Early in the morning on the African savannah the sun begins to emerge from the horizon. The morning sun continues to rise turning the sky a beautiful blood orange color. All types of animals are called to attention by an African tribal chant; “Nants ingonyama bagithi baba!”
Groups of animals emerge from the thick fog walking across the grassy savannah. A flock of flamingos fly across the still crystal water. Herds of antelope hop like frogs through the morning mist. Meanwhile, a mother giraffe and her calf walk out from the shadows into the warm sunlight. They stand on a grassy hill and notice below them groups of animals walking in the same direction. They prance down the hill eager to join them. As they do this, a colonel of red ants walk gracefully across a stick carrying large leaves. Below them, a large

(blue birds) scurry up a hill moving in all sorts of directions. Behind them a herd of elephants stomp up the hill loudly, their giant feet bringing up more and more thick clouds of dust with every step. Meanwhile at pride rock, a tall flat ledge that towers over the savannah, hundreds of animals gather. Zazu, a small blue bird with a large orange beak flies to the ledge. He bows with gratitude to Mufasa, a strong powerful lion with a thick red mane. Emerging from the crowd of animals Rafiki, an elderly baboon with white hair, slowly climbs up the ledge. He hugs Mufasa warmly. They walk back to a cave where Mufasa’s wife Surabhi is cradling a tiny lion cub. Mufasa and Surabhi rubs their heads together showing their love for each other. Surabhi licks Simba’s head gingerly waking up the napping lion cub. Smiling, Rafiki bends over Simba shaking his walking cane which has two large melons attached to it. Simba swats his paws at

When you envision a place called Twin City you may think about it being a big place, I
Though I spent my entire life living in North Carolina I never thought of myself as a Southerner. My understanding of the Southern lifestyle was quite limited; there is an emphasis on family solidarity, and self-sufficiency with an agricultural backdrop that is part of their essence. The South is not simply a location, manners or customs it is a way of life. Hearing the childhood details of a favorite professor allowed me to envision a picture perfect life under the shade of a magnolia tree and little southern girl who grew up to be a Sandhills Community College professor, Mrs. Cole.
As we started back across the field hundreds of colorful birds, with crowns of yellow feathers, fluttered toward the dusky sky. The breeze smelled like crushed pine needles and wild flowers. Then we crested a hill and I spotted a herd of majestic half-men, half-horse centaurs galloping across the meadow, bows at the ready as they hunted for dinner. The scene was lit with floating flameless orbs of light, augmented by a jamboree of swirling fireflies their flickers blotting out the moon.
WHY SAVANNAH? Imagine this: your sitting outside a quaint tavern, watching as a boat slowly floats on the nearby river. A cool breeze brings whispers of jazz, swaying the trees decorated with Spanish moss. Your waiter soon arrives, trailed by the smells of southern cooking. You eagerly glance at your meal, noticing the fried green tomatoes are still sizzling! The fried green tomatoes alone sound like heaven! This is Savannah, Georgia. A city rich in history, character, and fine cuisine. If the south was a great pot of sweet tea, savannah would be the simple syrup.
The indication of morning had approached; wind halted while the air became temperate. Morning routine of the birds, fetching food for their children, communicating with the others, hatching their eggs. Newly seeded grass shooted out, growing like weeds. The air reminded Mary of a camping trip when she was younger in Yosemite Park. Pinecones and trees gave her the happy memories, ones of her husband and her only child before the accident.

One looks out across a secluded section of the Hudson River. It is late afternoon, and the sun is beginning its decent. The sun is almost blinding; its rays glistening and reflecting upon the river turning its blues to greens. The sky is clear with the exception of a few scattered clouds, which begin to absorb the gold and reds of the setting sun, giving an almost hazy effect to the end of this Indian summer day. On the far side of the river, a child helps his father pull a small boat onto the bank, as a small group of cattle makes their way across from the bank opposite them. The cattle move slowly and intently across the water, drinking as they walk, enjoying the last moments of the day as they continue toward the father and son. Two additional cows lounge on the cool earth beneath the trees whose branches are scattered with the crimson and yellow-orange colors of early evening and that of fall.
Have you ever expected an unfavorable outcome from an experience, yet were shocked with the best? Nashville, Tennessee is the city where I was able to realize that I have the potential to do great things with my life. It was the middle of June at the 2016 HOSA International Leadership Conference, and I was sixteen years old. At this time, I had been dealing with anxiety and depression for so long that I never thought I would be able to make an accomplishment that meant something to others and myself. This trip helped me realize that I am capable of more than I think.
I had so much fun when me, my sister and my momma took a trip to South Carolina. We was originally going just to go to my brothers graduation from basic training, but ended up doing more than we expected. We had a rough trip on the way to his graduation. By trouble I mean our truck broke down in Atlanta, GA. Since the truck didn't make it all the way there, we got a hotel room in Atlanta. We woke up the next day and went to explore since we was already in Atlanta and I haven't never been before. We first went to find something to eat, but didn't know where anything was at so we asked around. One man said we should go to the Underground Atlanta food court. This is shopping and entertainment district in downtown Atlanta. It was a lot of food
A journey transcended measure, and the air stifled the seed-spreading hands of the acacia tree. Impressions of a shedding branch filled the walls. The blossoming line projected its beams on the landscape diminishing into ripples. A golden streak furnished the straws with their daily share, and the earth resembled a bed; that endless thread which folds opened and closed to absorb the invigorating drops. Figures disappeared in the shade, and their drooping heads produced indifferent signs.
The sun climbed up the sky, shining the fields a brilliant golden. The barley stalks waved majestically in the wind. A lush valley filled with green willows and shrubs lied past the fields. On the other side of the field, the ranch was overshadowed by the large and strong Gabilans. A herd of rabbits bounded through the valley, and sat on the fluffy grass, watching a large grey hulk stand lifelessly in the center of the field. A large cloud meandered over the Gabilans, changing the well-defined brown slopes to an ominous black.
“The giraffe entered our town in the morning and looked at us all from high above…it was taller than the steeple, seen in perspective, but its eyes… rosy and good like stars at dawn…it was the most extraordinary thing ever seen in our square. ” (Senesi 1)
A thin assembly of tall, heavily branched loblolly pines enshroud the compass of the landscape, forming an imitation of an opaque forest wall. The rainfall deepens and electrifies the inertness of the terrain. The pines shake from side to side in the blustery weather, waving and swirling their branches around with vigorous activity. A short leafed oak tree, much larger and archaic than its counterparts, stands firmly on the precipice of the lake 's long, curving contour. An exposed gaggle of wild Canadian geese shuffle their soiled webbed feet with short, quick steps alongside their goslings through lush bunches of wild grass en route towards shelter from the unforgiving downpour. The gaggle takes cover from under the oak tree 's high adhering limbs by the edge of the lake.
The 6th grade school year got out about a month ago. It was about the time that I started preparing for my annual trip to North Carolina to visit almost all of my family. Only my Mom, my two sisters and I were able to go, my dad couldn’t come with us because he had to work. He works at the college and online, so, he could’ve came but my grandparents house might as well have had no internet, it couldn’t load anything! It was going to be my first time flying and of course I was a little scared and I was thinking that there is a possibility that we might crash, but, to be honest, I was more excited than scared to fly.
