We will be doing some nature study using this blog and The Handbook for Nature Study as a guide. Today was our first outing. We went with friends to Woodland Hills. A beautiful preserve with only one sad side effect, it’s right next to the highway. But a little bit of road noise won’t spoil our good time. It’s beautiful there, creeks, meadows and everything between. We saw plenty a mushroom today and a the last of the summer flowers as well. Carter and his friend D took an epic adventure up the creek that was the highlight of Carter’s day, maybe week, maybe month, maybe year… It was quite enjoyable to watch them enjoy being in the woods. The woods brings me peace.
So, the lesson was easy, take a walk. Observe, use a nature journal if you’d like to draw or note anything you’d like.
So, consider us part of the challenge. Let’s get outside!!
