My Favorite Place in Nature

A photo of me cooking over a campfire with Gardner Lake behind me.

East Machias, Maine is home to my absolute favorite place in nature, Gardner Lake. I do not know if I enjoy it so much because of the years of memories I have from summer camp along this quaint lake, or if it is because the scenery really just is beautiful, but I like to think that is a mix of both. There is absolutely no interference of the outside world when you are here, instead, all you can hear is birds chirping, the rustling of trees, and the wind against a sailboat sail, making the entire time you're at Gardner Lake, insanely peaceful.  While I have not been to Gardner Lake since 2017, I have no doubt in my mind that it will always be my favorite natural place.

    This sounds like a great place to be! I understand with the memories and all that good stuff it makes a place so much better to be at. The picture shown also helps a lot showing the type of activities you guys are doing and how you're spending your time. Great post Ill be looking out for the next.

    I know what you meant when you said you do not know if you like this place so much because of the memories or the scenery. I have so many places like that, where I love it because it is a great place to be but also because I had so many memories there.

Update On My Tree

A current photo of my tree It has been about three months since I first explored and wrote about my tree. My tree is located right outside of my dorm, Holloway Hall, and it makes a statement to everybody who enters and exits the building. The last time I explored this tree for a blog post, it was barren, with absolutely nothing growing on it, as shown in the photograph below. But now, we are starting to see some action! A photo of my tree located outside Holloway Hall. Today, as I was observing my tree, I noticed something new. All over the branches of my tree, there are tiny green leaves, along with red things growing as well. I was very excited to see some action occurring, as it seems to be one of the last trees around campus that still needed to bloom. In my prior post I said " My prediction for this tree is fairly simple. I am predicting that it will bloom with pink buds in the coming weeks, maybe early to mid April, before the tree becomes covered in a bea...

Theodore Roosevelt

photo of Theodore Roosevelt from  Wikipedia Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was the 26th president of the United States. President Roosevelt is often considered the "conservationist president." Without Roosevelt's work, this country would not be where it is today, and I firmly believe that the environment would have deteriorated faster. He was a hunter all his life, and was able to see the first hand results of overgrazing and even lost his ranch due to it. A lot of peop le though, did not agree that our resources would ever run out, but Roosevelt, who was seeing what was happening, would respond with " We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation." Because of...
