I love to feel the bark on the rough trees, yes I am a tree hugger. Really, I am. I love to put my hands on and feel the life of them. Is that silly? Well today we have been teaching the kids about trees. Today was recognizing an Oak tree. Thats the one with acorns (fairy hats) so now they know Beech, Maple, Birch and Oak. Tomorrow we stick the leaves on a craft board.
The bark on trees make me think of Elephant legs.
I love to take pictures of the Lichen and things that grow on trees. I love that the tree is still useful even when dead. The woodpeckers must be abundant in those woods because there sure was a lot of trees with holes in them.
What do you see up that hole Tristen? spiders he says.
Do you see the tiny frog?
Its a wonder he was not trod on the way the kids were running back and forth. We did see several though, tiny little things.
These are fairy steps says Reina
Funny thing was we didn't see the wildlife that we usually see. No squirrels or chipmunks nothing but the tiny toads. Back to my garden tomorrow. Thought we deserved a break but I have some pictures of pretty little bees and bugs for another day.

Love the heart tree! It is really wonderful how you turn an outing into a lesson about nature.
That heart is amazing, what a find!
