My college students found it easiest to identify trees and shrubs when in flower (like botanists do), then go back to them during other times of the year to compare. <br /><br />I love the "art" of bark - a great idea for working on elaborative details.<br /><br />Keep us all posted!<br /><br />Blessings ~ KimAllKidsCanLearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076899893012518463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009805181824213137.post-55022122216817726052012-11-19T17:04:24.372-08:002012-11-19T17:04:24.372-08:00Thanks for the link for the winter tree pocket gui...Thanks for the link for the winter tree pocket guide. I am going to put that in my favorites. <br /><br />When Barb did her tree study last month, we worked on trying to identify just using the bark (sometimes the buds are too high off the ground). I definitely need more practice. I was using a great book called "Bark" by Michael Wojtech. I think what I need to do is identify some trees with their leaves and then become familiar enough with the bark to be able to identify it when there are no leaves.<br /><br />Lots of great ideas in this post. Now I just need to put them into action!<br /><br />Sarahdstbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640426092185071874noreply@blogger.com
