Nature

look to the left
My hands plunge into the water. Subtle perfume arises from the suds and the gentle hint of mint and citrus fill the surrounding air. As I cast my eyes out of our kitchen window, I gaze to the promises and the memories we have created in just over a year.

Nature's Wonders
In the cool of the morning I like to stroll down this smooth pebbled path. It exudes tranquility and calms my spirit. My eyes are captivated by the little patches of daisies and creeping phlox tattered around the edges of the path with fresh dew clinging to them. The pale yellow and deep purple flowers provide an eye pleasing contrast to the hues of the lush green of the forest. my senses are awash with the cool air and the smell of the damp trees. In the still of the morning I can hear the soft crunch of the discarded leaves and pine needles strewn on the path. As I wander on I can hear the forest starting to come to life. The gentle breeze softly shakes the branches, pitter patters of feet start to stir and buzzing wings of various sizes take flight.

Green Means...
Green means go... As in a traffic light, the light turns green and you go. I remember this lesson when learning to drive. Basic!

Dance of the Silver Threads
It was just another day at work, and everything was just as it was the day prior. For the past few days my shifts have thankfully been quite short. A nice and breezy 4 hours each. At the start of this bout of work I found it going by awfully fast, but as the days came and went my focus would wane and those 4 hours seemed to elongate beyond my comprehension. The main reason as to this was due to where I was placed. For each of these shifts, due to the short nature of them, the managerial team placed me behind the till for the entirety of each, allowing those who had been working for longer to get on with other things. Now I would have no issue with this normally, but my patience was straining ever so slightly due to how I had five days of this cycle, the longest amount of consecutive shifts I’ve been on since starting here 2 months ago.

The Beast of Busco
We’ve all heard the stories of the Loch Ness Monster, Champ, Bigfoot, El Chupacabra, and other mythical creatures that are claimed to exist in modern times. Have you, however, heard the one about the massive turtle deemed the “Beast of Busco?”

The Night Hike
This is based on a true story. The sky was clear that night, and the moon was bright. It made no difference what the weather was, rain or shine, they were going on their night hike and no one could tell them not to go. They were teenagers in a small town in the country, and trouble was under every rock and behind every branch.

Night Lights
For most of my life, summer was hot days and cool nights studded with flying stars. I remember the nights the best, when the sun would set, and the sky would darken into that gray haze that softens every shadow and line. The brilliant golds and greens would be replaced by cooler colors. The cut grass seemed less prickly at these times, although that might have been because I was distracted by the sight.

Your relationship to a special tree, park bench, or outdoor spot
The dedication and strength of our community partners and kind sponsors helped us expand our program and undertake projects that we would not otherwise have been able to do. We offer a variety of sponsorship and marketing opportunities each year for just $ 100. Our policy no longer allows us to accept organic inputs, but donors can place special items such as copper stones, granite blocks, posts, and water features.

Thin Ice
Every year my father takes me into Canada to go ice fishing. The trip isn't overly thrilling, especially for a girl of 15 years old. I'd much rather be home spending time with my boyfriend. But my father insists that we should continue this annual trip. He assures me that one day I'll want to carry on the tradition with my children.

My Pledge to Mother Earth
On this World Day, 2021, I picked up tons of everything I could have done differently in my life. I know that with change it is better to seek small steps. so the next thing I promise to be different, I don’t promise to fix it overnight ... but I know I can make this change, and that I promise to try it out in the next five years (maybe soon!).

The Oceans
The seas are amazing and fun. I am a thrower and I enjoy seeing all the plants and fish under the water. The lifespan of the ocean is amazing, so the ocean floor, in turn, back and forth can be a quiet place. I wish I had been dealing with fatigue so that I would never run out of air under the water and stay under the waves forever. Water is everywhere and every minute, there is something good to be sure, fish are like birds and underwater plants, they are found in large quantities and sizes, such as swimming or flooding even if it is underground so it is good for nature everywhere. Tortoises are very large and therefore cracks have become sanctuaries and all kinds of underwater creatures; floods grow into underwater rivers and become beautiful places where underwater plants of thousands of different colors. The sun that flows in the water perfectly illuminates the colors of underwater gardens. Life is good.
