Inspired by Ticia’s idea to collate all my Native American Posts in one place, I thought I would tidy up my blog a bit and create posts which did the same for other topics.
In anticipation of our next nature study which will be a one year study of the nature in our garden, I have popped all of our pond posts into a separate post and created a Nature Page at the top of my blog.

This is a very good idea – everything on one page. It’s a good record, as well as serving as wonderful memories for a whole year of work you’ve done. 🙂
Thanks Hwee. I am hoping to do it with a lot of our topics to make the blog a bit more simple to navigate.
You know, your pond study is the entire reason I have a nature study pinterest board. It was such an awesome series.
Thanks Ticia, and thanks so much for the idea – it was a good one!
That is a good idea!!
Thanks Kay!
Nice job of organizing everything. I think your pond study is still one of my very favorites.
Have a lovely evening, Claire.:)
Aw, thanks Donna. I hope our garden one will be just as good. Are you still thinking about doing a garden study along side us (we could compare)?
The thought is still there. Right now we are doing some major remodeling of our backyard. We are removing three trees – one is my tree study sweetgum. I am very sad to see it go, but I am afraid it is in such bad shape there doesn’t seem to be much hope. It is not a tree that grows here naturally, and it has lived as long as it can here. It is coming down this Friday. I did take some final pictures of it. The other two trees are both Chinese tallow trees. I never have liked them, their sap is toxic, and they are losing limbs with every breeze. I am not sad to see them go. After all of this, we should have much more sun and be able to garden a little. So, yes, I hope to do some backyard nature study right along with you.
Yet another great resource!
Thanks Marie.
Just revisiting your lovely pond study.
