Do you have nature adventure pictures to share?
The other day my best friend and I took our kids to this cool garden area in Washington. There are different gardens - like English, herb, veggie, and more, plus a couple of ponds, a forest, fields, bees, greenhouses, and more. The kids had a great time. Actually we’ve been there before and Cedar always has fun.
In other news, I got a new camera, so now I can take pictures of our little outings - of course, not well. A photographer I’m not. My best friend is, so maybe she should have been the one taking pictures. Sadly her camera is all fancy and weighs like 10 pounds, so unless she plans ahead, she doesn’t bring the camera.
That said, you’re left with me and my pictures.
We saw cool flowers and plants like… Sedum
And tons of beautiful spring trees.
This was my favorite bush/tree but I have no clue what type it is - do you know?
Here’s a close up - if you know, leave a comment :)
Cedar ran into the woods and I haven’t seen him since.
Just kidding.
What the heck did Bella find?
Ducks! The ducks were odd - they followed us around. And we were not feeding them. Maybe they thought Bella was a fellow duck, since she tried to jump into the pond about fifty times.
We searched high and low and only saw one frog (or maybe it’s a toad). He was cute, but I wanted to see his friends. The last time we went there were frogs everywhere. Can you find him in the picture?
Cedar actually took tons of pictures when we went to the pond. Sadly he took the batteries out and erased all his photos. If you have family photos to share of your nature adventures send them in. We’ve had other families featured here before like…
- Mysti’s little one fishing!
- Kate’s two seriously adorable children in a field.
- Hilary’s cute kids
- And my little Cedar, when he was actually little and big time into jumping into the ocean.
If you only want to see pictures of Cedar and Peggy’s cat Choco over and over, we can do that, but we’d much rather see your family out and about in nature. Come to think of it, I believe Choco is an indoor kitty, so, no nature for Choco. All the more reason to send in your own pictures.
If you send in some cool nature pictures we’ll post them up - it’s a nice way to encourage other families to get out there and explore nature. Better yet, give your child the camera, and let them take some shots to send in.

I love taking nature shots so I have to make sure to always have at least one camera with me. We own a small completely automatic one as well as a large digital SLR. Of course after taking shots with the SLR I don’t really like the shots form the little one. I post some of my pictures on my blog and all of them on flickr.

Is it honeysuckle? Kind of reminds me of the honeysuckle bushes around my Grandmas place when I was a kid.

love your shots. Even though your camera may be little you took some great shots. You’ve got to love heading outside with the kids! Fun stuff! I like the name Cedar. I’ve never heard of it before!

@N&J it’s smart to always have a camera - I’m bad about that :(
@Heather I’ll have to look that up. I don’t think Honeysuckle bushes are that big - but you could be right. Thanks for the help.
@Shawna thanks. I’m trying to improve. I tend to do dumb things like cut off heads! I think you’re the first person to say they haven’t heard the name Cedar. What people usually say is, “Isn’t that a girl name…” or “Hey I had a dog named Cedar!” Great.
