Summer Photo Challenge

Happy Summer Solstice, and the first day of summer!  It's the longest day of the year!  Not allot of sun today in S. Florida for the first day of summer, rain, rain and more rain.  raincoats and umberals are needed for today!  but I do love getting out and splashing in the puddles and photographing the raindrops on plants.  It worked out well with the photo challenge this week.  Just in time for Blissfully Domestics fun photo challenge this summer.

It is for all skill levels of photography. You should join in. It is as laid back, no pressure, and fun just like summer is.  This week’s prompt is water. You can check out other submissions and join in at Summer Fun photo challenge



I love doing black and white photos!  I think it showed the raindrops up very well!



Nature Scavenger Hunt

I have done many scavenger hunt games with my kids in the neighborhood and my girlscout troops.  It is a great way to get the kids to look for nature around them.  My Junior Naturalist are starting to enjoy getting out and walking around at the sanctuary and with the weather cooling off, I am always looking for ways to get my kids groups at work interested in our pineland trail and found this great idea link here: Scavenger Hunt.  I am going to print up some cards for the plants and wildlife on our property and send them in search!  I hope you can find this inspirational for you and your kids!

The tree which moves some to tears of joy

is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.   Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...

and some scarce see nature at all.

But to the eyes of the man of imagination,

nature is imagination itself. - William Blake
