• Curious Expeditions: Delightful website outcome of vagabonding

  
  Vagablogging :: Rolf Potts Vagabonding Blog — Authority: 471
  Sometimes I like to find examples of fun things that vagabonders have done with their lives.  I think that we sometimes get so stuck in a rut, or scared of change, that we can’t imagine any career or creative purpose outside of “travel writer” or possibly “Amazonian tour guide.”  Both of which are pretty ...

• Autumn free food and where to find it

  
  For Argyll — Authority: 144
  Autumn is a season that happens more or less when it is expected, whilst others seem to drift from one into another, and you can hardly mark their beginnings.

• Thought From Experts on Grizzly Weights and Gender

  
  Bert Gildart: Writer and Photographer — Authority: 112
  ©Bert Gildart: When Bruce Funk, a hunting guide in Alaska who just returned from the Brooks Range, looked at this photo, he immediately said, “Sow.”Guess, then, that I’m typical of those who see a bear and are impressed by the intensity of the moment rather than by the more dispassionate facts. Big bears can do ...

  Gallicissa — Authority: 407
  The rains have returned to the dry zone, ending the withering drought it experienced for several months.

  Sea kayaking with SeaKayakPhoto.com — Authority: 127
  Once round Rubh a Chrois-aoinidh, we had left Loch Tarbert on Jura and now entered the Sound of Islay. We still had 14.5km to go till we reached Port Askaig and there was only two hours until we had to be on the ferry. There was some anxiety within the party. However, our detour round Loch Tarbert had allowed the tide ...

• In Newcomb: Identifying Roadside Roses

  
  Adirondack Almanack — Authority: 540
  Perhaps November is really not the time of year to try to identify roadside roses. Sure, the hips are lovely, and they certainly look as though they should be distinctive. Lots of trees are easily identified by their fruits alone, so why not roses? How difficult could it be?I confess right up front that while I ...

• In Paul Smiths: Owls Of An Adirondack Winter

  
  Adirondack Almanack — Authority: 540
  With a full, November "beaver" moon overhead we plodded along on the Paul Smiths Visitor Interpretive Center trails. The crisp leaves of maple, birch, and beech that crunch underfoot seamlessly drowned out all sounds. We need to periodically stop and listen.
