This is Canada's magazine of wildlife and nature. The aim is to show animals and plants in beautiful photos and educate readers about preserving their habitats.
This magazine will be included in a "Canada Goody Bag" for the 2010 Convention in Amsterdam. I hope you enjoy it.

A magazine that was in the Canadian goody-bag I won in the lottery at the Amsterdam bookcrossing convention! I´ll take it along to work to read in my lunchbreaks (I don´t take books - to hard to stop when the break ends...). Afterwards I will put it in our OBCZ - Engish book are always fast taken - I´m sure the magazine will have several readers after me...

Thank you!

I don´t usually read any magazines except for one about new audiobooks, that I get every two months... I didn´t read all the articles, but I did read the one about the injured turtle that got a "remodeled shell" - interesting! Like getting a tooth crown... just more serious. I hadn´t though something like that would be possilbe.
I didn´t read the one about "Hinterland Honeymoon" because there is no way I will be able to go hiking there anytime soon - no sense in getting itchy feet (I love to go hiking...). Interesting none the less: "Hinterland" is a German word... I hadn´t thougt so many words would be incurred that way (we have some major problems still using german words for anything, especally in media / advertisment).
I read the article about the Caribou - I hope they can be saved! - Here again a German word caught my attention: "krummholz" = sam fir ... if translated word for word it would be something like bended wood... Do those trees look that bended and curved?
I read the article about te owls senses - interessting, especially since I do sound measurements at work and know a bit more what those frequencies and sould levels mean... I thought the owl could do better ;-)
The bit about the marine National Parks I read with great interest as well as I have to look up locations of nearest National Parks and protected areas for birds.... (5 different kinds of offical maps) every time one of the industrial plants I help with the paperwork wants to change anything about what they do... And I think that is good that way but sometimes when I read about "secondary mining dump growth" I start wondering what kind of plants and animals get protection...
I didn´t read all about the "Hungry vine, will travel" but the pictures looked frightening...
Seems Ladybugs are to be found everywhere... I was especally interested in that due to the fact that there were so many ladybugs to be found in Amsterdam - paintings, buttons and the like (as I found out later on
a symbol against violence there). We have the seven spottet kind mostly but I think I saw most of the others aroud here already too.
I will pass this on to RikkiDD who expressed interest in it.

Journal Entry 5 by Bookgirrl at Toronto, Ontario Canada on Wednesday, June 02, 2010

Thanks for all your comments! A couple of things: I collect ladybug "Stuff" so it was interesting to see you mention them. (I have earrings, china, etc with ladybugs on it) We have a few nasty ones here - called "invasive" that have come from other countries and they BITE. Especially the orange/yellow-orange ones. Your comment about German-English. I took German in grade 10 (age 15) and was surprised how many words were almost the same. It must be hard to learn English because it is based on French, Latin, German, even words from North American Indians - Toboggan, moccasin, teepee and India - bungalow, shampoo, jodphurs. The rules are so hard to figure out (there ARE no rules often) At least most Latin and Germanic languages have rules you can rely on! Anyway, thanks again for your JE's - I never heard anything from the person who won the goodie bag at the London convention in 2008.
