This was a field trip with the third grade to Huntley Meadows Park. (They do not make shock absorbers for school buses.) All the photos are from the treasure hunt of things to find. They were all taken by EC, one of my 9 year old twins, both on the trip, but only one had the camera
First up: poison ivy. Avoid at all times!
Mosses.
Ferns
Don't know this one. Something "weeping".
Cat tails
Sweet gum tree.
Wild life: turtles
Many green frogs
A muskrat at breakfast.
EC was up in the observation tower when he saw an eagle catching his breakfast and got these shots off.
A snake was on the list. I was happy not to find a snake.
