Amazing Things You Find in Nature

Over the past few months, I have taken a lot of pictures of interesting things that I found in my backyard. I saw animals and a cool math leaf. I bet you are wondering what a math leaf is. It is a leaf that has a pattern on it that has something to do with math. I will show you a picture of it soon.

Usually, a covey (k∂v • ee) of quails comes to our backyard. The biggest amount of quails I have ever seen was 34 quails!

Here are all of the quails in the backyard.

Here is a male quail (hey, a rhyme :-)). 

Here is a female quail. 

We also see other animals such as deer.

Here are two deer grazing (eating grass).

Here is one deer eating grass and one aware of my camera's sound. That's a smart deer.

Now both of the deer are aware of my camera's sound, and they are running away.

Now the two deer are running away really fast because they think the little click that my camera makes is an enemy coming to get them.

 Here is the math leaf!

The math leaf looks like a fraction! The numerator and denominator are not numbers though. They are colors! The fraction is red greens (that sounds really weird)! 

Here is the other side of the math leaf. That fraction is green yellows. 

What interesting animals do you have in your backyard?


 Have you ever found a covey of quails?


Have you ever investigated plants to see if their were any cool leaves on them? 

Having Fun With Christmas Toys

Over winter break, I went to my nana’s house to celebrate Christmas. When I got there I saw all of my nana’s Christmas toys.  I loved them when I was little, and I still love them. I sat down and started playing right away!

Soon, it was very late at night so I had to go to bed.  When I woke up the next morning, I played with them from 6:00 A.M to 10:00 A.M and had so much fun!  Then I had to leave to go to back to my grandmas house (that is where I had come from). I was really sad to have to leave, but I knew that I was going to come back the next week and stay for four whole days!  

The next week, when I returned to my nana's house, my cousin was there.  We immediately started playing with all the toys. I took lots of pictures.

Here are some pictures:

The Tower of Chaos

Over the holidays, I got a gift from my grandma and my grandpa. It was HUGE! I wanted to see what it was really badly so I opened it first. I was surprised to find a huge marble work labeled The Chaos (kayos) Tower. I wanted to start building it right away, so after I opened all the other presents I got, I started building it. All I had time for was the framework. Over the next couple of days, I got farther and farther into the tower. 

Finally, I finished it! I was really happy!

Here is a video I put together with my dad of The Chaos Tower.

Have you ever put together a marble run or seen one?

Playing Chess

This week I had an after school enrichment class and it was a chess class. I noticed my friend and classmate Brenden was taking the same class as me. I asked him if he wanted to come to my house and do a blog post about chess. He said, "yes." I was so happy!

When we got home we set up a chess mat and took some pictures and started playing. 

Here are the pieces are moved around the mat.

                                                      

Here, Brenden and I are playing.

Some black pieces got out!

Some white and black pieces got out!

This is a checkmate called the rook crusher. The black king can't move up because the rook is blocking him. He can't move down because the other rook is blocking him. He can't move sideways because the queen will get him. Checkmate!

Here is another way to do the rook crusher. The moves are the same but it is set up in a different position. 

Sincerely,

Royce and Brenden
