Index Page- Nature Observation Blog

This is my Nature Observation Blog which is aptly entitled "The Circle of Life".  I initially thought when given the assignment of having to blog about nature that developing a name for my blog would be simple.  I quickly found out it wasn't.  I think we assume "it's just nature" so let's name it something involving, animals or plants but when I thought of those things it didn't seem to fit.  My blog won't be just about animals and it will not solely be about plants so I need something that would encompass nature and all it's components thus the creation of the name "The Circle of Life".   I also will be completing a field study which I will post and provide a link to on my blog. As I travel everyday to areas that I frequent, I had not noticed how many organisms are simply just sitting there that I haven't paid attention to before.  Are links to each organism:
