  1. Janet Holt – Bald Head Island, NC – I am on a journey of discovery. One that involves discovering the world around me and discovering myself. I have found that using a camera is making this process of discovery much more enjoyable. I trust you will enjoy it as well. My passion for all animals knows no bounds, but it is the parrot that has caught my heart! I am now involved in a campaign to help bring parrots in the wild back into their normal existence! The Indonesian Parrot Project is first on my list, and with a little help from our friends we will bring the Abotti Cockatoo back into a full, strong life in their natural habitat.

  2. heavenhappens – Welcome to my life. You can share my grown up world here at http://heavenhappens.me where I blog my thoughts, my life, my travels, my photographs and my poetry. Growing up just after the war was a grim experience. So, now that I have 7 grandchildren, I am reclaiming my childhood by seeing the world anew through their eyes. Every minute I spend with them is magical. So this blog is for them ~ Ben, Rosie, Tiffany, Stanley, Thea, Mateo, and the youngest, Olivia! I hope, when they are all grown up, they will enjoy reading it and finding out about their grandma’s life, and know how very happy they made her. I hope you enjoy reading my posts, leave a comment or a link and I will get back to you. I’m sorry to say that my darling husband died of Covid on Good Friday 2020. Since then the wind has gone out of my sails and I’ve hardly written a thing. I will try to pick up my life and start writing again one day. But for now please enjoy exploring my life🕊️

    Lovely, the trees look ponderous and the words express it beautifully.

  5. I like this, it reminds of North Yorkshire near Hardwood not far from where I live. I was there this morning and the trees are in the same state of undress and the sky and clouds were the same. Nice one.

  13. Dr. Denny Wilkins – Dr. Denny Wilkins professes journalism at a small, private university in the Northeast. He has climbed, hiked, kayaked, photographed, skied, and otherwise meandered aimlessly throughout the American West for decades. He has degrees in geology, environmental studies, and communication — and has tried to make use of them as a co-founder of the progressive cultural blog ScholarsandRogues.com. He’s broadly interested in how the world works and why it works that way. He hates writing, although he does like having written well.

    Again, you have made me homesick for New England. This is the landscape in which I matured.

  14. seapunk2 – Thinker of thoughts, ordinary woman capable of extraordinary things, and idea person, creative and often holding a unique, unusual or surprising perspective. Strong personality, yet sensitive at heart. Mother, wife, guardian to three equines, seven rabbits, dog, and cat. It's my privilege to be living in the coastal area of the Pacific Northwest, among glorious monuments of the natural world, which seemingly never end. I've lived to fulfill my wonder and curiosity of the world, having created situations throughout life, simple and complex, which served to enhance my knowledge, experience and creative opportunities. I laugh easily! Contrary to popular opinions, heartaches did not make me the person I am. I am the person I am, in spite of the heartaches. This is my gift.

  15. mrsjacoby19 – I'm a Shreveport Native. One of my life's love, is the love of writing poetry. I particularly like to write realistic poetry. Poetry that deals with everyday life. Poetry that dives into the emotions, as well as the psyche of a person. Some topics may include, love as it partains to, relationships. Whether that be, marital, co-habitating,parental, spiritual, etc. This is my passion and I embrace it whole heartedly.

  17. Mary Mageau – Queensland, Australia – I am a writer and nature photographer, living in a small rural village in the Samford Valley. Here on Australia’s east coast, surrounded by the Brisbane State Forest Park and four rugged mountains, I enjoy exploring new and creative ways to engage with the natural world that surrounds me. My husband and I often roam around Australia as we visit the outback and cities of interest. Our favourite destinations also include the islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean. With my notebook, pen and camera at hand, I’ve enjoyed researching and photographing amazing places and scenery, together with the stunning flowers and foliage found in these unique parts of our world. This blog―Nature as Art and Inspiration―has developed through my love of writing and travel.

  19. Don MacIver, Writer, Poet, RPA – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – A resident of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada since 1987, I am located on the southwestern coast and immediately north of the Washington state border. I hold a lifetime Real Property Administrator (RPA) professional designation in the property/facility management industries spanning over thirty years. My studies were administered by the At the end of 2012, I retired from the industry to pursue other opportunities. Canadian and International Building Owners & Managers Institute with formal examinations through the Simon Fraser University of Vancouver, BC, Canada. In 2001 I came to realize that life fulfillment meant so much more than just income and having enjoyed a successful 28-year career in property management services, I looked internally to explore and discover through creative writing, specifically poetry, prose, and lyrical verse. This newfound love of writing was a natural progression for me as I had spent my entire career writing professionally to engage, inform, inspire, and move client groups to responsive action. With poetry, reader engagement and response has been a tremendous part of my life, unimpeded by any sort of mental block at any stage of the creative process. The focus of my writing leans strongly to the romantic side while also very strongly influenced by my love and connection with nature and the stunning beauty of so much of the planet. Most often, I incorporate high-resolution photographic images to enhance the reader experience. I am also a freelance editor, proofreader, line editor, grammatical and structural editor of author book manuscripts and publishing services.
    Don MacIver, RPA, author, poet says:

    This brings back wonderful memories of my homeland. In my youth I used to marvel at the corn as it would rise from the clay soil and grow taller than I. It sounds simple but to a young boy experiencing life amidst surrounding farmlands it became much more than idle curiosity. I would walk between the rows, somehow comforted in its hiding…my mother had fits unable to see me on occasion…the adventure became well worth the periodic scolding afterward!
