Seasons Change Week 26

Season: one of the four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), beginning astronomically at an equinox or solstice, but geographically at different dates in different climates.

Every morning on our way to my daughters school we go past a ranch with a long row of big trees that surely change with the seasons but we hardly notice. My kids and I have decided to embark on a project that will help us notice that gradual change on the trees. My daughter Sophia will take at least a weekly picture after school for a whole year, I will post it on my blog entry on Thursdays and my little one Xavi wants in it too so he will take a picture of some cows from a different ranch and improve his picture taking skills.

These pictures were taken on 3-30-11 on a nice sunny day...or should I say hot? I don't think I am ready for the heat!

We had a nice surprise when we drove up to the trees to take the pictures. You see that guy in the lower left hand side behind the fence? yes, two nosy horses showed up their faces. What am I talking nosy?? I am the intruder right? they were just doing their business. Xavi was so excited "mom get the horses!!

Cow story: the cows we used to take pictures of have been missing since December. Kids are on the lookout!

So this week we kept on looking for the cows, we stopped at this building where some nice murals are painted. This time we were looking for some information that could lead us to the cows.
