To me, everyday is Earth Day. I have loved the beauty of nature all my life. As a young girl I remember taking long walks with my Dad through fields of wild blueberries and pear orchards. As a family we visited many parks throughout the east coast while traveling to Florida to visit my aunt. While in Florida we experienced ocean creatures as we strolled through the shallow waters of Matheson Hammock Park Marina. Back then it was not a marina but a cove in which we would go swimming amongst tiny creatures of the sea. At one point I thought of becoming a marine biologist, but life lead me in a different direction.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t
