Proposed. The first snow in Paris transforms the city. The Eiffel Tower disappears into the white, the rooftops become a painting, and every Parisian who complained about the cold suddenly becomes a photographer, because Paris in the snow is the most beautiful city in the world, and every Parisian knows this, even if they will never admit it.
Proposed. The crocus appears in February, pushing through the snow in the Alps and the frost in the fields, and every French person who sees it knows that spring is coming, because the crocus is the first flower, the first color, and the first sign that the winter is almost over.
The batter is poured. The filling varies. The calories dont count. You indulge.
The costumes are worn. The parades march. The candy is thrown. You catch.
The fasting begins. The fish is served. The reflection starts. You abstain.
The masks are worn. The beads fly. The celebration begins. You join.
You observe Laysan albatrosses, Hawaiian monk seals, and frigatebirds on these remote Pacific and Caribbean islands. You note that pet ownership is virtually nonexistent on these largely uninhabited atolls. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
