As a child my family adventures included camping in Algonquin Park in Ontario. Algonquin is a place of many different ecosystems and animal life – moose, deer, bear and wolves. Hiking 🥾 took us through so many different places of beauty and wonder. The tree tops touched the skies, the tree roots showed strength as they held on along the river banks. More so, determination as new saplings grew out of the crack in the rock. As I have gotten older, and the world is more noisy, nature is my place of peace. I am a tree hugger & supporter. I plant trees instead of buying flowers. I sit by cascading waterfalls and along river beds for solitude. There is nothing else that can bring about this instant peace. I love and protect pollinators, turtles, penguins for my daughter, and wolves. We will continue to migrate more to natural areas as we near our retirement age.
