Observation
I have a little notebook I keep in my camera bag. It’s just a cheap little spiral with a green cover. Green because my favorite color is green. It’s there so I can take notes on the birds, etc. that I’ve seen and taken pictures of when my wife and I go on one of our hikes.
Guide
So, you finally got yourself a pair of binoculars. Maybe you’re birdwatching, spying on squirrels (completely normal), or trying to get a better view at a football game because your cousin got the cheap seats. Whatever your reason, knowing how to use binoculars properly will make the whole experience a lot better.
Observation
Our next door neighbor had quite a few plants growing in his backyard - several varieties of flowers, a couple of small trees…and a tall purple thistle.
Your backyard is already full of life. The only thing missing is attention. The Starter Kit is a simple way to begin paying it.
