Sit down and enjoy the sounds of nature...


This little campfire place was taken today on our trip to the Wissachickon Environmental Center. It's located right outside the center, about 5 minutes away. I noticed there were a few other places similar to this where people can just sit down and enjoy the sound of nature. This one is especially nice because it seems like you can have a little campfire at night. With maybe even some marshmallow or smores!

Dandelions!


Remember when you were younger outside picking weeds off the ground? Do you remember the dandelions? They were these attractive little white fluffy balls that you just couldn't resist picking up and blowing them. I use to see them quite often in the neighborhood I live in, but now not so much anymore. So, it was quite a surprised today to see them on our visit to the Wissahickon Environmental Center.
