Good Timber (continued)

by Douglas Malloch

Good timber does not grow with ease:

The stronger wind, the stronger trees;

The further sky, the greater length;

The more the storm, the more the strength.

By sun and cold, by rain and snow,

In trees and men good timbers grow.

Where thickest lies the forest growth,
We find the patriarchs of both.
And they hold counsel with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife.
This is the common law of life.

Photography: Take pictures of the things from your gratitude list above, or of things you could photograph that represent your gratitude items.

Imaginative Arts:

Draw and color a bird. Choose an image from a birding guidebook or from the internet. Add as much detail as you can. You can choose any bird; if you are having a hard time narrowing it down, consider drawing the bird you did your report on earlier. (You can even trace the outline, if that would be helpful in getting started.)

Here are some links to websites, if you need some ideas:

Ducks

Audobon's bird illustrations

All about birds (good place to find a good photo if you already know what bird you want to draw)
