I've been wanting to add more nature study to our days, but the fact that I am not absolutely crazy about the ecosystem I'm living in...and it's been so darn hot, it just hasn't happened. But now with the cool weather, I've been riding my bike more and appreciating the desert more. So.....
But Jasmine took it into her own hands. She is taking pictures of birds. Today she got good ones of two of our common desert residents, the cactus wren and the curved-bill thrasher.
Cactus wren
....and Curve-billed Thrasher
She's also decided to enter a writing contest and is working on her story "How the Banana got it's Shape".
....and is engaging in one of her latest passions--Shakespeare. We just watched Twelfth Night and ordered several more Shakespeare movies from the library. Just can't stop that girl from learning.
....and on the soundtrack of our life Bela Fleck's Africa Sessions, the soundtrack from August Rush, Kimba Arem's Self-Healing with Sound and Music by, lots of Stargirl on CD, and the birds, those lovely glorious birds singing their joy to the world.
