Art Class Pics!

Hey everyone! One or two weeks ago in art class, we went outside and took pictures of whatever we found interesting. After taking the pictures, we went inside and used an app called PicsArt to edit the photos and make them our own. Below is a picture of a piece of concrete below a gutter and a tall/dead plant that I don't know anything about! Please leave positive feedback in the comments! (PS: if you know what that weird plant is, please tell me!)

Fall is here!

I know you might think that summer is the best time for photography, but fall is definitely one of the best times to do it. The red, yellow, and orange leaves are all sprawled on the ground in their colorful patterns. Not to mention is the weather is amazing! Sweater weather. Below are some pictures of leaves that I thought really captured the beautiful colors of fall. (it was wet that day, so there isn't as much beauty as there usually is vs when it's dry)

Dew, Dew, Dew!

So, I think that you probably know what dew is. You know, that wet stuff that covers the grass in the mornings? It might annoy you, (it definitely annoys me) but it's also one of the prettiest things around. The little droplets weigh down the clovers and make the soil thick and rich. Gives me the goosies just think about them. Below are some pictures I took of them. They are in a small patch of clovers on the edge of my neighbor's yard. Please take a look and tell me what you think about them!

Magical Greens!

Don't you just love it when springtime comes around and the grass turns back to a beautiful and rich green? It's my favorite! With fall just around the corner, I decided I would take some pictures of the grass while it's still green before it turns a boring brown. I wanted to do this early in the morning, so that way, the grass would still be dewy and moist. Please take a look at the pictures below and suggest anything you would want some pictures of. Bye!

Rocks, Rocks, Rocks!

A couple weeks ago, I had no idea what to take pictures of. I was at my neighbor's house when I noticed some rocks. I was going to take pictures of rocks, but I didn't really know what to say about them. Each individual rock is different just like humans. I took large pictures of multiple rocks and some on their own. Please take a look at the pictures below and tell me what you think about them, bye!

A Night Divided-Beginning

In the book we read yesterday, a girl woke up to sirens throughout her town. When she looked out the window she saw the Berlin Wall. The government had built the wall overnight. Unfortunately, two nights ago her father and brother went on a trip to the other side of the wall. The wall had not been built yet. The government didn't want people to be crossing the border anymore, so they built a wall. The girl's family was split up. Two nights earlier, one of their neighbors told them the government was going to do something about the people. He said their government cannot be trusted. I think the main problem is the struggle of trying to be with their father and brother on the other side of the wall.

Unknown Plants?

Last Sunday, I went on a trip to Adventureland. (an amusement park near Des Moines, IA.) On our way back from Des Moines, We stopped by a little open space in a forest. I took some pictures of a flower and two other things that looked new to me. Please enjoy the pictures below and comment on anything to take pictures of. Thanks!

Gross Statues?

Have you ever wondered about the beauty of moldy statues? You probably haven't. I bet you think it's ugly as well. Surprisingly, it's not! Below, I have some pictures of sculptures that have mold, rust, and just a bunch of dirt on them, but they look so beautiful up close. Please take a look at the pictures I have below and comment on anything that you would like me to take pictures of. Thanks!

Green Rocks!

Green may not be my favorite color, but I can't deny that it's everywhere! Grass, plants, and leaves. I took some pictures last week that show some really neat features of the things listed above. Make sure to look at those. I also have some really neat pictures that I took on Sunday that show some unknown plants' true colors. Make sure you give that a read later! Please take a look at the pictures below and I hope you have an amazing day. See ya next time!

Flowers Are Everywhere!

Don't you just love flowers? I LOVE them! Some of them may be poisonous, but they are truly a beautiful sight. I have a neighbor who is in love with flowers. They have lots of them. I have a good focus on my camera, so you can really see detail in the pictures below. I don't know what kind of flowers they are, but they look gorgeous anyway. Please comment any suggestions for pictures that you would like to see. Thanks!

The End of Ilnesses?

Starting today, I will no longer be posting blogs about illnesses, diseases, or just daily pains and aches. Starting in my next blog I will start sharing my photos of friends, plants, and sometimes just random pictures that were taken on my phone. Please comment any plants or random things that you want me to share, as well as questions! Thanks!

Post 31-Homophone Blog

A lot of people who are admitted to the hospital have injuries related to attacks. Whether it be from an allergic bee sting or a bear that attacked you. I know a bee sting might be pushing it a little bit, but some people really can't bear the pain. Other people will not go to the hospital, but soon find that their medicine cabinet is bare. If you're actually attacked by a bear though, you HAVE to go to the hospital. If you don't, then your family members might be losing you. Nobody would want that to happen.

The two most dangerous illnesses are heart disease and strokes. They are WAY too deadly. I know I wouldn't want to get those illnesses. Let's say that your cousin got admitted to the hospital from a neighborhood dog attack. Maybe you wanted to go make sure she was okay, so you stay at an American-Inn and go check him/her out. You CAN go in the room where she is being kept with the parent's permission, of course! The reason is that the patient isn't sick but just hurt. You can't catch a cut from somebody.

Post 25-Allergies

Before I list some examples, I just wanted to say that being allergic to something is NOT the same as allergies. Some examples of allergies include animals and plants. When you have allergies, you tend to have itchy skin, itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, nasal congestion, wheezing, and rash. Right now, I have allergies. I don't like it. I have a runny nose, dry/sore throat. and itchy eyes. Stay healthy and stay in "The Doctor's Office."

Post 24-Important or Not Important?: Amputation

Hello ladies and gentlemen! In this blog, I will be talking about amputation. Amputation is very important. It is when a certain part of your body has to be removed due to failure from infections and broken bones that might not be able to be fixed. Some examples of amputation are legs, arms, knees, feet, fingers, toes, eyes, ears, elbows, and so many more. Amputation is not a good thing. Especially if you play sports. If you do, then there's a good chance that you will not ever play your desired sport again. Stay healthy and stay in "The Doctor's Office."

Post 23-Fever

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about fevers. Obviously, we have all had our experiences with fevers. Almost every illness can trigger one. A fever is a temporary increase in your body temperature. Before thermometers were so famous everybody checked to see if they or somebody else had a fever by feeling their forehead with the back of their hand. The only concern of a fever is when the temperature reaches 103 degrees or higher. If the temperature increases more it could be deadly. Stay healthy and stay in "The Doctor's Office."
