...There should always be time for letup. Everyone needs to get out of work mode once in a while. My cousins enjoy the beach as much as I do, and my cousins always invite me to tag along with them. When I visit the beach, I can personally say that I always create new memories. This past summer, I only got the chance to go to the beach one time, but I still had an amazing time at the beach. The day I went to the beach was perfect. The sun was high in the sky, and the clouds provided just enough shade. The weather for the whole day was beautiful. The sand on the beach was warm to the skin. It felt as if I was walking on a bunch of pillows. As soon as I sat on the beach I completely buried my feet in the sand. The waves where flowing in because of the boat traffic in the distance. The sound of the waves were almost putting me to sleep as I laid on the shore. Many people play recordings of wave sounds to put themselves asleep at night, but the real sound of waves in person is extremely move effective. The water, the sand, and the sky was just exceptional. I could not dream up a better day. The setting of the beach was just right. The great part of the beach is people give off positive energy. People at the beach are always in a good mood. When I am at the beach, I feel at peace. Everything around me seem to be calm, and it feels as if the world is in slow motion. The beach is a place to kick back relax. People should approach the beach with no worries. The energy at the beach was...

...County Blaze It was a particularly peaceful night for me and my family in the hot Texas air. We had just finished with a full day, of the first part, of our annual family reunion and were getting ourselves settled to just hang out with each other. We put on a movie, and sat down to enjoy it when a sudden roar shook the foundation of our country home. Minutes later the streets, as well as my home turned in to a black void in which all the lights were no longer on. In a panic my family and I stumbled through the house trampling each other in the darkness. We scattered about until my mom found the door that revealed a vivid red glow. Soon after the same glow attracted the rest of my family and I, so we followed, but what we found was not an appealing sight. The ruckus that shook the house turned out to be the electrical tower that powered the entire street or what was left of it. The tower exploded leaving the streets black. Unfortunately for me and the people, who live on my street, there was a fire that had spread through the fields around where the tower lay, and we lived miles away from any real, stable, fire department. This put us in a massive state of shock, so we quickly scurried along the out skirts of the fire, trying to find some way of getting the fire to die out. The search was a long one, but no luck came are way. The fire grew more and more, and every one began to panic as there seemed to be no hope of extinguishing the rippling blaze. Because it seemed...

She liked to walk across the earth – which was basically walking across herself – in the shape of a matronly woman with a flowing green dress, curly black hair and a serene smile on her face. The smile hid a nasty disposition. You’ll see that soon enough. After a long time alone, Gaia looked up into the misty nothing above the earth and said to herself: ‘You know what would be good? A sky. I could really go for a sky. And it would be nice if he was also a handsome man I could fall in love with, because I’m kind of lonely down here with just these rocks.’ Either Chaos heard her and cooperated, or Gaia simply willed it to happen.

...hypothesis need to be implemented to solve a question. Introduction Blue porch ceilings are quite prevalent along the east coast, there are many theories as to why, from keeping evil spirits out of the home to fooling spiders and wasps into thinking that the ceilings are actually the sky. Many old houses around the Victorian and Colonial era bear this color in their porches due to the popularity at the time, but even now the popularity of the color is prevalent. Besides keeping evil spirits from entering the homes and fooling bugs, the blue ceiling reminds the owners of the blue skies even on cloudy days. Hypothesis The blue paint used in the painting of porches of the Victorian and Colonial homes contains an ingredient that repels insects, a natural insecticide used in the popular paint color. Prediction If there is an ingredient that naturally repels insects in the blue paint then the results should be obvious. Painting two porches ceilings one with blue paint and another one with white paint should demonstrate that the one with blue paint is bug free during the time of the experiment. Controlled Experimental Method First three enclosures were built; enclosure number one ceiling is painted sky blue. Enclosure number two ceiling was painted with the same type of paint only white color. Enclosure number three was left unpainted. Then thirty wasps were collected and divided equally in the enclosures. Lastly the experiment will be repeated with spiders and mud daubers to ensure...

...another has witnessed the beautiful red and orange colors of a sunset. Although colorful sunsets can be seen anywhere, certain places in the world make them seem even more amazing. For me, this place is the beach. A mixture of peace, tranquility, and serenity create an unmatchable feeling of calmness I get when I am watching the sunset and the constant movements of the waves at the beach. It is just me and my thoughts at the beach, allowing me to enjoy the sights and sounds. The sun, a large orange fireball in the distance, looks like it is slowly sinking into the ocean beneath it. The sky splashed with random blends of pinks reds, oranges, yellows and even some hints of purples and blues. The water below reflects the skies colors. The waves tinted with reds and streaks of blues. The sand under me is the same color making me feel like if the sand is on fire. The dark ocean waters and the bright sky create a contrast that makes the horizon look like a meeting of two worlds. Its beautiful and breathtaking, and I'm speechless as I sit in front of this amazing sight. Nothing bothers me as I slowly look around the beach. A feeling of calmness wraps around me like a warm blanket. I am at peace with myself. All I can hear is the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, and some seagulls, flying overhead squawking. The cool wind blows softly through my hair sending chills down my spine. It is all so calm and pure. The fishy smell is not so comforting; the smell tingles my nose;...

