Natures Beautiful Gifts
It is my belief that sometimes beautiful nature sends us messages. Sometimes these messages or messengers may appear in our lives for a brief visit, yet share a lifetime of wisdom. And so that is how this true experience goes with my family's' visit from a beautiful Barn Owl, also called ghost owl by some.

Al Fresco at the Cypress Cafe
Tap. Tap. Tap. IS THIS THING ON? Oh. Sorry. Welcome to the soft opening of the Cypress Café, a place for foodies of all species. We specialize in treats for squirrels; but, of course, we welcome all walking, climbing, and flying animals. It’s great to see you all here today to help us celebrate.

Loner around millions except you
Being a loner in a world of more than plenty is like playing to find the needle in a hay stack, instead I hope nobody ever finds me in there except for you. You want to know who I’m talking about but I’ll get there. Having an existence in this world without the existing part in anyone’s life is a sweet n sour sauce moment. It’s an ache in my head and soul when the loud silence that sounds like a patient has passed, forced to start a new path on this cruel warm earth, Round or not the same sound sets in my head like a repeat because thats how out of body I am here. The sweet part is everyone wants to be you’re friend ! Oh wait .. you don’t know anything about me or care to learn. You like how my face looks??? Goodbye. Appreciate what humans are able to express from the inside not just the outside, I could have ugliest of the ugly persona and show you my pretty face and you’ll be okay… for now.:)) Being a loner turns you into an observer and everyone around you is just playing the same game. I don’t want to be apart of everyone’s simulations. Let’s have our own thoughts here.

The Wonders of Strigiformes
Barn Owls? Not at this latitude, but we’ve got ten other owl species that are common: big ones and small ones living in the forest surrounding our home. They can frequently be seen hunting our horse pastures in search of rodents or rabbits. With a meter of snow presently on the ground their hunting techniques adapt to the environmental conditions during the year. During the snow- free time of the year, they hunt on the wing covering a substantial amount of ground quickly. However, in the winter season, they perch on the fence posts or some other location and scrutinize the area in front of them looking for the signs and sounds they have come to know as made by the small furry creatures living under the snow.

They think I have an addiction to shades. My shades are my eye cover. Be it one of my eyes is glass. Not an ordinary glass. Mine is not breakable. The undermining roots of this tale is all because of an owl. This is how the story goes.

Why Active Volcanoes Endanger People’s Lives
Volcanic activity may seem like a dramatic movie subject, but you should know that, in reality, volcanoes do not sleep on our planet. It is estimated that there are currently about 1,500 active volcanoes on Earth, of which 75% are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire.

The Fascinating World of Owls
The challenge is for a short piece of fiction, so you could do just fine knowing nothing about owls. In fact, you could write “I was thinking about a barn owl, when suddenly…” and then write any story you wanted. But what fun would that be?

Tennessee William's Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert
What Does the Earth Feel but Cannot Say? The significance for writing this paper is to reiterate and focus in on specific ideas Terry Tempest Williams brings up in Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert. Williams’s passion for the desert is the reason she wrote the book in the first place, and I will dig deeper into the way she writes to express nature. Red stands out as a work of literary non-fiction prose that explores Terry Tempest Williams’s attachment to the wilderness of Utah. Throughout the book, Williams portrays theme of beauty and destruction. She elaborately describes the beautiful landscapes of Utah and destruction of those landscapes. Unfortunately, animals, trees, and other parts of the outdoors cannot speak and ask for the destruction to stop. Terry Tempest Williams describe the suffering wilderness that cannot fight back by offering political, historical, and descriptive style. Williams writes about nature with deep connections to Utah and it amplifies her passion as she advocates to save the wilds of Utah and inspire others do the same in their area.
