So, now mid-July, I am just getting around to posting our June Firsts.
1 - identified lemon-mint
2 - wonderful aroma of the basket flower at the state park
3 - identified meadow pink and mountain pink.
First 90 degree day.
5 - mosquito larva
Giant swallowtail butterfly
6 - saw a beaver down at the river!
8 - mosquito pupa
10 - mosquito adult
11 - four o'clock flower buds
14 - first rain of the month
21 - cedar waxwings spotted
24 - copperheads starting to appear in the area ...Needless to say, our time outside (especially in the evenings) is very monitored and limited!...
I really like how you pair your written firsts with photos--I may have to copy that one of these months! The Calendar of Firsts is such a small, easy addition to our nature journaling but the results have been so satisfying. I'm glad you're keeping up with it also!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have to admit that July's Firsts list is a bit skimpy though ... only because I have just been hot and tired and feeling a bit burned out. I hope to remedy that in August!
