Hello, Nature Lovers! 

This past June was a fun month! We had a two tie-dye parties, with awesome creativity and a lot of people with good tips and great ideas for patterns. We will be distributing awesome sew-on patches for all who attended the party; thanks to Lisa and Tina, from MGX printing in New Brighton, MN, who donated 24 patches to the club. We hope to make a blog post with all the tie-dye creations soon.

While all this excitement was going on, a few things have been working in the background:

There is a flower scent contest (FSC) running now. It will end in August. There are some absolutely AWESOME entries being entered already! To view the results, please wait for the to the FSC blog post (Flower Scent Contest 2024).

Cartoonists Colette Wiering and Gabby Peck have been working hard on the seasonal cartoons. I hope you had a good laugh about the characters. Gabby is coming up with the story for this coming cartoon. Colette is working on drawing the cartoon and has painted the characters. We decided on doing one cartoon every season. It was too busy to do monthly, or even bimonthly. 

Our next club activity will be designing fruit sculptures; artwork on fruit using toothpicks. E.g: toothpicking a dragon artwork on a dragon fruit. More instructions coming in the chat.

P.S. What's your favorite marsupial? 

Options: 

Koala

Opossum (Olivia's favorite)

Quokka (My signature smiley face)

Kangaroo

Wombat (Is discord's Wumpus a Wombat?)


Have fun! My fav out of them all is probably the koala.


Signed with a quokka :)

    What fun! I was napping during the tie-dye event, but the pictures of everyone's tie-dye creations were awesome! Looking forward to see if I can snitch a bite of fruit during the fruit and toothpick sculpting activity, hehee

Chicken's interesting vision

  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...

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. SPONCH is a great acronym to remember those elements.  If this sounds too chemical, then let's get back to the fun living side of nature.
