What animals did I see this week? :

I saw sheep, dogs, horses, a fox on campus (!) and tons of cows!

What was the coolest thing I saw in nature this week?:

On Friday, a group of friends and I crossed a rope bridge called Carrick-a-Rede in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is separate from the Republic of Ireland (where I stay) and is actually a part of the United Kingdom. Crossing the bridge was scary because it moved with the ocean winds.

Other Nature News from this week:

I had the opportunity to visit Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, which was created by an ancient volcanic eruption that caused the interesting-looking basalt columns that you see in the pictures to form. However, legend has it that it was actually created by a giant who came to fight another giant, but got scared off.
