I cannot recommend walking an area consistently enough! I am often inspired to share thoughts about nature study and science because of our walks: <br />http://aut2bhomeincarolina.blogspot.com/search/label/Santee%20NWRwalkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-48428668281416240052013-04-18T19:09:04.472+10:002013-04-18T19:09:04.472+10:00We have some lovely spots that we can visit too an...We have some lovely spots that we can visit too and it's lovely to be able to escape for a while and enjoy nature.Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-9871833899239235512013-04-18T06:46:27.396+10:002013-04-18T06:46:27.396+10:00What I want to know is: how did you keep the ants ...What I want to know is: how did you keep the ants away from your yummy cake long enough to take a pic? ☺<br /><br />It sounds lovely & I know I should enjoy those walks.<br /><br />We have several. Me, I like best to meander through the mangroves with the translucent water seeping gurgglily under the humped roots of the mangroves & the little brown honeyeaters screaming <i>My Territory! My territory</i> from the tree tops. Usually the silence is so deep it's like dropping into eternity. The crack of bird wings resounds like gunshot.<br /><br />The other walk we like, which is easier & not reliant on the tides is left down the hill, past the bean farm, the fruit farm, the avacado farm, up the hill & down & round the back of the avacado farm along the Canaipa passage circling back home again. It is a pretty walk & at night under the stars spectacular!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570697333076967654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-46145992576246990442013-04-17T23:39:19.197+10:002013-04-17T23:39:19.197+10:00I love the scenes of your rural life, so full of l...I love the scenes of your rural life, so full of living things. We live in a suburb in a lower middle class subdivision where there is not much too see. A lot of grackles, pigeons, sparrows, boring green lawns, and tacky lawn decorations. We do go on walks, and occasionally see something new, often we will dig up a weed flower in someone's lawn and bring it home and put it in our own garden. We are slowly trying to convert our own home and yard into our own little nature sanctuary. We have a larger back yard than most, and we plant a lot of native bushes, fruit trees, vines, and creepers, trying to create a habitat. It's beginning to pay off. So our favorite nature walk is just the step into our back yard.<br />Books For Breakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186942675406365328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-69928500562226137482013-04-17T22:47:25.218+10:002013-04-17T22:47:25.218+10:00Re Baden Powell Drive: there's an Ambleside Co...Re Baden Powell Drive: there's an Ambleside Court in the next town from us--I always thought it would be cool to have that for an address.Mama Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941211100125966917noreply@blogger.com
