I enjoyed the whole thing. This is just the kind of thing we love to do. I couldn't enlarge the photo to see the big leaved plant but it reminded me of Hosta. I'm sure that wasn't it. I really like Trillium and rarely see them blooming here. I'm so glad the boys like to do these kinds of things with you. You can teach so much when you're out in nature. Jim and I were talking about that the other day. I remember my grandfather taking me to the woods to get my leaf collection and teaching me the different shapes of leaves and bark. He also took me fishing the first time when I was 8. No one ever taught me the different sounds of Birds but I've picked up some of them in my adult life. I like being able to pass these things on.<BR/>Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-2279961153259562712008-05-26T20:47:00.000-07:002008-05-26T20:47:00.000-07:00Oh Mary....you're right, I do love the pictures of...Oh Mary....you're right, I do love the pictures of your neat walk!
