Have #FunWithNature by placing a #leaf on a flat surface with it’s stem and veins facing upwards. Lay the paper on top and use a crayon to rub along the leaf. After a few passes, you will see the impression of the leaf appear. #NovaScotia #Nature

Plants, like #Daylilies, #Oranges, and #Carrots make great advantage of the #carotenoidpigments within their cells to increase the absorption of light energy for the purpose of #photosynthesis.

Many birds migrate to #NovaScotia for the #summer months and leave again when the weather gets cooler. Some birds stay all year round. #NovaScotiaBirding is an activity you can do in your backyard, by a lake, in a park or at the beach. How many kinds of birds live near you?
