		<description><![CDATA[One thing that I love about living on Vancouver Island is the proximity of wilderness. I live in town, but it doesn’t take long to get out into nature; rivers, mountains, waterfalls, primeval rainforest and great beaches are all close at hand.
Whenever I go to Campbell River I am impressed with the number of hiking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many years now there has been a mounded ant&#8217;s nest on my mother&#8217;s property. During the winter months, birds peck and scratch at the nest looking for an easy snack. In the early spring, the ants begin to emerge, moving slowly. As things heat up, the nest becomes a teeming mass of ants in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was walking on the beach on a sunny afternoon, listening to the repetitive sound of the waves and the slight crunching sound of my footsteps sinking into the pebbles. “People have stories, but do rocks?” I wondered out loud. I looked down at the pebbles, worn smooth and round by wave action and realized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year we put up more bird feeders than ever before, creating something of a bird oasis on our small urban property. The number and variety of birds that stop by is always a surprise. So far, 18 species have visited our feeders this winter.
There is constant action at the feeders. Each morning, coffee in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tracking wild animals is a skill that takes years of experience, but anyone can follow a set of footprints and learn to become a keen observer of nature.
