    Lindsay's Thoughts




    Today we went on a nature hike outside. I found a Tiger Moth. It was really cool. It was flying all around the place. It was tan with black stripes and had small antennas and six legs. We also took pictures of flowers, thorns, and, different insects. The thorns that we took pictures of are really colorful and beautiful. On that picture we cheated and put a leaf with dew beside the thorn. That helped made it look like a photographer’s picture. It had a lot of purple and yellow in the thorn. We took a lot of pictures of Granddaddy Longlegs. One of them we saw had seven babies on its leg. The babies were red. We took a beautiful shot of the longlegs it was standing on the leaf with a lot of green in it. This Granddaddy Longlegs was hard to find. When we first found the Longlegs it was on the bottom where all the leaves are. My trip was relaxing and a learning experience.

    Lindsey i liked the Tiger Moth you wrote about. It was so cool. I liked when you wrote about the antennas on the Tiger Moth and what the Moth looked like.
