Hi Everyone! It's been a good week for curation. Too many excellent posts to choose from but I think I've narrowed down the best. I'll admit a couple of posts were a little older than I would have cared for but I think they were excellent posts so please be kind and show them love in their blog.

The urge to paddle is growing stronger with every sunny spring day. This issue of the Paddling Nature Ramble was just what I needed to feed my craving. I hope you enjoy it too!

Making The World A Better Place

@bluefinstudios has not included a single photo in this post but his point is clear! Dumping plastics and garbage into our waterways has to stop. It threatens our very existence on this Planet. Every time I go kayaking I ALWAYS end up bringing back garbage found floating in the water. It ticks me off! Please Note: This post is older than 7 days so please leave a nice comment and check out his blog. He's an excellent photographer!

Minnesota Wildlife: Beaver (original photos)

@fotosdenada takes us with her on a nature walk with some great shots of the wildlife. It's a nice break. Enjoy it with me. Don't miss the Bison shot!! It's fantastic!

We've Educated More Than 5000 People about Plastic Pollution via Our #EndPlasticPollution Campaign. Earth Day Report from Cameroon

@thegreens and her teammates worked very hard to educate people about Plastic Pollution in Cameroon. I'm so impressed with what these Ladies accomplished and I'm sure you will be too. This is a world wide problem and I'm so happy to see each step that is taken to fix it.

Svalbard - A Short Visit to Longyear Town

@nkraft traveled to Svalbard, a group of islands midway between Norway and the North Pole, to research for his novel. What caught my attention, other than the interesting facts and photos, was kayaking a fjord!! My dream! I thank you for sharing this trip and feeding my dreams.

Where Eagles Fly : Morning Mist on the Scapegoat Wilderness in Montana

A huge chunk of North America is wild and remote. @skypilot's goal is to make us aware of the beautiful remote wildness that we need to protect. His post explains what, why and how. While you're there check out the link to his website...his movies are AMAZING! Thanks for your hard work @skypilot!

Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana)

When I'm yakkn' the river I see these trees fairly often. I've always wondered what they were but never looked them up. @thekittygirl has solved a mystery for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Her post is well written, informative and has great photos. Thanks @thekittygirl! I love learning new things.
