The Revised Flora and Fauna by Sagerats
Have you seen the new featured blogger of the week post yet? I am so impressed with Nature Notes From Above. That blog is simply beautiful! She has inspired me to once again take my children out into nature and attempt to observe it.
As I stated in the featured blogger post, whenever I take my children on a nature walk about the only thing we find are sticks and garbage. Generally the boys find the sticks to sword fight with. I find one to use as a walking stick. The garbage is just there.
When we do happen to come across some interesting flora or fauna I can't label it. I dig out my handy bird book or flower book and try to find it but the pictures don't really look like what I'm looking at. "Let's see, page 142 has something similar but it says that the only color it comes in is hot pink. This is definitely more of a light mauve." I look around in the book some more and find no description of light mauve flowers.
The only animals I know are those that someone told me the name of. "That's a deer." I'm all wonderment at the beauty of God's creation. From there on out I know. Those are deer. Although I may not recognize them as such in my animal book. According to it deer don't like certain flowers and yet there they are outside my house eating those very flowers they find distasteful. Perhaps these are the lesser known tastebud free deer which my book does not mention. That's what I get for only spending $9.95 on the animal book instead of forking over the big bucks for the $29.95 comprehensive edition. I just know the tastebud free deer are mentioned in that one.
Actually what probably has really happened is that I've discovered a new species. I should probably look up how to get my species recognized and have my name put to it. Then I can say with complete confidence, "That young man, is a Tasteless Tia Deer. It's habitat is, mysteriously, strictly confined to my acreage.
It'll be tough managing all the sightseers, environmentalists, and media reporters but I'll do it for the sake of the public. The proper picture and description of the animal must be put into all the newest animal books so it can be easily identified by others. |
