In Wild Alphabet No. 4 we’ve named all the things we photographed. Each image opens a door into the life and times of these bits of nature. While writing the facts and folklore section of ABCs Naturally, I spent endless hours researching these fascinating pieces of our natural world. And I heard some great stories from the naturalists who helped me understand.

Yesterday I spent a wonderful afternoon with the third graders at Columbus Elementary School. I hope to hear from these budding young poets and naturalists.
