Around four hundred trees in the forest have been formed with a 90° horizontal bend in it’s trunk before rising vertically again. The trees are believed to be about eighty years old and although there is no explanation for this freak of nature one widely held belief is that the trees were shaped this way by human hands (possibly by carpenters wanting to use the wood for furniture making).

They’re smelly, brainless, and pathetic
But only video-games get their fingers energetic.
They watch TV until they get a headache
And wonder why life won’t give them a break.

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
- Irish Blessing

A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by people like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She’s not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6)

My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6)

This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly, age 6)

If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don’t have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (Bobby, age 7)

When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn’t blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7)

I’m not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can’t think what to write. (Amy, age 6)

Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves in to chargers. (Christopher, age 7)

The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don’t drown I don’t know. (Bobby, age 6)

My dad was a sailor on the ocean . He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn’t know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom. (James, age 7)

Her grandmother had a cousin
living in Niagara Falls that year. She told the family that she and her neighbors woke up in the night feeling something was wrong.

It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise.  They had all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the falls.  Amazing pictures!  Almost 100 years old.  Can you imagine walking on Niagara falls ?

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty,
and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators,
normally considered the ‘apex predator,’ can still fall
victim to implemented ‘team work’ strategy,
made possible due to the tight knit social structure
and ‘survival of the pack mentality’ bred into the canines.

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine.

Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it
from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it
from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

Not for the squeamish!
