Greetings, Christmas Day maybe over , but not necessarily the celebrations and we still have the new year a coming. Since we’ve been sick and not out much I’m choosing to make my selections from the last time I was able to get out ( this respiratory infection, RSV, doesn’t seem like it was to disappear.)
I’m taking you on a walk through The Farm ( one of Coleman’s favorite places) at The Schiele Museum of Natural History.
Entering The Farm …
Shapes, sign, green, lines
Turning Right past the farm you enter the Nature Trail. This directional sign points the way.
Poles, Signs, Green, Black, shapes, bushes (and trees in background)
Now let’s enter The Farm and have a look around…
Fences, Gates, Green, Lines, Signs (& Coleman)
Let’s take a look to see what we can find growing in the garden …
Beautiful Yellow and Green Flowers (a bit or orange too, but that doesn’t count here.) Lines and shapes as well.

And then venturing through the trees for a lovely enjoyable hike.
Autumn is the time of year we can see beautiful and colorful leaves abounding in nature from the greens trying to hang around, varying shades of orange and yellow and the awesome shades of Red in the leaves on the many plants and flowers amassed in our surroundings.
Seeing Autumn Leaves and …
Amazing shades of Red in flowers …
And not to deter from the Red in the plants and flowers; I’m throwing in a Throwback photo from the early 60’s.

Happy October! This month has begun with several trips to the Schiele Museum and lots of hiking. First of was The Early Explorers program at the museum. Early Explorers is for preschoolers (2-5 year olds). They do interactive play, songs, story time , and a craft each week based on a weekly theme. This week’s theme was Pumpkin.
Coleman’s Pumpkin 🎃 Craft art
Later in the day we rode the city transit over to the Gaston County Warlick Family YMCA.
Tree 🌲 Fungi
We meandered down & around along the Green Trail to enjoy a hike and look at we saw. We noticed some interesting fungi and some very active bees 🐝.
Bee 🐝 Pollination
The bees were having a pollinating party 🎉 it seemed. They were flitting to and fro devouring the sweet nectar of these bright yellow flowers.
Windshield Leaf 🍂
Lastly, we spotted a autumn 🍂 leaf 🍂 clinging to the windshield of his mom’s car later in the afternoon.
