OK... I am on a rant!

I am so tired of all you "nature lovers" who leave trash laying around.
Yes, I am talking to you... fishermen, boaters, bikers, runners, those of you out with the family for a picnic or walking the dog or just enjoying the fresh air.
Show a little respect for the land, the creatures and those of us who walk in your tracks.

And who knows how many animals are harmed by your fishing line, broken glass, batteries, plastic and styrofoam bits and whatever else you leave on the land and in the water.

Think your garbage is harmless? Watch this: http://vimeo.com/25563376

I go out to shoot nature and inevitably have to clone out trash from my photos.

So now in my car I carry rubber gloves and garbage bags to pick up after you who cannot pick up after yourselves!
And trust me, I would rather be shooting (photos, that is!) than picking up YOUR garbage!

And interestingly enough... there are trash receptacles throughout the park areas!
How about using them and saving me some work! And save the wildlife that is at our mercy. After all, they were here first!
