Catch and Release
D caught this frog on the way into summer camp. We had a good look (and photo) before we released it back into the garden. I love how both D and C have started to observe their environment more carefully -- spotting critters, interesting plants, watching behaviors.
This change in behavior -- becoming more observant -- is what motivated the EcoPhoto Project (people.uncw.edu/borretts/courses/bio366/ecophoto.pdf) I know assign as part of my Ecology courses. My hope is that we can use the camera lens, often embedded in the student's phones that of often distract their attention, to re-direct and focus their attention on the world around them.
