Nature Study

By Elizabethwix

When I was at primary school in England in the 1950's we had "Nature Study" classes - but in fact we seemed to spend most of our time doing 'nature study' on our own in the woods and streams and fields nearby. Even the back yard is replete with possibilities. Worms!

Definitely worth hunting for.

And other weird stuff under stones... (photo taken in October on a mild day!)

Even in November there are nasturtiums and roses, snapdragons and parsley. Soon the frost will come and all this will be  memory.

Underfoot, leaves gleam, and in the market fruit abounds.

Apples

Rosehips.

Edible calendula... who knew - though we always ate nasturtiums.

Little bits of flowers from the roof garden.

And pears

and Winesap apples - the very best for eating and cooking and looking at.Nature study indeed.
