It's about an Eagle, a school of Caplin and a Minke whale
This is a grand day for another post. In this post I will talk about how I came up with the inspiration of a bald eagle, a school of caplin and a Minke whale for my new children's book - Our Environment's Friends.
On my first trip out cod jigging with my friend Jeffery, last summer, we had a bald eagle perched on a cliff observing our every move. No doubt hoping for us to provide it with its next meal. We didn't disappoint this majestic bird. One of us caught a sculpin. Before it had a chance to disappear back into the watery depths we heard a mighty swoosh above our heads. The bird, with its six foot wing span, sailed dangerously close to our heads and scooped up its prey in its grasping talons - off to feast on its tasty morsel upon its lookout roost.
Caplin roll in on the beaches in places like Middle Cove Beach and Caplin Gulch in Sandy Cove, NL. Children and adults alike love to head to the beach and try to catch a meal of these delicious 'smelt like' fish when they roll in to spawn. I caught some last summer at Caplin Gulch and enjoyed a fine meal - compliments of our bountiful ocean.
Later, that same summer, when we were out cod jigging again, we were given a real treat by two Minke whales intent on feasting on the school of caplin surrounding them. Sometimes they would surface so close to us we worried we might hook one. Other times they would come up and blow a little farther away. Catching codfish and watching the frolicking whales - our environment provided all the entertainment one could ask for.
When I wrote about the eagle in my book it was not as fortunate as the one we saw while cod jigging.
Catching caplin, for the children in the story, was still a real treat. But for Joel and his Grandpa a walk on the beach was no treat for them. Neither did it turn out that way for the Minke whale.
The next post will be about a puffin patrol rescue and a Toronto Maple Leafs quandary.
As mother always said "When you show kindness to someone it comes back to you tenfold." Please be kind to our environment and don't litter.
Cheers
Considering exploring movement through creative practice, I would want to understand a few concrete details before deciding what matters most. Trying the same movement at a different pace can reveal how rhythm changes its character. I would connect Academiededanseclassique with dance and movement practice through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. A simple comparison would help me picture the differences without rushing towards a fixed answer. Which exercises help a beginner connect movement with musical timing?
The idea of making everyday business processes clearer gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. A simple record of responsibilities can prevent a task from being passed around without an owner. That thought gives me a starting point for exploring practical business organisation in connection with Apcomgroup. I am still thinking through the practical side, because the context can change what seems useful. Which part of a routine process would you make clearer first?
I find planning travel with room for discovery easier to approach when there is a familiar situation to start from. Leaving space between activities can make a journey more enjoyable than filling every hour. I would connect Uletay with thoughtful travel planning through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. How would you balance a few planned stops with time to explore?
I find making everyday business processes clearer easier to approach when there is a familiar situation to start from. A simple record of responsibilities can prevent a task from being passed around without an owner. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about Myobatlas and practical business organisation. That is the part I would keep thinking about after moving on to something else. Which part of a routine process would you make clearer first?
The idea of following curiosity through everyday information gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. A clear question can turn a casual interest into something easier to explore. I would connect Maxxsoul with Maxxsoul learning ideas through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. I would rather explore one useful example carefully than pretend that the whole subject is already clear. How do you decide which detail deserves a closer look before moving on?
