Some cool things to do in nature
From The Bumper Book of Nature
Make a bark rubbing on a paper
sit/stand still for an hour and notice sounds
Record tree sounds in hollows
Blind walk in the woods
While keeping bird records in your nature diary - Date, Location, Time of sighting/time spent in the field, who you were with, weather conditions, names of species, any interesting or unusual behavior, memorable moments.
I was looking at Yellowstone trip pictures and found 2 rainbows in it and noticed that in the other the colors were reversed and 'count the colors of a rainbow' section confirms this.

Iceberg view of a young Weddell seal
Oceans
What a point it would be to stand away from earth and take alook at it, like the oceanographer and the child.
Blanket Octopus.
Marine Iguanas. A closeup shot. The patterns on its mouth like stiches in a row, cubes and then hexagons as you move up. The eye is like a far view of the cosmos. A picture of one going up with its forelimbs against the body and hind limbs like an outstretched frog's, like a ninja. It looks in peace.
