These flowers are
about the size of a
quarter and look like a lion’s
mane, because the petals are
long, yellow and fuzzy. The
green leaves look like they
have teeth. Once the seeds set,
the stem gets really long and
the petals turn into white,
fluffy seeds.

The seeds on these large
trees have wings! Maple
trees can be identified by seed
pods that fly like little
helicopters. Because the seed
is off center, the wing spins
around in the wind, carrying it
away. The leaves have five
points.

Rabbits are small,
furry creatures that
are light brown in color with a
white cotton tail. Look for
their tracks on the ground
where the big back feet (6")
jumped off ahead of the front
feet. Their long hind legs are
for jumping long distances.
They can be found in wooded
areas and crossing yards in
suburban neighborhoods.
