Costa Rica One inescapable fact every tourist will notice when visiting Coast Rica is the lush green rainforest, abundance of wild animals and unspoiled beaches. The hideous landscape is home to some of the most amazing animals in Central America such as jaguars and toucans. The warm turquoise waters are great for surfing even as you hike across strings of active volcanoes in the tropical paradise. The popular visitor attractions in Costa Rica include Nosara Beach in Nicoya Peninsula and the Arenal

The characteristics of a sandy shore at Pallarenda beach, Townsville, North Queensland. Introduction: The sandy shores of beaches can be considered as a very harsh environment to live in (Ted Klenk, 1999). Survival in such a habitat requires an organism to withstand strong wave and current action, tidal rise and fall, unstable substrate, heavy predation and wide variations in salinity and temperature (The Otter Island Project). Any organism found in this type of harsh environment is specialized

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE I perched myself upon a weathered rock. My footprints left tattoos in the sand. The wind was etherized in the sky. The sun smoldered in silence. Centered in a quiet oasis, the blue beast howled. It stretched out before me like the land was coated in oil paints: cerulean and cyan, electric and Egyptian, teal and turquoise.

lot of fun. We rode all around Peg Leg in Borrego springs and in a wash. The wash was a lot of fun and at one end of the wash I climbed one of the sides and got up to the sand dune area of Peg Leg. It was beautiful. Most of the California desert is covered in bushes and I always look forward to seeing the clear smooth sand dunes. Later in the ride, I tried one of the hardest hill climbs I've ever done the hill was steep and rocky and it didn’t have a lot of run up. The top of the hill had a big rock

Behind me, a group of American soldiers charged forward, their machine guns aimed towards the sand dunes. I looked down at my little brother Martin, who was laying curled up in the fetal position, his head pressed against my chest. “Come on, Marty.

may come in their way, they were ready to take it head on. On the last day of summer, Skye went to the sand dunes, where Seth and Skye had their first kiss. She was hoping that Seth would meet at her dunes hoping that this would be the sign she was always hoping for. As Skye stood there for a couple of minutes, she saw someone who looked faintly as Seth, and it was. He climbed on o the sand dune and cradled Skye so tight saying “don’t ever let me go”. Within that moment, Seth knew this is what he had
