Photos: Wildlife
all around us
Under our boats and over our heads,
they are there. Even when
we aren't paying attention.
And if a grizzly appears in our view,
we are terrified!
But we suddenly feel alive.
For eons, species have appeared on earth and vanished. We've even invited some
into our homes and backyards.
To live without our furry, finned
and feathered friends would be tragic.
And lonely
They deserve our admiration, our respect and care.
