One can only wonder what would have happened if young Daniel McGinnis had chosen to go exploring somewhere else on the fateful day in the summer of 1795. If he had, perhaps nobody else would have walked the woods on the eastern end of Oak Island for the next ten years.

Thick leafy branches might have obscured the old

The fluffy soft multi-colored, quilt sits on top of the huge four-poster oak bed, an endless rainbow of color. The quilt contains yellows as bright as the sun, transition to a shadowed maize color of a dried corn field. Browns ranging from bark of an oak tree, to melted chocolate on a new white shirt.
paradise, a place my family called Tamarack. Tamarack was a family camp and hunting lodge set deep in the heart of the Mountains. My earliest memories of it are fractured images of sights and sounds and smells--golden bars of sunlight through majestic oaks and elms, the ever-present smell of wood smoke and haunting echoes. I suspect that the setting was the reason for the eerie echoes which resounded about the site. The house, itself, was built on the side of a steep hill leading down to a small private
Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief, all will go through the aging process. However, how well each endures that process depends on the individual. After my Visit at English Oaks Convalescent Home, a skilled nursing facility for adults’ age 55 and older, I found this to be true. During my visit, I conversed with many “residents” whom were alert and oriented and very aware of the aging process. We conversed about the process of aging and the factors that appear to account for a longer life. We talked

(Page 50) The rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it, --or whether, as there is fair authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Anne Hutchinson, --we shall not take upon us to determine. I believe these lines are important because they
Plants make up most of the Pine Barrens. For instance, pine trees such as the short needles, pitch pines, jack pines, long needles, yellow pines, and many others make up most of the pine forest in the Pinelands. Other trees include the pine oaks and the cedar trees. Due to the roots of these cedar trees, water in the Pine Barrens appears a brownish red color. This happens because the roots emit pigments of red color into the soil which then runs into the water. Even though the amount of red pigment

She, in return, took in his mud-stained blue robe, pointed hat as wrinkled as his face, and a great oak staff that twisted and turned as if it were still alive and trying to escape his grasp. “Hello my lady. What do I have the pleasure of helping you with today?” His voice retained so much sarcasm that it grated her nerves. Corinthia raised an unimpressed
Bret Harte’s “The Outcasts of Poker Flat” is a character-driven story about a group of banished citizens from the town of Poker Flat. The emphasis is not placed on the crimes they committed, which allows the reader to further sympathize with these characters without first making a judgment based upon morals. The protagonist, John Oakhurst, along with the company of outcasts, makes his way across a rugged mountain range towards the town of Sandy Bar. At the insistence of the rest of the group, which
species. We believe that we can domesticate every plant, while in reality the process takes two to perform. For example, the oak tree denies domestication from humans, instead interacting primarily with squirrels. The squirrels are able to receive food through the acorns of the oak, while the oak benefits by the squirrels burying some of the acorns for the benefit of oak trees, resulting in no need for humans to step in to the perfectly functional arrangement. The relationship between humans and

Introduction Observations: Many variations and species of plants can be found all around the world and in different habitats. These variations and characteristics are due to their adaptations to the natural habitat surrounding them. In three of many climatic zones, the arid, tropical and temperate zone, plants that vary greatly from each other are found in these locations. In this experiment, we’ll be observing the connection between the adaptations of the plants to their environment at the Fullerton
Squawk, squawk, screeched the Raven as Ashley walked towards the isolated tombstone which was covered in green slime and crumbled with the weathering of time.

The shadows distracted Ashley as they appeared to race towards her, she turned abruptly as if to retrace her steps “oh be quiet” she yelled at the black shrieking Raven. She studied the twisted branches of the trees which reached out like arms trying to grab at
