Easy Backyard Nature Observations


Do you love to take your children on nature walks? use nature journals? observe the details of creation?

We do as well. However, it isn't always easy to pack up the kids and head to a wild place, nor is there always ample time.

Inspired by a friend's post, this summer, we will focus a bit more on what happens to grow or visit our own backyard. After all, it takes but only a moment to ease open a door.

A few of the items we have been inspecting more closely...

flowers budding and blooming



the parts of a flower


pollination in action
{See a great hands on activity for learning about pollination here.}


flowers in the garden which will yield to tasty sweet peas


flowers in the trees


trees with leaves 'so big'


and a few herbs we happen to grow in containers near our back patio {lavender and mint}
