Our Backyard Tree Project

We worked on Our Backyard Tree Project since last spring, taking pics of the trees and bushes throughout each season. This project was inspired by Great-Grandma who can tell us all of the trees in our yard by name. We wanted to know too so we we made it a project. Here are some pics of it all put together:
