holes where seeds had fallen from the bird feeder. The birds flew away as I approached them. I continued walking and scooped up some snow from the ground, shaped it into a rough sphere, and threw it at a tree trunk. The snow scattered, falling from the tree and from all the bushes surrounding the tree. As I treaded past the birdbath, I realized the

Teamwork. Together everyone achieves more. You could kind of say we are like trees in a forest, started from a small seed that develops into a twig. The twig gets bigger and looks like a young tree, and soon spreads its branches like a Willow tree. Trees and forests also have a brilliant feeling. Each tree is unique and very

There is a tall, rooted cherry blossom tree nearby a beautiful stream of running water in a small remote village in Vietnam. It has been there since 1992. A Vietnamese lady planted the tree dedicating it as a reminiscent to her deceased daughter. This tree she planted developed over the years. It grew more and more each year. It started as a little seed to an eight-foot tree. The branches grew to be so long that it wept to where it barely touched the water. The branches bundled with white cherry

peace in the journey of falling leaves and comfort in the swaying branches, I attempted to observe in detail. The very first thing I noticed as I walked past a long staircase to nowhere, was that a small squirrel was perched on the lowest branch of the tree nearest me. I slowly knelt down in order to get a closer look while trying not to stir him; taking in the amber tone of his bushy fur, and the high gloss that finished each of his eyes. I could see a drop of dew that sprouted from his nose and I wondered

Chimpanzees One of the the four ape species that professor Stanford discusses in his book, Planet Without Apes, is the chimpanzee. Chimpanzees can be found throughout the continent of Africa; they are primarily located in rain forests, but can also be found inside open woodlands or areas where trees and brush are present.

Use green paper to cut-out enough leaves for every name on each child's list, plus some extra leaves for future friends. Write one name

I chose the Forest stream art piece for my paper. It is done by Harriet Dyer Adams in 1910. It is an oil on an 11x14 canvas. The contour of the lines in this painting really make it an exceptional piece to admire. The tree trunk and branches would be similar to any other tree had the artist not used great detail in her lines. The stream is flowing full in the beginning of the piece but as it goes in the distance it gets narrow. The artist also used great linear perspective with the way the trees
