Beauty in Nature
Welcome to my 2nd post sharing the beauty our family has found in nature in the past week or so. We returned to the same Indian Mounds and state park last week. This time I really enjoyed taking it all in and let my oldest take care of taking pictures. I am going to look at websites to help him work on his photography and allow him to use my camera. He seems to have a great eye for photo composition. First off though, I wanted to share this picture of one of the blooms from my mother in law’s jasmine honeysuckle. These usually attract hummingbirds and the blooms are quite pretty and fragrant.
Since I have quite a few pictures I would like to share, today, I will share our pictures from Red Top Mountain State Park and next week, I will end the series with pictures from the Indian Mounds once again.
I am also sharing boys each wrote a poem about nature.
Spring has prity trees.
Summer has lots fo suny days
Fall maks the levs fall down
Winter maks the trees die
(N, 6 years old)
Spring
Air as light as snow,
Wind that surely does blow,
As rainy as sunny,
As hot as cold,
Spring is the time
When things change a hundredfold.

I love these stone chimneys. I would love to have a cool stone fireplace in my yard but I will settle for just a small stone firepit!
In the nature there are wolves and kiyotes,
Please do not be scared
or do any care
because I like nature
and so should you

I still can get over the color of the lake. We just love to sit and watch the water.
One of the picnic tables was halfway in the water and the boys thought it would be so cool if we ate there (of course we didn’t!).
Have you found any nice spot to enjoy nature? Explored any new trail? As your weather warms up, enjoy the beauty nature has to offer. It is starting to get hot here, so we will have to find shaded areas to go to as well as start choosing early morning to go out. Summer will be here in Georgia in no time!
I will leave you with another flower, this one a thistle plant, and very prickly! I thought it looked really neat. The first time I remember seeing one was actually in the Republic of Georgia so when I saw this one, I had to document it. They are usually purple so this magenta color caught my eye.
A bientôt!

Aren’t honeysuckles fantastic – such dramatic, futuristic looking flowers! I love them. The thistle plant is a stunner too. Thanks for sharing at #WowOnWednesday Mireille!

Wow, Mireille, what a beautiful location! I am loving the stone buildings and old equipment. And these poems written by your boys are just priceless! You have some serious wordsmiths on your hands! Thanks for sharing all the beautiful things with us.

Thanks, Shelbee! All the boys usually try to enter their schools writer’s competition and my oldest has done very well. He says he wants to be a writer. The funny thing was that his first poem was: why why why why why why why, lol! Then he decided he did want to write something.