...break, in the middle of March, my junior year. As I cross the state line into Florida, I picture the ocean as being a place of peace and serenity. It’s my first time visiting the ocean, and all I can think about is hoping it is as beautiful as the pictures I have seen of it. As I arrive to the beach with all my friends, the eagerness of seeing this peaceful place is rising. I can’t wait to smell the fresh salty air, feel the soft sand between my toes, walk along the breezy shoreline. As we approach the beach, the first thing I notice is the sky. As I look into the cloudless, cerulean blue sky and see the flawlessness of life; in the distance, rolling clear-blue waves crash into each other with such force as that of football players. The sky is breathtaking along with the sounds of the waves and the tide washing onto the shore. The water reminds me of crystals shimmering in the water with the sun reflecting off of it. As the sun sets, the sky turns into a pink hue with a bright orange sun going down into the horizon. We stroll on the beach, and my feet sink into the soft sand. I stroll along, and the grainy, slick, brown sugar sand pulls my bare feet under and leaves a perfect imprint. I pick up a handful and sift it from my palm slowly, feeling the grittiness of sand with each finger. The view down the beach of the white, but slightly brown sand was enough to make my knees go weak. The sand is such a sensational feeling between my toes and a beautiful view against the crystal...

...“Star Light, Star Bright, Where are you now?” As I was reading the article, I was surprised to know that there was such thing as “light pollution”. It was rare for me to hear this kind of pollution. The cause of this kind of pollution is too much light directed toward the sky. I even wonder at times when I look up unto the skies and see no stars at all. I didn’t realize that this was because of light pollution. It was because of this article that I’ve learned a lot about light pollution. The presence of light pollution makes it impossible for us to see the stars, because there are way too many artificial lights that brighten up the night. Few of the causes of light pollution are: bright lights from homes and buildings, light from vehicles, street light that have a shape of a cylinder, and billboards lit form the bottom. Starless nights may not be a big problem for us, ordinary people, but for astronomers who study the heavenly bodies, this is already a huge problem. Even with the use of telescopes, the glare of the light may still affect their observations which results into inaccurate results. Astronomers are not the only ones affected by this pollution. Even the nocturnal animals are affected too. Light pollution could ruin their natural habitat and overall behavior. There are ways to reduce the effect of light pollution, and this is through the use of: Light with timers, Motion-sensor lighting, and Full...

...representation can move us so much, imagine the power of the real thing. If you have seen Massachusetts during fall season when the leaves turn yellow, ochre, and red, you can never forget it in your lifetime. Nature has myriad facets. It keeps changing from season to season, from minute to minute. If the sea was a bright blue in the morning, by noon it has become an emerald green hue. The colors of the sky keep changing throughout the day, from pale pink at dawn to a dazzling blue at mid morning and a bright orange by sunset and purple by twilight. Nature reflects our moods. When the sun shines, we feel happy and hopeful. When the skies cloud over and the rain falls in torrents, we feel pensive. A balmy moonlit night can awaken the lover in us. Such is the transformative power of nature’s beauty. In the movie, ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, the cannibalistic psychiatrist Hannibal Lector who is in a maximum security prison tells Clarice Starling, the FBI officer, that he wants to be transferred to a facility where he can have a room with a window that looks out on the sky. Even evil surrenders before the beauty of nature. It has been observed that patients in hospital recover faster if they are in a room with windows that offer a pleasant view. Beyond providing pure pleasure, nature’s beauty can therefore offer therapy for sick minds and bodies....

...sieves, It powders all the wood. It fills with alabaster wool The wrinkles of the road It makes an even face Of mountain and of a plain- Unbroken forehead from the east Unto the east again It reaches to the fence, It wraps it rail by rail Till it lost in fleeces; It deals celestial veil To stump and stack and stem- A summer’s empty room Acres of joints where harvest were, Recordless, but for them It ruffles wrists of posts As ankles of a queen Then stills its artisans like ghosts, Denying they have been. Paraphrase The snow falls from the sky through the clouds like flour. It powders all the trees. It fills every cracks of the road with the white. It makes the mountain and the plain becomes flat land in white. As far as we can see is white from east unto the east again. The snow reaches the fence, and wraps it by rail until cannot be seen but white snow. The snow deals the sky layer. Coming noisy and full fill the farm acres of joints where harvest were, recordless but for them. The snows annoy the pole of posts as well turned of queen. Then stills its artisans and disappear in silence, denying they have been make an annoyance. ☺ The Imageries of “It Sifts from Leaden Sieves” There are some imageries used in this poem, but, personification is the major imagery used by the writer.
