Nature Walk

We took a nature walk today. I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to find some nice "specimens" to study.

In front of the big maple tree... getting ready to explore and collect and observe. Some of these pictures are things we looked at and talked about.

Woodpecker holes

Sitting in their home-made fort (in the back yard)

Ant holes (under a rock)

Honeysuckle

Bees!
These mushrooms were growing in the mulch at the park

We walked around our yard and the little neighborhood park
