  Field study info Same spot photo Date   October 28, 2024 Time 6:40 Climate / conditions   Brisk, but not much of a breeze, just crisp air. Half the sky was whisky and/or stretched looking clouds, the other was clear blue and the beginnings of the sunset. Temperature   55 degrees   Length of day 8:14 AM - 6:41 PM (10 hours 27 minutes) Felt, smelled, heard, seen   I heard mainly highway noises today: rumbling of concrete under wheels, horns, engines, and lots of tires. Occasionally when those sounds would die down I would hear bits of chirping from different segments of brush around the water and near lines of trees.           Saw mostly brown today, nearly all the trees have lost their leaves due to wind and rain. The grasses are golden brown and starting to sound rustley when the breeze comes through. The sky was very clear and the sunset light was beautiful, but about halfway through the visit it was hard to see because the light...

  Field study info Same spot photo Date   November 26 Time 3:35  Climate / conditions   Sunny, bright, very windy and COLD! A few clouds, but the sky was mostly blue.  Temperature   39 degrees Length of day 7:50 am - 5:13 pm ( 9 hours and 23 minutes) Felt, smelled, heard, seen   I heard mostly traffic noise and the tall grasses rustling with the wind. I felt the wind - very, very cold and strong. Also, the ground was pretty soft today, but no puddles. I saw some changes in the water since the last time I was there and I officially see no more flowers.  Changes noticed There were piles of wood or dirt or something in the water that weren't there the last time I came.  Questions I'm wondering what those piles are in the water. And how is grass so green even though we've had such chilly weather recently?

  Field study info Same spot photo Date   November 11 Time 10:45 - 11:00 Climate / conditions   very cloudy, windy, and brisk. Almost no sunlight the entire time I was there. Temperature   55 degrees Length of day 7:31 am - 5:24 pm ( 9 hours and 53 minutes) Felt, smelled, heard, seen   The ground was very dry and so were all the sticks I picked up (there were a lot more on the ground than before).   I smelled a bonfire scent faintly and also the smell of very crisp windy air. I heard a bit of highway noise and some branches rustling, but NO LEAVES on the branches, those are all completely gone. I also heard no birds at all this time which was strange and I didn’t realize how much noise that had made before until they were gone. Almost none of the landscape had any color now. It has all transitioned into grays and golds. Changes noticed No birds singing, no leaves on the trees or on the ground, and not much color in the plants. And lots of the formerly green...
