Most of our nature study is done by reading about nature. I always have good intentions to get out into nature more, but don't act on them very often. But back in August, we had a day with several appointments in Birmingham so we planned a trip to the Botanical Gardens while we were in the area. We had a goal of finding and identifying three plants and three animals. 
The critters we found were a dragonfly, a honeybee (see below), and a robin. We also heard a woodpecker, and saw it moving in the tree, but could not see it well enough to identify which kind of woodpecker it was.
The plants we chose to study more closely and draw were the water lily, the black-eyed susan, and the Japanese aster.
