May 6, 2008

I'm going to start with a cause this morning, I hope you won't mind that... Marc sent me the link to a site called Caribou and You a couple of weeks ago. At first glance, it seems to be a petition to protect the woodland caribous across Canada but really, it's not just about the caribous, it's about protecting our boreal forests along with the caribous and all the fauna and flora that lives in it. I'm very fortunate to be living right now in an area where there is still plenty of wildlife to be admired, beautiful and big forests, it's something I appreciate greatly. There are animals in this area however that I probably won't have a chance to see because they are now on the verge of extinction and we'd have to be pretty lucky to see them. I want my children and grand children and those who will come after to see what I'm seeing now, to experience the thrill of meeting a caribou while walking in the forest and maybe for them to be able to see those animals and plants that are almost all gone right now. To preserve all this, I feel it's important to act now, so if you have a minute and you agree with this, go and sign that petition! ;)

Ok! On with what's new on this site...

Of course, I have more new photos for you, ice melting, sunsets, caribous (don't they deserve we respect their home?), Kim, strange rocks and maybe I'm forgetting some, guess you will have to go check it out... ;)

The monthly freebie has been available for a few days now, it's pngs of a cute little imp.

In the store there are some rusty seamless tiles, beach gals and beach dudes and a painted grey jay. This grey jay took me quite a bit of time to paint and I thought some of you might be interested in seeing a work in progress so if you'd care to see its evolution it's there in the WIP section.

For those of you who receive my newsletter, I would really like to know if you enjoy the newsletter that was sent on may 6, html format or if you preferred in text format the way it was before. If you scroll down a bit, I've installed a poll, I'd appreciate if you took a few seconds to let me know what you like best. Please, only vote once... Thanks! :)

And that's all for now, have a wonderful month of may!
