I had a few days away with some female friends. We got an Airbnb up in the Georgian Bay Area, packed our bikes, our swimsuits, and an obscene amount of food and headed up for four nights. Here are the tourist highlights:

- The Grotto: so busy! We had to get a permit for a four hour time block. The water was freezing so I mainly hung out on the rocks

- Flowerpot Island via some shipwrecks and with an ice cream afterward. This was a great outing but a full day affair with driving there and back.

- Halfway Log Dump - another beach requiring a reservation. Quieter than the Grotto and dire warnings about strong currents. I just dipped my toes. We saw a baby bear on the way out! My first Ontario bear!

- Wildlife highlight from one of our rides - a family of Sandhill cranes! I only caught this one on video, it was quite vocal about our presence.

Sprouterra and Mounterra! Rock -> Rock/Grass types. Inspired by Flowerpot Island in Ontario.

They have a symbiotic relationship with the moss growing on their bodies - they move to spots of ample sunlight, and return get some of the profits from photosynthesis. Sometimes one can find several Sprouterra stacked up on eachother, seemingly in attempt to reach more sun.

Mounterra can often be found on beaches with many Grass-types readily alongside them. They protect eachother - the Grass types fend off water types, and Mounterra fends off flying types in turn. It's mutually beneficial.

In ancient times, it was somewhat common practice to carve into the inside of a Mounterra as a sort of "living house". They don't seem to mind, but recent conservation movements have put an end to this practice, due to the obvious risks.

Blog 4: The Natural Art of the World

Hey everyone! Welcome back, today we’re looking at nature in art and the beauty of nature. Enjoy the reading and the pictures!

Nature comes in many different forms; the physical which is the tree’s, plants, animals, water and the physical stuff you can touch, the spiritual which is what the physical things mean to you and how you care about them, and there’s an artistic form too which can range from pictures to paintings to dances to stories to songs, all of which are beautiful in their own way. Every person and thing on earth has a different level of connection through each of these forms of nature. This triangle of form connection acts in a way that if someone is more connected to nature in a physical way they are not as connected to nature spiritually or artistically. Most people are mixes of two of the three forms, but usually they lean more strongly to one of them. For me, when I am interpreting nature on a hike I am most connected with nature spiritually with physical, but my lowest form of connection is artistically. I’ve never really been one to sit down and listen to music or look at paintings of different things, however, I will gladly look at pictures of things people have found or seen out in nature. 

This is a picture I took on Flowerpot Island, Tobermory of a lone birch tree on the beach, and thought about how much this tree has been through with all the storms, waves, and ice that lash against it with no remorse but yet it still pushes through and stands strong.

People perceive nature’s beauty through their forms of connection. The textbook talks about the ‘gift of beauty’ and defines it as how it, “should promote the ability, and desire to sense the beauty in one’s surroundings to encourage  conservation/preservation and allow for a stronger spiritual connection” (Beck et al., 2018). I like to think of this as looking at nature through someone else’s views. 

This is a painting done by Mark Nadjiwan (https://www.threetreesart.com/) of dragonflies. I purchased this painting for my mom who's favourite animal is a dragonfly, but also because the story behind it is amazing. It talks about combining western science views with the views of the indigenous peoples. I highly recommend everyone to look at the paintings and read their stories.

There is an outstanding artist that lives in Lion’s Head, Ontario whom I have purchased a few things from because of the beautiful stories that go along with each of the creations. This artist is Mark Nadjiwan. He is an indigenous artist who creates simple but complex indigenous art. He has a website:https://www.threetreesart.com/ which his creations can be found on. Every single work of art he creates has a meaning behind it along with an indigenous story of what entity it is about and what it means to the indigenous. Through the use of these different stories it ties in the many spiritual beliefs from indigenous people in ways that never really would have been thought about unless you grew up learning the stories. I would frequent his stand he set up to read the many stories he had and to purchase the ones that had the biggest impacts on me and the way I see the world. By reading these stories it helped me think about the animals I see everyday in a different way and it gave me more appreciation for them, even the animals that we consider “pests”.

Going back to the idea of the connection forms of nature, sometimes nature can display itself artistically that any person cannot resist to appreciate. For example, sunsets/sunrises are a form of natural painting on the world's biggest canvas. How many people do you know, when walking or driving and you see a sunset/sunrise, that don’t stop and look at all of the different colours for even a second?

This is a picture of my most handsomest puppy (Ripley) with a stunning sunset behind.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! Please check in again next week for the next blog!

Flowerpot Island, the dreamy beauty!

In the heart of Ontario's Georgian Bay, there exists a place of extraordinary beauty and wonder. This place is Flowerpot Island, a hidden jewel nestled within the pristine waters of Fathom Five National Marine Park. As you approach this enchanting island by boat, you are greeted by a surreal landscape that appears straight out of a dream. Towering limestone stacks, known as the flowerpots, rise majestically from the crystal-clear waters. Hidden caves, rugged coastlines, vibrant underwater ecosystems, and other attractions near by await those who love exploring the new wonders of the planet. Flowerpot Island is not just a destination; it is an invitation to explore, discover, and connect with the untamed beauty of the natural world. In this blog, we delve deeper into what Flowerpot Island, ON, tourism has to offer, its adventures, and the compelling reasons why it beckons travelers from around the globe.

Flowerpot Island Odyssey, Cave Point, and Sea Stacks

Imagine a place where the rocks look like giant flowerpots, hence the name Flowerpot Island. These huge, tall rock formations stand like nature's sculptures, and they are what make this island so special. The biggest one, called the Great Flowerpot, is a whopping 23 meters tall, while the smaller one, the Lesser Flowerpot, reaches 12 meters. They're like nature's art, carved by wind, water, and time. But Flowerpot Island has more to offer than just its flowerpots. Its coastline is like an adventure waiting to happen. There are sea stacks, which are tall columns of rock that rise from the water, and caves, which are like secret tunnels in the rocks. You can explore these wonders as you hike around the island, and if you're feeling extra adventurous, you might even go into some of the bigger caves.

Underwater Wonders:

Beneath the crystal-clear waters lies a mesmerizing world of shipwrecks, vibrant marine life, and underwater formations. The island is a diving paradise, attracting divers from around the world eager to explore the depths of Georgian Bay. Whether you're an experienced diver or a novice looking for adventure, the underwater world here promises an unforgettable experience.

Green beauty & nearby attractions

Even though you might expect flowers everywhere because of the name, the island isn't covered in blooms. But it's still a green paradise. You can find rare ferns, mosses, and even orchids. These plants thrive in the island's unique environment, making it a special place for plant lovers. In addition, Flowerpot Island is just one part of the larger Fathom Five National Marine Park, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Nearby, you can explore other islands like Big Tub, which is home to more shipwrecks, and Cove Island, known for its historic lighthouse. The town of Tobermory, located on the mainland, serves as the gateway to Flowerpot Island and offers charming shops, restaurants, and the opportunity for glass-bottom boat tours to view the shipwrecks from above.
