Plants found on salt marshes
There are very few environments that do not support plant life of some kind, although some places are more challenging than others. Salt marshes, which are low-lying coastal areas in estuaries and harbours that are flooded at high tide but exposed at low tide, make special demands of any plant that chooses to colonize them, but there are several plant species that have become particularly successful at so doing because they can tolerate a high level of salt in the water at their roots. In return, they have become an important part of the ecology of these areas.

The Wary Eyed Grazer
We sat upon a small knoll overlooking the lands of Yellowstone National Park. It was a cool spring day. The snow began to melt. The land still wet. The day was young. All we had was time. Two brothers in heart but not in blood venturing in to the wilds of Wyoming. Then we heard it. The sound of hooves. Many hooves. Tromping across the land.

Unleash you imagination and set it free.
Everything I create starts with one simple idea and always ends up taking on a life of its own. I have many hobbies that bring me great satisfaction, but I am the happiest when I can take a plain shelf sized piece of wood plain or stained (makes no difference.) Then get out my scissors and my glue gun and let my imagination take off running.

Listening to the Earth - creating our reality
Eight years ago we began a journey of following intuition. As artists, a creative outlet has always been present in our lives, but after a big move closer to our home town with no solid jobs lined up, we turned to nature to help alleviate the stress and anxiety that came with feeling "irresponsible". We are a couple, we're best friends, and we're a team, we always have been. Each time the stress creeped up on us, we found extreme relief hiking deep into the forest behind our house. The scenery, the fresh air, everything about the forest was really what we needed at the time.

Birds: The White Sea Eagles of Parramatta
Unsplash - Joshua Hoehne And so the devastation of life on earth continues, but this time it is the avian life form that seeks the limelight in the worst possible way. I read the article “Who is saving the great birds of Sydney” by John Huxley in Saturdays’ newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” dated Saturday, March 14–15 2009.

Seagulls
Many people, particularly mariners do not like seagulls. The reason? Superstitions. A seagull at sea it is said, carries a sailor’s soul and the screech of the bird is the mournful cry of the dead person. Do not touch the gull to avoid injury to the deceased person is another mariners superstition.
