Sample Paragraph:

We had so much fun hiking through Flat Rock Nature Center today. The leaves on the trees were changing colors and there was a gentle breeze in the air. We observed several birdwatchers waiting patiently in the forest hoping to catch a glimpse of a blue crested robin. We saw raccoons, squirrels, and some deer.

We sat down at picnic table to eat sandwiches we had brought with us from the deli. This picture shows us eating our lunch near the pond. We fed the squirrels while we ate. What a truly “natural” experience we had today!
