Here where I live, in Southeast Denver, we have lots of wildlife -- from songbirds and and kingfishers and red-winged blackbirds and herons and crows to Northern Harrier Hawks and Great Horned Owls; to foxes and raccoons and muskrat (and occasionally coyotes); to crayfish (I call them crawdads) and minnows in the two streams nearby. If you open your eyes, it isn't too hard. But unfortunately in this age, with cell phones and cable TV and computer games, it is all too easy to ignore Nature. Funny, but the very media that helps us share (the Internet), also provides such enticing attention traps for so many! You know, I try every day to notice something.

There is nothing nicer than taking a moment to look at nature. Oh, if only more people would take the time to look around. Thank you for sharing.

That is an incredible thing to have witnessed. The native americans say that the <strong>spider is the totem animal of the written language</strong>! When you see one, it is to remind you that "creativity is always available when spider comes into your life". "Spider in Native American myth wrote the alphabet and taught the people to use words and writing. Spider can help you with your prose and poems creating new ways of expressing yourself. So save an eight-legged friend today and let Spider create something wonderful in your life." <a href="http://www.ravenmedium.com/TotemAnimals.htm" rel="nofollow">www.ravenmedium.com/TotemAnimals.htm</a> wow.
