Yes, it’s Earth Day once again! That means it’s time for our annual walk to look for signs of Spring and see what flowers and other nature items we can find. Pop your shoes on and let’s go! 🙂 Here are some things we found:
Our Creeping Phlox flowers are blooming and they are so beautiful! Here we have light purple…
Also white…
And possibly my favorite colors, pink and white.
Next we found a bush with red and pink flowers. (Sorry, I don’t know what kind of bush it is.)
I bet you know the name of these bright yellow flowers! If you said dandelions, you are right!
Oh, look who is hanging out and gathering pollen on this dandelion!
These tiny little wild violets are growing in our yard. Yes, all by themselves. We didn’t plant them.
Here is another pinkish-purple flower that grows all on its own too. It even grows up through stones!
Speaking of stones…look what we found in our driveway, of all places! Two Killdeer eggs! From what we read, it seems Killdeer often lay their eggs in not very safe places.
While we are talking about birds and their eggs, look what else we found on our walk.
Care to guess what’s hiding inside this nest? This is a Robin’s nest and look what a beautiful color their eggs are!
Here’s another batch of pretty white flowers.
We’re almost done with our Earth Day walk today, but keep an eye out for trees that have blossoms right now too!
I hope you’ve enjoyed going on this walk with us, but I hope you can take time outside to go on your own walk and that you will find all kinds of beautiful things in nature that will amaze you! 🙂
