Set to The Aviary from Carnival of the Animals by the Composer Camille Saint-Saens.

It’s included on this CD which feature Peter and the Wolf from the Composer Sergey Prokofiev, performed by The Boston Symphony Orchestra with the conductor Seiji Ozawa, and narrated by Melissa Joan Hart. And it’s a great intro to classical music for kids!

Pink

Leaves again! I almost included this one yesterday but it was from a different day, different light. Then I saw Maui Shop Girl’s photo post challenge this week was “pink”.

I just has to link up with this!

It’s pink, right?! It’s not a perfect photo but it does prove, I think, that pink can be a fall color!

Do you like pink? Please share!

Tree Leaf Primer

Posted on November 13, 2011 by Ann

I need to preface this post by saying in my particular area we don’t exactly get the intense fall colors you typically find in New England plus hurricane Irene damaged the trees making it hard to collect pristine leaf samples. I am NOT a tree expert! I follow my children’s interests and enjoy learning with them about our amazing natural surroundings.

With this said here is my fall 2011 tree leaf collection. I have tried to identity most of them at least by basic type with the help of a couple books: The International Book of Trees by Hugh Johnson and The Audubon Society Field Guide to North America Trees (Eastern Region) by Elbert Little. Enjoy and share!
