Why We Should Enjoy Rainy Days

Before
After

1. The Sun and rain give plants chemical energy. Animals eat plants, storing the chemical energy. Then we eat animals and we get the chemical energy. Without rain with wouldn't be alive!

2. Rain falls in oceans, lakes and other bodies of water. We collect the water from there, next its filtered and we drink it. Without rain we wouldn't be alive!

3. Rain helps nature grow! Without rain we wouldn't have the beauty of nature to enjoy and blog about.

So next time you bring your umbrella outside and say "Rain, rain go away" or "Man, I wish it never rained!" think again about this post. The images above were copied from a website that they are purposed to be copied.

Possible Wing Injury

Today, unfortunately as my dad was driving me to school, he had hit a hawk. He had slammed the breaks but we still hit it. It was very young so it was a weak flier, so it couldn't fly over the car fast enough. We pray that it wasn't injured or killed, as we came home we looked around but there was no sign of it. We both feel horrible for our accident, hopefully it only got hit on the edge of it's wing so it wont be injured as severely as it would if we hit a different part of it's body.

Goodbye,

First Day of Spring

Spring is the best time of year for both nature and the many people that love it. From buds blooming, to birds building their nest, mid-May is the best time of Spring. That's why we go to Point Pelee National Park on the May long weekend to enjoy nature and Pelee at its best. This late march we're moving to Oshawa in a beautiful house with a bare back yard, perfect for starting a bird garden. Our next door neighbours and also very fond of birds, maybe we can have permission to take photos of birs in each others yards. Maybe, we can also "connect" bird gardens. A swampy forest habitat is nearby our house and hopefully my dad and I we be able to bird in it. The photos above are from the cruise we went to last November. Anyway, I'm trying to make this last week in Breslau last by scattering mixed seed on our deck railing, but few birds are coming to check it out, oh well. Lately I've been getting fewer comments so if you read my blog, please comment and spread the word, I love to answer any questions you may have relating to nature. After all that is my blog title.

Goodbye,
