Through the eyes of an intern...

Nestled in the quiet suburbs of Woodbridge, Ontario is the Kortright Centre for Conservation. This 325 hectare land is home to several hiking trails, a large welcome centre, and one of the best sustainable education programs in the province. It is also home to an incredible ecosystem that many animals, birds, and insects call home. With close to 135,000 annual visitors, the Kortright Center serves a variety of environmental and community needs on a daily basis. Their welcome centre and accompanying grounds even host weddings and large family functions. If tall trees seem like a  good backdrop for your special occasion, then this is definitely the place for you! What's even better is that the entrance fees are reasonably priced, and the welcome centre is host to a wide range of activities for children and the entire family. I also love how the trails engage a wide range of skill levels, allowing anyone to explore the beauty of nature at their own pace. You can pack a lunch and have a picnic, or eat at the welcome centre. At the Kortright Centre for Conversation, nature is right in your backyard!

    Incredible pilot's-eye view pictures show what it is like to fly in the Red Arrows.


    The photos where taken from the cockpit of the iconic jets as the squadron trained over the skies of East Yorkshire.


    Team photographer SAC Hannah Beevers captured images from
    the backseat of Red 10's jet - showing her comrades flying in formation.

    The shots show the Squadron flying over York Minster, the Humber Bridge and Humberside Airport before heading back
    to their base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.



    The Squadron is renowned for daring displays and brought the
    whole formation together for the first time this
    season just three weeks ago.

    The Red Arrows begin training for the forthcoming season almost as soon as the previous year has ended.


    Preparation starts with small groups of three or four aircraft formations and the formations grow in aircraft number
    as training progresses.

    First of all I would like to say awesome blog!

    I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts prior to writing. I've had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?

    Thanks!
