Field Study

  Thursday, October 27, 2022 Thursday, October 27 field notes: This was the fourth visit I made to my location. It was a little bit cloudy, and considerably colder than my last visit. It was around 51 degrees, but felt cooler than that. But there was a light breeze, and it was very enjoyable visit! The length of the day was 10 hours and 31 minutes. Today on my visit, I saw that the majority of the trees' colors had changed, and many of the leaves had fallen to the ground.

The length of today was 11 hours, and 10 minutes. Somethings I saw on my visit was the gradual changing of colors of a few trees, many yellow fallen leaves on the trail, and a little bit of sunlight poking through a couple of trees. I could feel the slippery leaves beneath my feet, the wind blowing through the trees, and felt the texture of a few different leaves. I could hear the football game going on, the water in the stream, and the wind blowing in my ears.   Here is a picture of the woods I took on my visit today: -- As you can see from this picture, most of the trees are still green...
