Nature Scavenger Hunt

We had hoped to connect with our MOPS group today to go on a nature hike on the campus where my in-laws work. They have some great trails over there. However, the weather just didn't cooperate. It was rainy & overcast so we came home. It's been raining off & on all day, but during a moment when it was nice outside, I sent off the two older boys to do the nature scavenger hunt I had planned for the MOPS group here at home. N took the list & crayon (more on that in a minute) & B took my digital camera with strict instructions to be careful! ;-)

The photos came out wonderfully so here you go....

Wildflower

Dead tree
This tree fell over in a recent storm so although it still has lots of green leaves on it, it will die soon.

Pine Cone

Berries

Blade of grass

I love how this photo came out.

Clover Leaf
A bit blurry

Moss

Pine Tree

Seed or seed pod

Shiny rock

Fern
(I love that "new" green look of spring growth.)

"Y" shaped twig

Pine needles

one of my favorite shots that B took

Hole in a tree

(there is more of an indent than a hole - right in the middle of the photo)

Dark or light green leaf

Small pebbles

Unusual shaped leaf

Rocks with many colors

Different shades of green or brown
