Nature walk - Black Rock 2/23/2014

Something that we like to do as a family is go on nature walks. I don't know what it is but nature just peaks to me in a way that nothing else does. I love being outside and with the beautiful creations that God has made. Something that I love about these nature walks that we do are all the different things that can be found in new environments. Different rocks, sand, trees, colors! So much beauty around!

I've noticed that little Blue has become quite the rock collector. Always filling his pockets with pretty rocks that he finds. I had an idea a little bit ago as to how we could capture some of the beauty from our nature walks instead of filling our pockets with rocks.

This is the first in hopefully a long and beautiful series of nature walks. What we are going to do is collect the different pieces and textures of nature wherever we are exploring that day, and take a picture of them on a white board. Then we can leave the rocks, leaves, feathers where they belong but still take home a piece of our walk with us. I'm planning on having these nature walk pictures printed and lining the hall of our home someday. Great memories for sure!

We did our first nature walk that we collected things on about a month ago. We stopped out at the Black Rock on the south side of the Great Salt Lake. Blue has asked several times if we could stop there so he could climb to the top so we finally did! But first, here is our collection from our adventure and then a few pictures from the trip.


 
 
 


The big boys made it to the top while I stayed back with sleeping Gray.
