I Skyped with fourth and fifth graders in Maryland this afternoon. I love meeting classes this way! These students were well-prepared with good questions about my books and about writing. We had a great time!

At the end of the Skype, I picked up my webcam and showed them the scene outside the window where I write. I love to get outdoors and photograph, or just watch the animals, sky, trees, insects and flowers all around me. I asked the kids to go out with a camera, take a photograph of a nature scene that they love, write 100 words about it and send it to me here.

Would you like to do that, too? I would love to see photos and writing from any of my readers who love the outdoors like I do!
