This picture book story of John James Audubon was nice, but the illustrations thrilled me to the core. Absolutely lovely.

and (gorgeous, gorgeous!):
We are attempting to sketch birds for our nature journal, but the preliminary stages aren't very attractive. It will take a lot of practice, though I realize I shouldn't expect Audubon quality from myself (never quite took to drawing or painting) and a six year old boy. Grin.

Alrighty, ladies. I'll talk about our circle time notebook in an upcoming post. Stay tuned...
Hi Heidi
I would also love to hear more about the circle time notebook - I am intrigued as to what this concept involves.
What an appreciation your boys are going to have for nature.
A nature journal is such a wonderful idea. I like the thought of sitting out in some beautiful space outdoors and focusing on a particular piece of nature. The idea of taking the time to appreciate the detail and beauty of something and recording my thoughts (graphically and / or in words)is very appealing.
Love
Elise
Heidi,
Your children may enjoy seeing my son's sketch blog. He draws birds and has quite a few on his blog. If you click on me you will find a link on my blog called "Sketcher". That's Him! The link will take you there.
