Canadian Geese and their Goslings
In springtime, extended families of geese take over the Ottawa-Gatineau riverbanks, lakesides, and the bike paths that connect the two. They claim this territory in gangs, eating large amounts of grass and leaving wet, green turds wherever they go. Geese are typically vicious, and it is wise to keep your distance. If you are on a bike, best etiquette is to ring your bell and wait for them to clear off the path.

The Most Misunderstood
The wonder that is the Serengeti is something not easily described with words, or even through pictures. When I returned home and attempted to convey my experiences, the closest I came to explaining it was that it feels as if the beginning and the end of the world is there. Every colour, sound, and texture in existence seems to coalesce in that great expanse of land.

Can Shorter Showers Really Make a Difference? Sure!
Where it all begins is debatable Cooperstown, NY is known as the home of the baseball hall of fame. But what is little known and perhaps far more important is that the Cooperstown’s area is where you find the origins of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This massive water shed in centered around the Susquehanna River. The river is named after the Susquehannock or Susquehanna people. Susquehanna means people of the muddy river.

Nature Journal
As I write this it is Sunday 9th May. It is Garden Day in the UK and we are enjoying the calm and serene of our little garden in a town. It isn’t a huge space but, it is a great little space that we are slowly and lovingly building into a tranquil little outdoor space to enjoy as a family of three.

Pressing Matters
My excitement grows as I see the crimson colored liquid begin to ooze through the silky white bag. First it’s just a few slow drops scattered across the wax paper. Then the drops coalesce into puddles, then trickles, until there is a steady stream of nature pouring into my bowl.

The Energy Encounter
Last summer I took a trip to Philadelphia and headed for the Devil Pool hiking trail. I hopped on a bus, got some directions, and started my journey. I was determined to see this epic waterfall that everyone talks so highly about. It was a beautiful summers day and the weather could not be more perfect.

Behind The Lens 🟪📸🟪
Location I was absolutely delighted to escape my quarantine hotel one Wednesday In Sri Lanka, having being invited on Safari to Yala National Park. This was my first time seeing these majestic mammals in the wild and it was a truly magical experience. We had a 2.5 hour car journey to get to the park, where we transferred into a massive open jeep that could comfortably accommodate x6. There was only myself, the guide and the kind Colombian who had invited me as his guest. Absolutely perfect for allowing me to climb around in search of good angles for photographs. Shoes off, crouching, kneeling, hanging out the sides...the roof... you name it I was doing it!

The Girl Who Became a Deer
On the eve of May Day, the day is longer and brighter. The trees still have little green buds and blooms on them that lightly rustle in the wind. It gives off the sweet smell of spring turning into summer that is both fresh and floral.

Kookaburras, Gum Trees, and Snakes!
Kookaburras are absolutely gorgeous Aussi. birds. They laugh like crazy and make me smile. Quite pretty too. It is often said that they warn humans about whether there is rain coming - get your washing in! - and also if there is a snake in the vicinity. Regular little alarm systems.

7 Low Maintenance Indoor Plants that you CAN keep alive
Before I started my plant journey a few years back, I did not think I would be successful. I really thought I couldn’t be that person. You know, the mysterious plant whisperer, who never let a plant die, knows exactly how much water every plant needs and how often, and even knows the right amount of sun needed for the plant to grow and multiply.
