Join us on our walk around our neighborhood?
I love the birches in this area. Their bark really stands out…and has eyes!
an evergreen silhouette with the sun shining through it.
a tree that still has leaves on it
Just look at that gorgeous bark! I think it’s a striped maple.
crows in the tree. they were eating walnuts.
and, look! a crow footprint in the snow.
this tree already has buds on it
this birch with buds and catkins
juniper berries. Tori was good to spot these.
a really big beautiful rock in someone’s front yard
a poignant picture of unpruned withered roses with rocks
Tori was excited by how long her shadow was.
Rosehips along the next door neighbor’s fence. I love how they stand out against the gray and snow.
our new nature display box. I found this at Hobby Lobby. perfect.
the girls hard at work drawing the milkweed pods
Tori is proud of her tree silhouette page
Katie is drawing the buds and crows in her tree silhouette
Alex drew his pictures too. He loves being a part of it all.
Tools we use and love
Sure glad we got in that walk since we’re in a blizzard this weekend!
Tori got a little rock set for Christmas and we’re going to explore that since all our rocks are under billows of snow right now.

Wonderful walk photos! Love the display box! That would be fun too for chalk pastels. I love the colors on the white snow with the baren trees. Thanks for sharing!
thanks! that is a good idea! I need something for pastels…
What a wonderful post! I love the images especially the rosehips. The box from Hobby Lobby is perfect too. Wish we had Hobby Lobby here…that would be a great addition to my nature table display (going to Pin it so I can remember to ask my Texas friend if she can get me one).
Thanks! I love roses. Even in winter. We didn’t have Hobby Lobby for years. I love it now.
We’ve done several winter hikes, too. It’s more challenging in the snow on various levels. I found just this week that the kids just wanted to play in the snow instead of walking!
They stopped in the middle of the tracks on the trail to make some and couldn’t resist snowball fights. Play is good!
that’s awesome. we’re about to get more snow this weekend. I can’t wait til spring!
