Salamanders @ Pelham Bay Park

Salamanders (Order Caudata) are a diverse group of amphibians. They can be found in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, though water is essential for survival. Most salamanders are nocturnal and can be found under rocks and fallen trees. Pelhma Bay Park has salamanders because of its diverse geography of coastal swamps. Some species are indigenous and thus need to be conserved. One such family of salamanders is the Plethodontidae family. This family constitutes more than 90% of salamanders and the eastern coast of U.S. has more plethodontids than anywhere else in the world!
MIND & TONGUE CAN BE OUR WORSE ENEMIES
Our thoughts, our words, our dreams have power to create conditions in our lives.
Whatever we think, dream, or speak about; We could bring about or be attracting.
For instance...
If we say we cant stand our job, we may lose that position.
If we say we cant stand our bodies, we may wind up getting sick.
If we say we cant stand our possessions, they may get stolen or stop functioning.
If we keep saying we are always broke, then we will always be broke.
If we say we can trust this or that person, someone will hurt or betray us.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT - WORDS OF WISDOM
" The art of being a woman can never consist of being a bad imitation of a man."
WORLD WATER DAY - http://www.unwater.org
What are you, your family and friends doing to preserve water today and every day?
The United Nations is promoting the 19th annual World Water Day to focus global attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
Hundreds of millions of people lack access to clean water, while some of the most common products and services we use every day require hundreds, if not thousands, of gallons of water to exist.
