2nd tale - 2nd part

Twisted herself, grabbed her hair, shrieked, whirled, injured herself and at last, at the surface, she put her hands on that thing, watching the shore through it with its many trees, right above a white line of sand, that was a part of a giant beach… Panting, threw away that translucent body that the water seemed to catch… She didn't even notice that behind her, only 20 metres away, there was a ship of white sails and of a very small hull. On that ship, the one crew-member saw her on the exact moment that the strange object was falling in the water, after being thrown at least 5 metres away. He called his girlfriend.
— Maria! Come here quick! There is a mermaid over there and she has just thrown a plastic bag full of water! Quick!!
Maria and Solar, both heard him, and Solar before someone could see her again, dove and swam away from the boat. She looked at a far, and astonished and confused, as if she had never before seen men. That one seemed ok but strange… and was walking above something, with very sharp sticks where there were thin objects hanged, with very thin and white algae, where the wind was blowing…
— Aren't you imagining things?! Mermaids don't exist and you are very tired. Let's go! — Maria had nothing to do, she wasn't even interested on the plastic bag and besides that the wind was blowing on their direction, they could use the opportunity to return home. Nevertheless, that vision of Samuel wasn't good to her because she was very jealous and did not know how to swim, but that woman knew.
Meanwhile, as Maria was trying to convince Samuel to return, Solar approached them. She was then very close and listening what they were saying.
— But Maria, believe in me! I saw her playing with a plastic bag… one of those you usually throw away!
— What ?! Are you saying that the fault is mine? No! Lets go away right now! You know that I can't swim and I'm getting nervous with your visions! — She didn't understand but she was already screaming.

2nd Tale - The wind beyond the cape -1st

Solar used to swim there. Her long hair was getting mingled with the algae of the sea. Her hair was bright, like painted by numbed sun beams, that could not be tamed by the waters of the sea, that gently swung her, as if she were on its lap. Sometimes, she would pursue a shoal, trying to catch some fish, with her quick hands, made of soft thin skin, coloured of white sweet milk with honey; and sometimes, she swam gently together with sluggish whales, without any hurry. She used to swim, and run after something, throwing bubbles in the air, playing with star-fishes on the white sand at the very bottom of the sea, and used to fill in her lungs of air on the surface. She also loved to hear the music of the waves.

One day, when she was coming to the surface to breath, moving her fin as quick as possible, she felt something hindering her movements, and as she was unable to identify what it was she tried to grab it and threw it as far as possible… it was transparent.

Ecosystems

Ecosystems are communities of organisms that interact with one another and with their physical environment, including sunlight, rainfall, and soil nutrients. Organisms within an ecosystem tend to interact with one another to great extent than do the organisms between ecosystems.
Within each ecosystem are habitats, which are defined as the place where a population of organisms lives.
By 1969 the five kingdom system to classify organisms was presented. These kingdoms are: animals, plantae, fungi, protista and monera.

Nexte post will be about another tale of the book ;)

Inspiring sea ;-)

Not very far away of Lisbon is Cape of the Roca, the most occidental peace of land of the European continent. A beautiful place to visit in the Summer... Yes, the sea and the seashore inspired three tales in this book.

About the environment (1)

Hi!
I think that it would be very interesting to talk here about some notions about the environment. For Mackenzie D. and Susan M., "whereas the disciplines of biology, chemistry, and physics (and their subdisciplines of microbiology, organic chemistry, nuclear physics, etc) are focused on a particular aspect of natural science, environment science in its broadest sense encompasses all the fields of natural science."

Do you know that "the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed"?

We should know how to protect nature and conserve energy. ;)

Photos of inspiring nature :)

Nature inspired all tales of this book.
