Nature in Our Development: Walking to the Grocery Store...

I have to give props to the developers of our current community for all of the beautiful nature they have preserved amid the home construction in our development. Though the houses were built on a former corn field and the only trees are saplings dotting the lawns of the homes, there is so much nature for the children to see around the community we live in.

For example, we have a bike path that leads us to the grocery store and meanders past a pond, gardens, frogs (and tadpoles), ducks, rabbits, fish, a multitude of birds that we are working on identifying, and lots of natural plant life. Who wouldn't want to take this little walk with the kids daily?
