Nature
Peaceful Predator
There are many misconceptions when it comes to the great white shark. These majestic creatures come from a line of species that have been around for millions of years. There's a reason they've been traveling the Earth's waters for that long as they are great survivors and able to adapt to damn near any environment.

SNAIL TIME
I Live on a rock where the sea meets the Earth. My boulder is silver in tone when dry and slate black when wet. I am a Rock Snail, or as you may say -Periwinkle. The ocean's tide is my twin brother and alter-self. For many days I have been trying to tell him of my new concept of time by way of my discrete snail language. With my wet trail, I have been sketching out the figure-eight, infinity symbol relentlessly, only to have him wash over it again and again. I believe he has finally caught on to the meaning and scope of my subliminal messages, as he speaks of it now with enthusiasm to our other siblings, the primal elements.

A Wildlife Haven
Grass that changes colour with the seasons and large boulders of rock has always surrounded the areas I have lived in. Late summer and autumn see a burst of colour of pink, purple, yellow and green whereas the winter shows a blanket of white. A beautiful place in Devon called Dartmoor that’s always bustling with a variety of wonderful wildlife. With 400 square miles, it is known as England’s largest and wildest open space. Basically, untouched by human hands the landscape hasn’t been victim to the industrial nature of our species. Rivers, bogs, woodland and grassland stand proud. The bogs are a haven for wildlife. Among enormous clumps of purple moor grass the white heads of cotton wave in the wind whilst the carnivorous sundews and butterwort make a living of preying on bog insects unlucky enough to fall into their treacherous grasp. Butterflies floating in the air bringing dream-like scenes to life. Dartmoor holds memories and magic for many. From the torrent streams and wooded slopes to the open moor, this landscape is a fantastic place to explore and discover new species. Every moment I have spent up there I’ll always hold very dear to my heart. With the breath-taking view and perfect serenity about the environment you’d find it very difficult to be in a foul mood whilst you are smelling the fresh, purified air.

Lobster is theoretically able to live forever
Have you ever stared at a lobster and wondered curiously what makes a creature look so much like an extraterrestrial visitor? Have you ever wondered what our lives would be like if this creature eventually ruled the Earth? Want to hear some spooky knowledge? Theoretically, from a biological point of view, lobsters can live forever. If they are not predated, not starved, not afflicted by disease, and not involved in any terrible disaster, they can live forever; but they do not.

Beware: Aggressive Elk
The sign said to beware of aggressive elk. I had been warned. I just didn't expect to see them there in the middle of downtown, sprawled across the median, through the street, and over toward the concrete parking lot. They congregated in small clusters, like teenagers loitering at a strip mall. Some seemed to be showing off. Others looked on lazily from the grass.

A day at the Bat Cave
Growing up a “River-rat” on the Tennessee River and Lake Chickamauga in south east Tennessee. being out on the water enjoying nature runs deep in my blood. My wife Lauren grew up, and our sons Brett and Bradley where growing up “City-Slickers” they’ve never really been into going out and doing things in nature or playing in dirty lake water. They will occasionally play in a pool or go for a bike ride. But they have never really had the opportunities or know how to get much more into nature than that. Now living in North Carolina less than a 10 minute drive from Lake Hickory, 45 minutes from Lake Norman, and 20 minutes from Lake Rhodhiss not to mention dozens of mountain rivers and streams within an hours drive. It breaks my heart that my family has never really got to enjoy the great outdoors like I did when I was a child. I decided about two years ago that it was my responsibility as a father to introduce my family to mother nature weather they liked it or not.
