Hey, kids! Today's guest, Monica of moonovermaize, comes to us with a most appropriate favorite thing for the week of Earth Day--nature!
Monica and her two children enjoy a walk in the great outdoors One of my favorite things is nature. I love the vastness of our Earth and all it has to offer. From the regal mountains to the frozen depths of the Antarctic to the blazing deserts and the grandiose oceans. Within each of these areas grow wild and wonderful plants and animals that I never tire of learning about. I thrive when I am outdoors enjoying nature and it is important to me to introduce my children to the wonders of our world. I want them to grow up to love and respect the splendor of nature.
And, because we all know a picture is worth a thousand words, Monica found the following particularly "wordy" photos on Flickr to further illustrate her love of nature. I don't even have to tell you to enjoy.

ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful. I'd love to show those to my kids someday.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful world we live in... each corner holds its own beauty, and I thank you for sharing those photos! They're amazing. But am I the only one seeing a strange face with a frown where I think should be a photo of Monica with her two kids?
