Anhinga



This is an Anhinga that I took in Florida. My family really likes it. I won an award off of it in a little art show. when I was in Florida that time, I saw quite a few new birds. There was a Limp-kin, a flock of white ibises, a lot of Muscovy ducks, a tri colored heron, a green heron, and some type of duck that i do not know. It was fun.

sand dollars


I just learned a lot about sand dollars. They are a sea urchin. They can be found in any ocean that is not cold. When it is alive they are brown and furry. When they die they become hollow and float up to the surface of the ocean and float ashore. They loose their fur when they die and become light brown. When we where in Pensacola Florida we where on a hotel on the beach. When we went out to swim we would find a lot of parts of sand dollars. We only found two full round ones.

turtle and nature



This is a turtle that came in our backyard last year, I used to want to be a photographer. I love all nature. I can not stand New York City, it is all city, not much nature in it. Maybe there is a park or two or three or four or five. Well I have never been there, but my father has.
He says there isn't much. Plus, there probably used to be a beautiful tree that was where the Empire State building is now. Well that is the way I think of it.

meadow lark and New Mexico




When we came back from New Mexico, My father hit a poor little meadow lark. It was so pretty. I am sad it had to die. It had such a pretty belly. When we where in NM, we went to a nature preserve. I saw so many new birds there. There where; northern shoveler, ring necked duck, wood duck, mountain chickadee, lesser scaup, a small dove, black duck, and black chinned hummingbird. We do have a road runner hear, but I saw a lot in NM. I got a video and pictures of one.

guinea pigs


I thought it was so cute when our guinea pig, timothy, got up on top of Cc. That was a day when we sat down and gave them "Exercise". In order to give them exercise, you have to pick Cc up and put him right above the floor. He will start trying to run away from you. He will not know that he is still in the air. At least it works with our guinea pig.
