I
haven't had the opportunity to post recent events here lately because
my plate has been full (in a good way). Finally got a chance to upload
photos of fun adventures during Dendrology class, my birdwatching trip
to Tybee Island with
Augusta-Aiken Audubon, and more!
Photos of those events are posted here:
Grateful Naturalist Photo Gallery
The photos within this post are examples of how I study. I am thankful to my sweet
nature pals that lovingly understand me and keep their eyes
open.....helping m
e to spot out and
collect cool nature finds.

They also don't get grossed out by my bag of
bones and skulls. Guess I'm sort of a Morticia Addams.
(laughs!) Students enjoy it when I share these cool finds and
research information with them.

| My Plant Press |
In an older post, I shared my love of leaf pressing and ways of doing it. (See
Preserving leaves and flowers.) I am thrilled to find this large press at a
thrift shop for only $4.00.
(Can also be used for bookbinding and
papermaking.) I feel that some folks passed it by not realizing what it
was. A small press along that style costs $120.
https://www.tylermorriswoodworking.com/store/leaf-press-kit/leaf-press-kit/. A large press such as the one that I found can double that. Needless to say, I'm a happy camper!
Thank you for visiting! Sending out love vibes and hope that everyone has an awesome week.♥
