Trout-Write to Learn, Post 9

Nature 101

A lifelong friend of mine, Amy Ouchley, naturalist, environmentalist, and writer, has always encouraged me to write to learn as I enjoy nature. One of her techniques is Nature 101, 'a way to log your observations in nature, preserve them in a unique format, and reflect on them in the future.'

 She advises to:

Observe.

Record.

Reflect.

Follow my use of Amy's list of 'Stop, Look, and Listen' verbs in my alevin observation.

Admire the two day old trout.

Call them alevins, newly hatched.

Notice their transparency.

Wonder where their nourishment is?

Observe the golden egg sac.

Spot the black and white eyes.

Ponder what these little fish see.

Thank you Amy,

With Heart
