This one little bird makes it officially spring for me!... Migrating birds are truly amazing. Like clockwork, they show up again in spring after a long winter. For years I would hear a robin begin to sing in my city backyard exactly on March 30.

Their clear notes that echo on the winter landscape as they sing to … [Read more...]

At this time of the cycles, now Autumn in the northern hemisphere, the scents are pungent, rich and earthy... I love walking in Nature where there's shrubs and trees, in the trails of a forest or wooded area... The fallen leaves provide a natural protective humus layer that decomposes and becomes a compost of nutrients for countless organisms... The scents of … [Read more...]
