Earth Week at The Magnifying Glass and An Interview With Me!

Be sure to visit The Magnifying Glass this week
(and everyday!) for their Earth Week celebration!
The Magnifying Glass is an online nature journal written
by a wonderful group of contributors that have a special
love for the natural world. They always have something
interesting to share - crafts, activities, science
experiments, book reviews and interviews.

I was asked for an interview this week and there
isn't any other day of the year that I would rather be
associated with than Earth Day so it was an honor! One
of the the interview questions was what are some of
my favorite wild places on Earth. Click on over to see
my answers and in the comments I would love
to hear your answers as well!

Crow Pictures!

The kids at Se7en made all these crow pictures for my
3rd anniversary - aren't they wonderful?! I have posted
the collection over at Facebook and I thought if any one
else wants to send in their child's picture of a crow I'd
love to add it in. This will be ongoing so anytime
you're ready, send it over!
