Where do YOU stand? Share a six-word story about your place or location (and maybe we can even guess where it is?!) Feel free to add art or be creative with your six word story.

I wrote one about the city I call home:

Rain always near: dear green place

3-30-300 rule⤴

from

During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge.

Glasgow is called Dear Green Place, and looking around where I live in the suburbs you can see why. Today’s TDC says that:

3-30-300 is an urban forestry concept which states that every resident should be able to see at least 3 mature trees from their home, live in a neighbourhood with at least 30% tree canopy cover, and be within 300 metres of a high-quality green space. Make a version of this rule for an online community, or show us an example of it from where you live.

Here’s the view from my bedroom window this morning – so many trees – apple, plum, lilac, rowan. Yesterday I counted 14 sparrows sitting on a branch on one of them. Sitting here in my study on a drizzly day I everything looks green through the window and the berries on the rowans are gleaming.
