 January 2024

Happy New Year, Nature Lovers!

This past October, we had an anniversary party-- That's right, ABC Nature Club celebrated it's first year in the midst of pumpkins and jack'o'lanterns! We held a pumpkin carving contest, with a lot of amazing pumpkin carving artists-- we are grateful for Gabby Peck to decide the winners. 

They are: 

Best Theme Pumpkin: 


Silhouette of a bear from Colette Wiering


Most Creative Pumpkin(s):


Scary things you don't want to see on your car by Anatole Wiering


 Best Photoshoot:




A mix of arts on one pumpkin by Olivia Wiering

Best Lighting:


A Tree from Botanical expert Stella O'Neill 
And a Tower of Pisa from Kate Bohanan.




Finally, Thank you everyone for carving your pumpkins. We hope to have another fun activity like this one next year. If any nature lovers happened to carve a fun pumpkin that had a nature stamp to it, please show us in the comments below.

Now it's the New Year already and we still haven't really had a nice activity (other than distributing prizes which was really fun.) We are thinking of a fun Valentine's Day party-- but we need suggestions for what to do as activities. What would be some great Valentine's Day activities?
 See you next time!

  Chicken's Vision Chickens have different things about their eyes than we do;  Monocular vision, Different eyes for different tasks, Motion vision, and Ultraviolet vision. Monocular vision: People have what is called binocular vision. That means both eyes work together to form one image. But chickens have monocular vision. They still have two eyes, but they are widely separated on each side of their head. So they can see a very wide field of vision -- 300 degrees! This helps them watch for predators easily. Ever tried sneaking up on a chicken? You just can't. Different eyes for different tasks: Surprisingly, a chicken's left eye excels at focusing on distant objects, such as predators, or their own flock, whereas their right eye is good at close focus, such as when searching for bugs and worms. It's kind of queer to know that your backyard friend IS looking out for you. This is why chickens tend to tilt their head or eye you with one eye when looking at you Motion visi...

  The world is full of life, living organisms, plants, interesting living organisms, plants, interesting living things and interesting man-made things. And this blog is going to have an article every two weeks or so about the living side of the world.  Living organisms are made of cells. The most important elements for life are:  water, air,habitat, heat, light, and some other things too. All things are made of elements. The vital elements are: sulfur, phosphorus, oxygen and hydrogen{65% of your body is H2O!(Water)}, nitrogen, and carbon.

Here's a interesting thing that happened recently; Go to the next article if you have time!
