Backyard Beauties

I borrowed my mother’s camera. In our backyard, my sister and I found…blue morning glory

dandelion

mimosa seed pod

insects on mimosa. Bumblebee and…

ladybug

My sister with all the flowers she found.

My maple tree. It was planted when I was born.

Mimosa buds and leaves.

grass

mimosa flower

a leaf something had chewed on

spider web

and two other sets of leaves

It was fun finding all of this. I thought it was really neat we could have all of these things in our backyard at once!

It’s summertime and we have a lot of things growing in our backyard! We have fun looking for nature in our backyard because of all we’ve learned with Outdoor Hour Challenges.

    Wonderful job on your photo journal of your very own backyard! I love all the interesting things that you found to share with us. My absolute favorite image is the mimosa blossom. I would love to paint that in my nature journal. Thank you so much for sharing your entry with the OHC.
