Happy Mother's Day

Mabel, Wild Sable Island Horse

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers in the world, including the Mothers in the animal kingdom. This morning I awoke thinking about Mabel, my Wild Sable Island friend that lived at Two Rivers Wildlife Park until she passed at the age of over 30 years old. She also had me thinking about the Wild Sable Island Horses giving birth in the silent grace and beauty of nature at Sable Island, Nova Scotia, being blessed to become Mothers to their precious foals. I so loved Mabel with her wild but kind and kindred spirit. She gave me hope there are kind souls untethered by injustice in this world. Maria Lisa Polegatto

A View of the Ocean

A View of the Ocean at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, travel must see.

When I see this view, I know I am in for a memorable day, away from the stresses of the world. While it offers many delights of nature, it is also a reminder of the power of the ocean and how we need to keep our ocean environment sustainable for marine life and ultimately our own.

Purple is not just a color, it is a feeling, an emotion, an energy divine.

"Tundra" the Reindeer

Reindeer are not just for Christmas season.....they live with us all year round. You can hear a reindeer walking as their hooves go clickity-clackity just like in the Christmas carol but they don't need to be "up on the rooftop" for it to happen. Did you know that when their antlers are furry, it means their antlers are growing? The antlers fall off each year over winter and grow back again in spring. When the furry felt falls off it is nutritious for other animals. And their antlers are full of nutrients too. Thank a reindeer today for helping keep nature's circle of life alive and well where they survive the perils of nature to benefit the ecosystem. Maria Lisa Polegatto

Basking Shark Bone

Every trip to the ocean shows a different face to nature. This weekend I found this rather bone like item that had washed up along the shore in low tide. I sent it into MARS - Marine Animal Response Society of Nova Scotia, and it appears it may be a Basking Shark bone. It is quite interesting indeed at 20" long along the outer curve. I am always amazed at how and what the ocean brings to land upon the shoreline. While this is interesting, it is also a bit sad to see as it once was part of a living mammal.

Celebrating the Earth

In anticipation of Earth Day, April 22nd, I hiked at the ocean to enjoy the delights nature holds in store, from the sea foam along the shoreline, to finding a favorite purple rock, to seeing the water is still flowing at the gut and seeing that other people are collecting trash at the ocean too! Thank you!

Do you see the image in the white of the rock? A man's face looking back at you! Whoever said rocks and nature is not alive, is wrong! Nature is what, or should I say, who, sustains us :)

Seafoam along the ocean shoreline as the waves wash upon the rocks.

The water is still flowing at the ocean through the gut to allow the fish to swim between the ocean and lake.

I found the perfect rock at the ocean - purple, white and even has an image of a man in the white. Who said rocks are not alive is wrong!

Earth Day - so happy to see other people are picking up trash at the ocean too!
