R.A.R.E – Rare Animals Really Endangered

NY Valentine thought: We live in a State where we are richly endowed with more than 7,600 freshwater lakes, ponds and reservoirs. The inland bodies of water supply us with drinking water that comes straight to our faucets – that we share with over 200 species of neighboring fishes. In knowing that the entire earth is made of only 3% fresh water, we should consider ourselves blessed. So, this week when you make use of New York’s water, (ie. flush the toilet, shower, wash the dishes, brush your teeth, etc) give thanks and give love to the Empire State and know you are loved!

There is too much to love about nature…every where I turn I am in awe:) I came across this quote that captured how I felt so well. It’s by Victor Hugo. “God manifests himself to us in the first degree through the life of the universe, and in the second degree through the thought of man. The second manifestation is not less holy than the first. The first is named Nature, the second is named Art.”

Seafood played a big role in the first Thanksgiving meal. The Indians were said to have provided oysters while the Pilgrims had become adept at catching bass, cod and even lobsters. As for that pumpkin pie that many of is are so fond of, its most likely that the Pilgrims “stewed” whole pumpkins over the hearth and served them unsweetened. Enjoy!

Did you know rare leatherback turtles can be found in open water globally? They have been known to swim on epic journeys covering 12,000 miles! They can maintain high body temperatures using metabolically generated heat. Sometimes they mistake plastic bags for jelly fish their favorite kind of food:( Show them and other flipper shelled friends your support by participating in WCS’s Run for the Wild 2011 in two weeks at Coney Island:) Join the rare awareness team and come shake your tail for the turtles with!

Van Cortlandt Park : From the quiet green shade of its oak forests to the crisp white mantle of cricket players atop the Parade Ground, the park boasts a past rich in culture, well-versed in history, and blessed with the intrinsic beauty of nature.
