Secrets of the Forest



I used to enjoy going hiking with my family when I was a kid. I learned a lot about the forest and its inhabitants. Even in the cities there is lots of nature. Not only exhaust and hectic. You just have to look for it and create an environment in your living space where Mother Nature can show its wonders.

And don't forget to look up to the sky!

You never know what is happening above you. This is a shot of an osprey gliding along looking for his next meal.

Then again, there are things looking down at us too.

Christmas Shopping time

Hi, everyone.

There hasn't been much happening around the house and in the woods.  I guess Dr. Bernstein, my beloved toad, has gone into hibernation.  He stuck around for some time still, but one day at the beginning of November he disappeared.  I hope to see him next year.

I also find the birds are not very active right now.  They went deeper into the woods.  But the forest is so nice now to walk through.  I love walking on the leaves, between pine cones and stuff.  Looking up to the tree tops makes one feel so small.

So have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Check out Shop for Bargains.  The site is being overhauled, but I have seen a bunch of beautiful collectible items and affordable too.  Totally cool are the calendars about Nature.  These images of dog breeds, birds, horses, and much more, are really beautiful and will bring nature into your or your family and friend's home all year long.  I also love Thomas Kinkade stuff. Have a peak. Maybe you find something there.  There is tons of stuff in toys for kids too, and outdoor gear.

And there is always Astro's Treasure Chest and another one of my favourites sites is Sweet Candy Temptations.  A great selection, and more to come on that site.
