An Outdoorsy Carnival - October





Welcome to the October 1, 2008 edition of an outdoorsy carnival. Thanks to all who participated. If you have a post you'd like to share, be sure to submit it for next month's carnival. An Outdoorsy Carnival is hosted on the first of each month here on my blog.


Advice Column

Piedro Molinero presents More About Butterfly Gardening posted at DIY Gardening Tips.

GrrlScientist presents Smithsonian Field Guide to the Birds of North America posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, "A book review of the new field guide to the birds of North America by Ted Floyd."


Aquatic Life

GrrlScientist presents SailFish Fans Will Love This posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, "Adorned for the hunt, with fin raised and changeable colors flashing, a sailfish in the Gulf of Mexico circles a ball of sardines, preparing to strike."

Green Thumb

Kristen McCarthy presents Community Gardens: Transform Urban Spaces posted at this-sustainable-life.com, saying, "Traditionally, community gardens emerge in the most unlikely spaces: from dispossessed parking lots and abandoned railway lines, to hubcap strewn parks and needle plagued back alleys, to the sagging rooftops that overlook laundry lines stretched out across the cityscape in multifarious patterns. In these areas rejected and wasted from human-made decay, urban gardens are birthed."

In the Woods

Stephen presents Take a Moment to Reflect posted at Balanced Existence, saying, "Yesterday I got up early, ate a big breakfast of eggs, bacon and an apple and then drove by myself up into the Blue Mountains. I regularly plan days such as yesterday. This is because I feel it is very important to occasionally take time to reflect on where I am, what I’ve been doing and where I appear to be going."
