There's so much I want to show you and tell you about, and it's tough because you live so far away. So I thought I'd use this blog to try and share things with you. So often I see something and I think, "Noah would like this, I wish I could show him." And, so, with your mommy's help, I will. I love you and miss you and think of you often.
Love,

Dear Noah,<br />
<br />
This adorable little guy is a Winter Wren. He only visits Louisiana in the winter because he really likes cold weather. He nests waaaaay up north like in New York and Canada. He is so tiny you could put him in your pocket. Isn't he cute?<br />
<br />
love,<br />

Dear Noah, They call these two trees the Butt Trees. Can you see why? Big Butt and Bigger Butt.<br />
<div>

One day when I was paddling with my friends we saw this spider on the Big Butt tree. It was bigger than two of your hands! Yikes! It's carrying its green egg sac.<br />

<br />
Thought you might like to see this video of Puffins. There are adults and babies; can you tell them apart? At the very end is the sound I was telling you about. That is the sound they make when they are in their little caves talking to each other!<br />

I saw this bird today that I knew your mom would love so this is one for you to show to your mom. Cause it's blue, and awesome besides. It's called an Indigo Bunting. I tried to get a picture of a green bird for you, but it would not cooperate. I'll keep trying!<br />

<br />
Remember today I told you about the frog that dropped from the tree? I was walking along and looking up at a bird and suddenly there was this frantic squeaking and something PLOPPED down on the ground a few feet from me. I saw a bird fly away but couldn't tell what kind it was. I walked over to see what fell and it was this frog.<br />

He was very still and all puffed up. He must have been very scared. He didn't move a muscle when I took his picture.<br />

Then slowly, slowly, slowly, he let his breath out and relaxed. I guess he figured out he wasn't going to get eaten today! Even his color changed from light green to gray green. He looks like a whole different frog here!<br />

Summertime in Louisiana is full of bugs and some of the biggest and noisiest are the cicadas. They start buzzing in late morning and don't turn it off until the sun goes down. Sometimes they're so noisy you can hardly hear yourself talk! They're pretty interesting insects. The adults lay the egg in the ground and the eggs hatch and larvae grow underground. When it's time, they make their way to the surface and climb up on something...like a tree or a bush or even a house. Then the cicada sheds it<br />
s larva shell by splitting it down the back and emerging. Its wings have to dry before it can fly. This is a big bug -- bigger than your dad's thumb! We only occasionally see them here -- they mostly stay high in the trees. But today I saw a dead one and then I found the shell and that made me think of the time I put the shell on your shirt. So I thought I'd show you some pictures of this weird and wonderful bug.<br />

I went out on a boat yesterday into the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico. I was with some birding friends and we were looking for special birds...birds that don't like to come to land but only live in the ocean. We didn't find too many. But we saw some other cool stuff!</div>

<br />
I saw this today and thought you might like it. Ask your momma to look them over and see if there are any apps she will install on the ipad for you. They look like a lot of fun!<br />

<br />
Last weekend and friend and I went to a very special place in Louisiana. It's a place where the plants eat the insects instead of the insects eating the plants! <br />
<br />
This is called the Pitcher Plant. It grows tall, about as tall as your knee, and it grows like a tall, skinny cup. It even holds water like a cup. And it has sweet nectar under the hood at the top that insects like ants like to eat. But when an ant or another kind of insect crawls on it, they fall into the cup of water and drown and the plants eats them up.<br />

<br />
Think this fly might get eaten??<br />
<br />
This next one is called Sundew. There are different kinds of Sundew plants and this one is very tiny. You could probably hold this whole group of plants in the palm of your hand. Do you see how the leaves look like they have water on them? That's actually sticky nectar, like honey, that attracts insects. But if any insects tries to eat the nectar they get stuck and then the plant traps them and eats them.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfktrrDciSs" target="_blank">Here's a video of a Sundew in action!</a><br />
<br />
These kinds of plants are called "carnivorous" plants. "Carnivorous" means meat-eating. I am carnivorous and you are, too! But not very many plants are. Most plants just eat nutrients found in the soil. <br />
<br />
This is a famous kind of carnivorous plants. It's called a Venus Fly-trap. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPQsVY6rduY" target="_blank">Here's a video of one eating a bee! </a><br />
<br />
Carnivorous plants are pretty cool, aren't they? I'm just glad they aren't big like trees so they can't eat birds and animals and people!<br />

Dear Noah,<br />
<br />
Have you caught any cool bugs to look at in your bug viewer? I would like to see what you caught!<br />
<br />
I saw some cool bugs this weekend. Do you see them there on that wet stump? I saw them while I was kayaking. The bugs crawled up out of the water and then they crawled out of their shells and left their shells on the stump! You can see one of the live ones there on the stump. He has reddish eyes. These are supposed to be dragonflies, but the don't look like any kind of dragonflies I ever saw! How about you? Here are a couple of cool dragonflies for you. Do you have dragonflies in California? What color are they?<br />

Dear Noah,<br />
<br />
I wanted to introduce you to the Banana Spider. It's a common spider here in Louisiana and we see a LOT of them in the summer time in the woods. It's also called the Golden Silk spider because its web is golden in color. Can you see that in this picture?<br />
<br />
This picture has two spiders in it. Which one do you think is the daddy (male) and which one the mommy (female)? It might not be what you think!<br />
<br />
It's pretty cool that spiders can spin webs out of their body...like Spiderman :-) Or I guess Spiderman is like a spider, since the spider came first! Anyway, they can make this cool web stuff out of their body and they make a web but only the *inside* part is sticky! It traps the insects that the spider will eat. The outside part that connects the spider to the stuff around it is not sticky at all; it's just very strong! How do they make two different kinds of web?? Pretty amazing stuff.<br />

This picture is one of my favorites. It's a picture of spiderwebs in the early early morning when the dew collected on the web and looks like diamond jewelry. Pretty neat, huh?</div>

<br />
My momma and I went to a farm last weekend. I was so excited to go I was jumping up and down when she told me. I really wanted to see some animals and we did! We saw goats, cows, a sheep, lots of chickens and turkeys. One of the chickens was being funny and trying to sleep in a hole it made in the leaves. We met a horse named Red who pulled us around the farm in a train. He was SO BIG.<br />

<br />
When we talked on the phone the other day I told you I was going kayaking. I love to kayak in the cypress lakes in Louisiana! There are so many fun things to see. I especially love the birds. Here are a few that I saw when I was kayaking the other day...<br />

Dear Noah,<br />

I don't know if you remember, but you and I went to look for a special duck one time. We drove a long way and we went to a refuge where there were lots of ducks and geese and other birds. When we got there, you asked "Will there be Ibis here?" So anytime I see an Ibis I think of you. I saw this White Ibis today. He had just found his lunch...a nice big juicy crawfish! It was still alive, of course, so the Ibis had to work on until the legs and claws came off, and then he was able to swallow it whole! GULP! I love to eat crawfish, but I don't think I'd like to eat it like that! Would you?<br />
<br />
love,<br />

Dear Noah,<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I found some more frogs when I was out on the lake last weekend. These are all frogs; they were all found near the water. Toads like to live on land. Plus they could really jump! Toads kinda walk -- they can't do big leaps like frogs do because they don't have those strong back legs! Did you know that people eat frog legs?? I noticed these frogs look kinda like they have warts though...maybe both frogs and toads are warty!</div>
<div>

<div>
Ribbet! Which frog is your favorite?</div>
