Serenity and simple pleasures. When you're on the porch, time slows
down a beat. You settle into your favourite chair, sip an ice-cold
glass of lemonade, and take in the view-and everything else seems
to fall away. Just the mood this calendar evokes with its year of
gorgeous, full-colour photographs that invite you to sit and stay
awhile. A sunny lakeside porch is a delightful spot for a leisurely

From the National Audubon Society, Birds in the Garden celebrates
the backyard birds that are a joy to see and hear. It's like
glancing out the window and spotting a jewel-like songbird flitting
through the garden or alighting on a flower. Like a pair of
Eurasian Nuthatches resting on mushroom caps, or a family of
Black-naped Monarchs in their mossy nest. Plus a Broad-tailed
Hummingbird in flight, an aptly named Painted Bunting, and a
European Robin surrounded by snow. Each exquisite full-color
photograph is enhanced by detailed text about the featured species'
habits, habitat, voice, and distinctive characteristics--as well as
tips for bird lovers on feeding, watching, and more. Printed on
FSC-certified paper.
They're dazed, they're confused, they're blissed out-and they're
purrfectly hilarious. Based on the book and Instagram account by
professional cat photographer Andrew Marttila, this calendar
features a year of adorable feline stoners. A fluffy Ragdoll trying
to figure out which way is up. A gray-and-white cat who can't
resist rolling in the weed. And a tiny kitten-so sweet, but willing
to bite the hand that gets near its stash. The beautiful,
full-colour portraits are richly detailed and showcase cats at
their silliest and most irresistible. Printed on responsibly
sourced paper.
Featuring a dozen secret gardens-hidden retreats of lush greenery,
patches of sunlight, gorgeous blooms, and perhaps a weathered
fountain and stone path winding its way through-this calendar is a
balm for the soul. Yew-covered arches open up to a sunny garden

garden. And a cushioned bench beneath branches of blush-white
"Venusta Pendula" blossoms is just the encouragement you need to
sit and stay awhile. Accompanying the photographs are detailed
descriptions of the featured gardens and transporting quotes.

Cooling off at a municipal pond in Venice, Florida-not far from the
Audubon Society's Venice Rookery-the regal Great Egret (Ardea alba)
does not appear to be in its breeding season. If it were, the long,
diaphanous plumes shown grazing the water like a lacy dress's train
would likely be unfurled in a glorious display. Printed on
responsibly sourced paper. Wire-o binding.

swaths of colour. Printed on responsibly sourced paper.
The timeless words of the Bible provide comfort, inspiration, and
wisdom, and, in the King James version, an elevated sense of
poetry. And paired with beautiful photography, they sing. A vast
mountain meadow illustrates Ezekiel 37:27 -My tabernacle also shall
be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my
people. Bright crocus blossoms pushing up through the snow add a
layer to Ephesians 5:14-Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that
sleepest, and arise frim the dead, and Christ shall give thee
light. And calming blue water enhances | Thessalonians
4:18-Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Printed on
responsibly sourced paper and 100% recyclable.

lane-everything about sloths is utterly irresistible! This calendar
