Sunday, Green Chimneys June 7, 2009

On Sunday, we went to Green Chimneys, (a children's school) where my boyfriend grew up. . . they had Raptor Day there. . .

We had a great day!! Visit my post at Silk Creek Portal to see a couple pics;)))

Hopefully, I will be blogging more again soon! :)

Tarantulas

I have a tarantula too. This is him. I named him Aadi. . . because back when I got him I thought he was a she. OOPS lol

So that is a pic of Aadi my ex-husband took for me today. (He's still at his house at the moment).

Aadi is a Rose-Hair tarantula. He is really beautiful. I've had him almost a year, I think. He's awesome to watch.

Naturalist Journals. . .

I don't know much about these & have spent some time tonight researching them online.

I found some interesting links I'll share here. I got thinking about these because of some of the online journals I visit, especially:
The Naturalist's Journal, Nature Notes by Mary Stebbins Taitt
she's also linked in my sidebar.
