Pic of the Week 2021 #9 Theme: Spring is in the Air

Spring is definitely around the corner in northern Italy. The early spring flowers show off their colors and compete with each other as to who is the most fragrant. From left to right; Snowdrop flower, Primrose, Crocus.

La primavera è decisamente dietro l’angolo nel nord Italia. I fiori di inizio primavera mostrano i loro colori e competono tra loro su chi è il più profumato. Da sinistra a destra; Fiore di bucaneve, primula, croco.

The wild boars dug up my lawn in search of roots and corms. I only wish they would have plowed my vegetable garden instead. It would have saved me a lot of work. Here’s a shot of what they’re capable of doing with their snouts.

I cinghiali hanno scavato il mio prato in cerca di radici e bulbi. Vorrei solo che avessero arato il mio orto, invece. Mi avrebbe risparmiato molto lavoro. Ecco un foto di quello che sono in grado di fare con il loro muso.

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.
