Path to Mont St. Michel

During our recent trip to France and England, we visited Mont St. Michel. After we parked we walked a while. Along the way I noticed something looked strange on the grasses and wildflowers. Here are my favorite photographs from that walk.

Tisdale Library Summer Reading

I spent time yesterday morning with children at my neighborhood library, the Tisdale branch of the Jackson/Hinds Library. I read Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator, Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature, a work-in-progress titled “My New School,” and we all made instant books. Many students also used Private Eye loupes to look at snails.
