Sea Turtle Breaking ThroughSwimming and pushing hard through the daily tightness, teasing oxygen from the oceanmy loggerhead turtle is determined to gain mileage and not take forever to get safely ashore.She must be vigilant watch out for predators and escape from a sea lion to find a homeon a sandy beach and lookfor a safe place to lay her eggs.She did not burrow like a clam on the bottom of the ocean.Instead, she smashesthrough the roaring blue-green waves. With her bright determined body,she is strong of heart, breaking through all setbacks, knowing time is running out.If she arrives on the sand she will haulherself up the beach at night and lay her fragile eggs.ContentsPart OneOur Community of Dairy Cows//1 Oak Tree Monarch//4 Black-Capped Chickadees in Madison//6Hunger Drives Evolution//8 Japanese Cherry Tree-Sakura//10 Lucca Biodynamic//11Wounds of War//13It’s Complicated//15Landscape of Change//16 Beloved Adino//18 Milford Track//21Butterflies Rock the Block//23A Galaxy of Worlds, Boreal Conifer Forest//24 Columbia Quindio Wax Palm Trees//26 Watching Three Blue Leviathans//28A Geyser Erupting//30Deacon Grave’s Native Wildflower Walk//32 Part TwoThe Fightback of the Kirkland Warbler//37 Black Birds Fly//38Hiking Along to Acadia//40Imperiled Rhythms of the Great Barrier Reef//42 The End of the Line//44Snowball the Cockatoo Grooves//47 Family//49Celestial Divination//51 Star Viewpoint//54Starry Sky Connections//56 Moon Gazing//58Hannah//59 Alyssa//61Visit from my Grandson//63Integrity and Dignity from Deep Within//64Good Luck and Safe Crossing//66White-Breasted Nuthatches//68 Our Orchard//69Breaking Through//70Lakewood Ranch-Another World
