Nature Vacations: It's A Bird! It's A Plane! Well It's Not Superman!

Did you ever watch a show where one person stops and is looking intently up in the air, the next person comes along and looks? Soon a whole crowd is trying to figure out what everyone is looking at.

Try it - go out, find a bug crawling, a worm wiggling, a spider hanging, or maybe even a Plains Garter Snake enjoying some frog legs (oops toad-legs) and start exploring yourself.

If you are bored with or afraid of nature, your kids might not be willing to jump in and explore? Well, some will, but I have seen many children robbed of their natural inquisitiveness by their parents fear of nature.

Most creatures will go out of their way to keep from being hurt and often, if you are slow and careful, you can get up close and watch.

Bring along your camera!
