Shakespeare Fair

Before I start- I bet you are asking, what's a Shakespeare fair?
The Shakespeare fair is for all the kings and queens in our Shakespeare class who worked hard to become kings and queens and they get a special dinner and get served dinner by peasants and there's a shortened Shakespeare play, and everyone dresses up so basically it's a fun Elizabethan night!


How do you become a King or Queen in your Shakespeare class?
To become a king or queen in out Shakespeare class has to read, watch, see or listen to 17 or more Shakespeare plays. That's a lot of Shakespeare!

For the beauty of the earth...

One of the hymns I like is "For the beauty of the earth". One of the reasons I like it so well is becasuse I love the earth and finding beauty on it. Like simple things that if you take time to look at are really beautiful. The picture below is part of my cousin's swing set. It's not a nice piece of wood I went and looked for it's just part of the swing set. All of the pictures I've taken are in my yard or my cousin's. Enjoy!












Do you like to take pictures of Nature?
Why do you?
Have a great Sunday!

Roses

Today I went outside and found some mini roses/flowers (I always think of the as "Mini Roses") that were blooming. When I looked at the bush it looked sorta ugly but when I look at it through my camera it looks so much more pretty. I love that! Here are some of my pictures.

Which are your favorites?











Next up - Leafs and Dandelions!
