I love nature! It’s so nice to look at the various landscapes around the world. I wish nature liked me. Allergies are the devil, I tell you. So when I’m feeling like appreciating nature in all its glory, I tend to look for a man that is in tune with it. Kinda like this guy.
Or maybe even this one.
Is it hot in here? Or is it just him? Haha.
Another thing I like to do–after loading up on the allergy meds– is to find someplace serene, grab my Kindle, and read.
Need something to read? On top of the book I donated to the Nook and the book I donated as a prize for the bloghop, I will also pick two comments from this post and those people will receive their choice from my back list in electronic format. Gotta keep it green! ๐
Also, keep a look out for my upcoming Ellora’s Cave release, Seductive Reunion. I should have a release date for it soon. ๐
So, what do you like to do to celebrate Earth Day?
Best wishes,
Virginia Cavanaugh
I try to be green all year round by recycling and driving a fuel efficient car. I don;t do much to actually celebrate the day.
Recycling is a good thing to do. ๐
Planting flowers can be fun. Good way to spend time with the kids. ๐
I recycle and my kids enjoy planting flowers as well. Have a good earth day as well.
Mmm, I’m enjoying your scenery here, Virginia! I think you’re right, grabbing an e-reader and curling up is a great way to celebrate Earth Day.
Love reading and enjoying the sunshine. ๐ Glad you enjoyed the pics.
We just try and take time go for a walk, or just sit outside in the backyard and enjoy the day, maybe putter around in the flower beds.
Awesome! I love going for walks too. ๐
I like to go for a hike. Somewhere in the woods, away from people, just the trees and fresh air to clear my head. Hmm… come to think of it, I should do that more often.
Happy Earth Day! Great to see you on the Hop circuit again =)
*Waves to Alianne* I should do it more often too. ๐
I have a little note on my fridge that says “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without.” Not wasting what we have is easier than trying to scrounge from the ashes, right? Thank you for the cool images – and imagery.
Waste not, want not! Glad you enjoyed. ๐
I like to go somewhere quiet, with a good book and read. Usually I have to take a couple books because with no one to bother me the books just seem to get gobbled up.
I hear you. When left alone, I can read really fast. LOL
Beautiful scenery to celebrate the day!! My family bought a windowbox and we’re going to plant seeds in it to celebrate!
Sounds like a fun thing to do. ๐
Great pics! I’m planning to do some spring cleaning and yard work this weekend and maybe go for a bike ride. Happy Earth Day!
We have yard work on the agenda as well this weekend. ๐
Love the pictures…My family and I do a lot of stuff to help out..I have always wanted to own my own garden to grow things on my own..
I’ve always wanted to have a garden too, but I seem to have a brown thumb instead of a green one, LOL
we have a garden every year. Can and freeze love that jam and jelly on a cold winter day on hot biscuit. Yummmm
Gardens are neat. ๐
My family does beach clean up day. It’s amazing what people throw in our waterways that make it to the Pacific Ocean.
Oh, wow. I bet you find all kinds of interesting things, LOL.
We plant a small bunch of flowers…its not much but it adds up over the years!!

Yes, that they do. ๐
I’ll be reading lots of ebooks to celebrate Earth Day as well as gardening. Happy Earth Day!

Have fun reading!
Nice post. We’ll be planting flowers. Happy Earth Day!
Hope you have fun. ๐
We do lots of outside activities. I try to plant our flowers and just have fun outside.

It’s always nice to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. ๐
I like to plant a new tree!
I love trees. I have a thing for red buds. ๐
Planting an herb garden and reading an ebook. Nice pictures. ๐
Glad you enjoyed. ๐
This year we are planting some trees to replace ones that were lost in the May tornado. We are also going to put up a couple of birdhouses for our feathered friends. Have a happy Earth Day.

I’m so sorry you received damage in the tornado. But I’m glad you are safe and able to replant now. ๐
Great pictures. Thats definitely a way to get in tune with nature! ๐ Im not really doing much for Earth day. I plan to read a good book on the porch but thats about it. I like to go to serene places too. So peaceful and beautiful! Thank you for the awesome hop and giveaway! ๐

Reading on the porch sounds relaxing. Thanks for taking the tour. ๐
I love finding a quite place to read. What I’ve noticed at my house though is that children that have disappeared to avoid being told to do something useful or finish their schoolwork suddenly appear when I step out for a bit of fresh air and quiet. You’d think they’d stop when I start to give them things to do.
Isn’t that the way of it though, LOL.
I would seriously become a tree hugger if he got to stand in the middle lol.

Yeah, LOL, puts a whole new meaning.
We have adopted a highway, so we’ll be picking up trash and rubbish.
Happy Earth Day to All.
Several people around my home town are doing this as well. ๐
Whenever Earth Day rolls around, it reminds me to get started with flowers and any vegetables. So typically that’s the day I start to organize what’s going to get planted and where.
Of course, if that first guy was leaning up against a tree outside my house, I might just spend the day admiring him! I mean, that can count as celebrating Earth Day. Well at least that’s what I choose to believe!
Thanks!
Yes, I agree. ๐
Happy Earth Day! Thanks for the giveaways.
We will be cleaning up the front yard (triming the bushes and pick up any trash), then a picnic at the park so Colin, my 2 yr old grandson, can swing swing swing!!!
I hope you have a wonderful time. ๐
In celebration of Earth Day this year, my teenager and I are going to plant seeds in cups and outside in our planters…I just haven’t told her this yet. Wish us luck!

Good luck! ๐
For us it is getting in touch with nature. We visit parks all year round, not just earth day. We take bag to pick up trash as we walk any trails. You have to take care of your environment as well as recycle too.
Those are great ways. ๐
Happy Earth Day! Love your blog, Virginia. ๐
Thanks, Dawn. ๐
We celebrate an unplugged day. No tv, no laundry, no driving. We plan to ride our bikes to the park for a family picnic.

I hope you have a good time! ๐
I spend the day reading ebooks and spending the day outside soaking up nature.

Sounds awesome to me. ๐
I don’t really do anything special, just continue with the things I do like reading ebooks, using reusable water bottles & shopping bags, trying to reuse/recycle/repurpose as much as possible, using florescent type light bulbs, etc.

We use the light bulbs too, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much money we have saved in electricity since we switched. ๐
Well, I didn’t really celebrate or do anything special…but I did work in the yard a bit. ๐ Happy Earth Day!

That’s what we are doing today. ๐
Taking a Prius full of cardboard to the recycling center, and enjoy gifts of nature like the gentlemen in the pics you posted,
Hope you have fun. ๐
I recylcle and reuse all the time and love the pieces of eye candy you posted to keep it all in perspective!
Glad you enjoyed! ๐
