This blog needs some color

The orchid show at the botanical gardens. They really are fascinating plant-like creatures.

An insect tale

We took a walk around Buckhorn state park yesterday. I felt like a tiny insect in the reed-like plants all around me, which were forming uncommon angles in the wind and slicing up the scenery like venetian blinds. It was all golds, reds and grays. We saw a field full of fat Robins, and in the woods there were a few Red-Bellied Woodpeckers flying around us. Big pieces of ice floating down the Niagara. We are now student teaching at our second placement, which is going well so far. Click on the link to the right entitled English Class Page to see a blog I made for the high school I taught at. Students showcased their poetry on it based on the Holocaust, the topic of our unit. There are also a couple of pictures. Tomorrow is Spring and we woke up to big fat snowflakes falling down this morning.
