Receive Text UpdatesNature is his friend. He studies at home, and the forest has been his most beautiful school. He loves trees, climbing them, hugging them, and finding sap in their trunks. He enjoys recognizing birdsong and searching for creatures. The forest is where he has fun and learns.
He loves snakes because they have the most adorable eyes ever! LOL Plus, they're very strong. The snakes that Ezra usually catches and then returns to their habitat are Garter snakes and water snakes when we go to the river. Ezra has an encyclopedia of amphibians so we, as a family, learn which snakes are harmless and which are dangerous. But she also likes frogs, lizards, salamanders and quails.
Ezra loves tracking animals in the forest, exploring their homes, and playing catch and release with harmless creatures. We live in a forest, so it's a daily activity. He also knows which season is best for looking for certain animals. He also enjoys searching for treasures for his altar (stones, branches, acorns) and filling Mom's basket with trash that other people leave behind, because he knows he's the protector of the forest and takes his job very seriously.
