FREE NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS AT KATES CABIN ON RAINBOW CREEK



WELCOME PEOPLE OF THE WORLD  
(AND OUTER SPACE, ALSO)


WARNING:  This Class has no fees, no tests, no homework, no dress code, no long classes, no Latin allowed on site, no skills required, no rules and no Teacher.


If you prefer a regular type class, go somewhere else.
I am brendasue, your classmate and guide here at Rainbow Creek.
I am presenting a short photostudy every page of the Nature here in the Texas Woods.
So come on in if you want to, have a look around and enjoy Kates Cabin Nature Studio.  It is my dream to bring this World in the Woods to Everyone in the World!



The first Dogwood Tree Flower popped open today!  They are green when they first open and change to white as they mature (next week)




I call these days:  The Dogwood Days of Spring!




Here is buzzbee on a Pear Tree Flower gathering pollen and putting it in the saddlebags on his back legs for easy transport back to the nest.  Who is going to give the signal to open the class?



Let the Class Begin!  Let the Class Begin!   Kay Lonnie and the little king opened the class together! Thank you.




Let the Class Begin!  Oh, remember this guy? It is King Buzz, who has already checked out of the sanctuary and headed for his nesting grounds.




Our Photostudy today includes the Spring Flowering Trees blooming at Kates Cabin today. Above is a Red Baron Peach Tree.



This is an Eastern Redbud Tree. Flowers appear before leaves making this a very striking tree when it blooms.




The Bee and the Bud



The Bud and the Bee




Crab Apple Tree (hoppa)

There you go! This concludes our photostudy for today. See, painless and easy, sometimes funny and just like (snap) you have added a touch of nature to your day.  Good to see you and come back.



Another Sunset comes to Rainbow Creek.  Goodnight King and Goodnight Kate. Goodnight Everyone, Everywhere.

February 4, 2010 Discover Life On Rainbow Creek by: brendasue


SPRING WARNING: Dogwood Trees Have Growing Buds at Kates Cabin on Rainbow Creek.



Welcome Everybody. Let's follow the Little King up to our rooftop observatory to begin our class. Kay Lonnie is waiting for everyone to arrive. It has gone to her head a little bit, now that the President flew over. A Star thing I guess.


Kay Lonnie has the Little King waiting on her foot and foot. She has Sissy bowing to her. Kay is really sucking all of this up!



The Little King is back there saying: "Oh brother, Let's get on with the show!"




Kay Lonnie has to shake her long ears out one more time so they look perfect for her Photo Shoot. The Little King has had just about enough of Kay Lonnie primping!




Let the Class Begin! Little King! You took Kay Lonnie's Spotlight! She is suppose to give the signal. I guess today it is a different story!



Look who came to our Class today. They are over here in a tree by the rooftop deck.
I have never seen them come to this tree before. Yet here they are on this cold gray day.



Good News! One of our good friends at Discover Life identified our green alien! Thank You!
He sent the following link which will take you right to the page:

I will not tell you what this green guy turns into! Go look at the link. It is very interesting.


Our Photostudy today will be of September in the Butterfly Garden at Kates.
(If you remember the kind of September when....................)


So your Pop Quiz today is to identify as many of these flowers and creatures as you can.
Send in your comments either here on site or at: katescabin@gmail.com
We will review these photos with the answers at a later date! Good Luck!

















































































This concludes our photostudy for today. How many did you already know?




Goodnite King and Goodnite Kate. Goodnight to Everyone, Everywhere!





It is a Rainy Night Tonite. Rainbow Creek is Rising. It is going to be a beautiful Spring around here!......................brendasue signing off from Rainbow Creek.....Sweet Dreams!
