Challenge #7

Last Friday, we completed Challenge #7. The above is a picture of our little tree in the backyard that we decided to study all year long. We think it is an ash tree, but the jury is still out on that one.

We all enjoyed the blue, blue sky of autumn and the tree's yellow leaves against that beautiful blue backdrop. We noticed this time that our little tree is losing its leaves rapidly, the air is getting colder, and fall is slowly turning into winter here.

Nature Study at the Park

With lots of sunshine and cool temperatures today, we just had to take our studies and a lunch to a nearby park.

We studied leaves, and are trying to find out what kind of tree this one came from. If anyone knows, please comment and tell us! We all had fun doing leaf rubbings in our nature journals.

Chloe found these berries and the tree they came from.

We are going to try and observe the different trees in our area in the coming months and note their changes.
