2022 Pic of the Week #33- Water – Acqua

Theme. Water-Acqua-Val Borbera,Vignole Borbera

I took this pic on a nature walk with my grandchild last December in Vignole Borbera, Province of Alessandria, Italy. We spent a lovely day together, and his rock art showed how much he appreciated our excursion in the wild. We discovered animal footprints and how to write on a rock with a piece of brick. As the sun set, he insisted we bring the rocks home. They weren’t tiny either. But he trudged along holding his stone, and when we got home, he just had to show his parents the treasures we found.

Spending time with our grandchildren makes us feel younger. Do you agree?

Ho scattato questa foto durante una passeggiata nella natura con mio nipote lo scorso dicembre a Vignole Borbera, provincia di Alessandria, Italia. Abbiamo trascorso una bella giornata insieme e la sua arte rupestre ha mostrato quanto apprezzasse la nostra escursione in natura. Abbiamo scoperto alcune impronte degli animali e come scrivere su una roccia con un pezzo di mattone. Mentre il sole tramontava, lui insistette per portare a casa le rocce. Non erano nemmeno piccoli. Ma arrancava tenendo la sua pietra, e quando siamo tornati a casa, non vedeva l’ora di mostrare ai suoi genitori i tesori che abbiamo trovato.

Trascorrere del tempo con i nostri nipoti ci fa sentire più giovani. Siete d’accordo?

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.
