain, but not near enough. Ray, up in Dallas, has gotten much more than we, so they are definitely benefiting.
Jack
As usual a great assortment of well developed males are found on your site. I find #19 to be especially enjoyable...two men, one seated with a cut cock and a very rounded head on his cock, the other standing, appears to be uncut and has a magnificent pointed and tapered dick. The contrast is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and hope the rain we are having here stops over your way...We are well ahead for the year I understand.
Again, Thanks!!!
Yep, I agree with you. The couple in picture #19 are awesome.
DeleteAs you may have heard me say, I had an extraordinary sexual relationship with my wife. I could not have possibly enjoyed it more. I think my bisexuality is almost totally based on the beauty I find and appreciate in the male penis. Sex with my male partners never approached the level of sex with my wife.
I think it is evidence that we are all very different. Just because we are gay or bi does not really put us in the same circumstance.
Jack
Jack,
DeleteI have to agree with you. We are all different, but it is very hard to deny the sheer power of the penis!
Chad
Very good looking guys. The kind you can lose a load or two for. Your my bi-weekly fix, thank you for bringing all that male beauty into my world.
ReplyDeleteAnother sensational selection of sexy guys! You and George do a wonderful job! Trust you drop by my blog occasionally. Hugs, Patrick
ReplyDeleteThanks Patrick. George has been doing an awesome job of providing me pictures to consider. I have several other sources, but in the last few months I have not used them at all since George is supplying everything I need.
DeleteI have to admit, that my total time on line has decreased markedly since the Spring. I try to say outside as much as possible, but I do keep up with a few of the blogs I like including yours.
Jack
Some very, very lovely photos again, Jack!
ReplyDeleteThe drought in the SW indeed is continuing. Sad, but I don't see any solutions. Wildfires, seaquakes, and volcano's all have an effect on weather patterns. Heat, smoke, and ash all rising into the atmosphere, of course, change the jet streams. Seaquakes (and earthquakes near seas) cause tsunami's which change the the flows of warm, temperate, and cold waters which also has an effect on weather patterns. China building that humongous dam and filling the huge gorge as a reservoir literally caused the axis (tilt) of the planet to shift - which also changed expected weather patterns. The bulk may not be humankind, but we certainly do unwittingly contribute.
Anyway - thanks for the bi-monthly VisionFest!
Well there is no doubt that patterns have changed and I'm sure the causes are complex.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the "VisionFest."
