Snow flakes fall softly
Church bells are ringing clearly
Happy children play

Welcome!
Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Thanks to the many other authors that help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations.
I have always had a latent interest in birds and photography and have been lucky enough to find time to explore these interests over the last few years. I am very thankful to the Cattaraugus County Bird Club for getting me started, sharing their wealth of knowledge and for their wonderful programs. And many thanks to Tom for letting me share some of my adventures and photos on the Monarch Nature Blog.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

A stunning photo. What are the red lozenges floating in the trees?

Ice Pellets drop down
Tires slide all over road
Ice Pellets don’t care

Sorry, I had to try to make one and it stinks…
I like yours better.

@ Crayon – didn’t she do great?? Those are snowflakes! When I took the picture a gust of wind blew snow all over me and the sun was shinning through the flakes! Don’t you love them?
@ John, that’s because you didn’t even do it right! Easy to remember 5-7-5 syllables!! But I guess that’s why I leave it up to the kids to come up with these great nature haikus!!

So sweet. I love it when kids like to write. ~Nita~

A perfect fit between photo and poem. I enjoyed both.

Tell ‘E’ it is beautiful.
And a winter wonderland photo. 😉

Beautiful photo – it really captures the icy winter beauty. Isn’t it fun working with young people who are interested in and appreciate nature?

These haikus are great! And the pictures that accompany them are too. Does the photo come first or the Haiku? Those younguns will keep you young. Not that you need this at your age. I was thinking more about myself.

@ Nita – and they do such a wonderful job with it!
@ Marvin – thanks and she did do great!
@ Toni – they read this and enjoy your comments!
@ Wren – it sure is fun working with them! Thanks
@ Lisa – actually while talking to them on the phone . . . I said that “I needed some winter haiku poems”. Within a very short phone conversation they were able to come up with 4 different ones. Then I try to pick a photo from what their creative minds come up with.

I love the Haikus! This is just perfect with the photo-and I love those red lozenges too 😉
11 December 2007 at 9:35 am
What a fabulous picture!! I saved it in my picture file and it’s now *starring* as my desktop wallpaper. Thanks guys!

Great job, E! I like your Haiku.
That’s a magical photo, Tom. Looks so quiet and peaceful and COLD.
11 December 2007 at 10:16 am
Nice picture and Haiku. I didn’t know about 5,7,5 syllables. You learn something new every day!

Wow–it’s 66 degrees here in Virginia. Almost makes me want it to snow but not quite. Tell Naturalist E I love the Haiku–perfect with the picture.
11 December 2007 at 11:00 am
Wow – Wonderful Haiku and Wonderful photo!
I am impressed! Great Job “E”!
PS – are you scheduled for more snow/ice this week? It’s 68 degrees here today.
11 December 2007 at 12:08 pm
@ Marg – glad you enjoyed this, E did great with it!
@ RuthieJ – sent you an email . . Thanks!
@ Mary – cold it is and I am very lucky to have them helping with my blog!
@ Erie – that is the main key of Haikus but also read something about 5-7-5-7-7!! Did you know there is blogs that are specifically geared to Haiku?
@ Joan – would rather have the 66!! LOL I believe she will be finding everyone’s comments here soon!
@ Kerri – she does great for sure! I have the weather man on right now and hearing about rain/mix/snow! Yep!

Such a sweet haiku, and a gorgeous snowy picture! 🙂
