Delightful surprises of Nature!... It's so easy to overlook things in our environment that we get used to seeing. We might see the same species of birds, mammals, trees or plants and not really notice them anymore, since they're no longer a novelty... I tend to do that in urban areas, but when I'm out in Nature, I always see things with wonder - as if seeing them for the first time. Even if I've seen Chickadees, Oak trees or Squirrels hundreds of times, I still delight in every one I … [Read more...]

Winter's miraculous wonders... This gorgeous butterfly, known as a Milbert's tortoiseshell does something that is truly amazing for butterflies... It actually hibernates as an adult in Canada's freezing winter temperatures, by freezing completely!... Several species of this family of butterflies all do this... They find a sheltered location like a crevice in a tree, rock pile or buildings, to protect their fragile wings from the weather elements. Then they perch there and go dormant and … [Read more...]

Artists of Nature... With the trees being bare of leaves, the birds' nests that were built in the spring and summer are now clearly visible. During my Nature hike today I noticed this beautifully woven nest hanging 40 feet above me in a tree (most likely the intricate work of a Baltimore Oriole). As I admired it, I was reminded of all the incredible artists of our natural world... to name a few... So many birds are expert weavers for their nests to withstand the weather's elements... … [Read more...]

Sweet plumeria... While I love all flowers, I've always especially loved the red hibiscus flower and orchids. Then during my stay on the Big Island of Hawai'i for a few months, this species of plumeria unexpectedly became my favourite flower on the island!... The tree itself is so pretty, with a gentle and loving energy. When I went on my sunrise hikes every morning, I coincided my water breaks to be in locations where these trees grew along the road and deeply inhaled the so lovely … [Read more...]

Sacred observations... When we take a pause of the continuous doing of life, and simply observe with wonder, curiosity and openness, we receive the wealth of reminders that Nature conveys to us... Taking this photograph for example, imagine yourself in that beautiful space... The breeze is caressing you and playing with your hair... The sun is kissing your skin... The air is scented with sunshine and ocean salt... The waves are rolling in and out as a sea turtle basks in the sunshine... … [Read more...]

Tree Beings, including the "Wise Ones"... While I greatly love ALL trees... when I encounter the "Wise Ones" that are so ancient compared with the lifespan of humans, I'm always left in awe... their energy is so tangible and vast... When we think about all the stories they hold from ages past... This one I'm hugging in the photograph is "Gog" near Glastonbury, UK... "Magog" also stands proudly beside it... Both are ancient Oak beings and are related with the legends of King … [Read more...]

Sense of wonder... I have no doubt in my mind (and heart) that animals have just as much a sense of wonder and beauty as we do... I've seen many different species looking at beautiful sunsets, just gazing without moving,... simply fully in the moment, looking mesmerized... I've seen many different species looking up at the brilliantly shining moon and sing or howl for no apparent reason except to express awe... I've seen many different species leisurely walk through a meadow of … [Read more...]
