April 11, 2008 - tiny world |
Instead of our usual brisk hike through the woods, today we decided to meander slowly and observe
nature at ground level. Here, we discovered a beautiful microcosm of amazing variety and intricate detail.

Now, you must go see what Barb has been doing. The "Green Hour Challenge" series has been so inspiring for our homeschool this spring. Thank you, Barb, what a gift you've given us!
I'm continually humbled by the generosity of the homeschooling community.
Have a beautiful weekend, friends. |

Thank you for the kind words.
My camera does all the work. Really.
I just press the button!
It's a Canon Power Shot SX100 IS
with 10X optical zoom. I usually use the macro setting for close-ups and detail, and I never use a flash.

Great nature study and great photos! Thank you for commenting on your camera because I am currently in the market to buy one; and I think you may have just sold me on yours! Oh, and I love the name of your blog!
Blessings,

We just love the snail you saw! The ones we found were bright green or had brown spirals on a yellow background!! Weird, eh?
