Jellyfish!

I'm putting in some water colors, as you can see. To me, it looks like a jellyfish. After that, the whole thing just settled and turned all the way blue. Once I put some pepper in and stirred it, it was blue with pepper at the top.
We mixed two colors together, I forgot which, but it turned orange!
 The yellow one is a water color too.Isaac has two green ones and I have the others. We like to let light shine through.

we found a wolf spider on the ceiling

Know what? Know how we got it into an observation station? Dad got up on an ottoman, stood on it, and got the spider from off the ceiling. Then we looked at it for a long time, then Mom took a picture of it. You might need to look closely at the picture to see the little hairs on the spider. You might see the jaws on the spider - that was REALLY cool. I love spiders, especially their webs. Then we let it free.

hike on bainbridge

You might see the teeny tiny bumps on the back of it, because i'm showing the back. It's actually a fern. Did you know those bumps have pollen on them?
Guess what? Did you see the prickles? They are actually not prickles. Guess what, they are, for real, little things that are looking like prickles but they are not! When I held it by the very tip of the bottom, it was sticky with sap!
Guess what? To me, those two things look like teeny tiny bombs, but on a plant! They might look like they are bumpy, because they actually ARE bumpy! Second to last!
Did you know that this is a leaf that is almost but getting ready to be it: A LEAF SKELETON! And also, see those patches, those are just plain leaf. You might see the teeny tiny lines, and that's the skeleton part. You might know what a regular leaf looks like. Did you know that the stem of leaves actually go INTO their skeleton.

Also, we saw a falcon.  Guess what?  The falcon seemed like he fanned out his tail feather in the picture (accidentally deleted from the camera) but the tail feather when it swept up was actually striped.  Guess what?  Know what?  The falcons beak was short but really, really cool.

hummingbird season

Hummingbird season is starting. The wings are the coolest, and the tail, because they all move. Remember, everything is Legos. The claws don't hurt, but they look very strong. They are actually very small. The beak is very small, and might look like it has a little hole in it for sucking nectar out of flowers. See the bright eyes?

Scorpion


This scorpion has a lot of cool things. It is so so so so cool. It's legs can move, it has jaws but everything is Legos! It has antenna: two Legos. It's eyes: amazing. Long bending stinging tail, also Legos.

I made it for everyone I love, even myself.

About the blog, I actually love this, but it is hard making it!
