Spring Break and Nature

So this last week was spring break for my son and I pretty much lived at Shannon's house. Shannon lives in the middle of nothing where here house is 8 feet up in the air and sits on and acre and a half. Lots of extra land and lots of nothing to do. No phone. No Internet. No Cable. just trees and grass. Well one day while she was at work i took the boys outside to play. Yes I was being a kind friend and babysat so she could work and make a life for her son. Well i got out my camera and started playing around. I took pictures of the boys playing around but that's another post. I found some really neat things walking around. Here are some of the things I found.





Don't know if u can see it but there is a butterfly on the flower. Cool huh?



Lots of dead trees.



This my son called "the Wonderland Rabbit hole." He said Alice was in it.



Another dead tree....but it's creepy because it's howled out.




Mulberries! She has a large tree just down stairs full of fruit. The boys and I ate the heck out of them.




This is the swamp/pond in her back yard. I don't know if I should call it a back yard but it's back there.





Beautiful palm trees.




Yes this tree really is laying on the ground.





Another semi dead tree...although I didn't touch it because I wasn't sure if it was covered in poison ivy and I know that there is quite a bit outside.
Oh and to finish is out...a real working out house. No I have never used. Actually I have never seen anyone use it in the last 5 years she's been out there.
