    Today was really chilly and windy. The trees are all bare by now, and the leaves have fallen off. I noticed that the creek is still pretty high in comparison to my first few visits. I didn't see or hear very many animals today other than a squirrel or two on the path.

    Today was very quiet and still. It was really calm and pretty. It was really chilly though. There were tons of orange leaves on the ground and it's so pretty. Most of the trees are fully bare at this point. I could hear some birds, but not many other animals today. The creek had a pretty high water level though because it rained recently. Overall a beautiful fall day. 

Sketching

I decided to sketch this leaf that I found that caught my eye.

Field notes:

    Today was a beautiful fall day, and seemed a bit more busy than usual. There were quite a people, and even a couple of kids. I also heard multiple cars. It was muddy by the creek, and there were a bunch of leaves in the creek. It didn't flow much at all today. The leaves on the trees looked super pretty today, and everything was yellow. Some of the tips of the trees were orange too, and the leaves on the ground were super satisfying to crunch. 

Field notes #3: October 8

Temp: 64°

Length of day: 11 hours, 25 minutes

Field notes:

    Today was really peaceful with the perfect weather! It was a tiny bit windy, but otherwise it was all still. The sky was super pretty, no clouds, just a beautiful blue. There weren't any birds or frogs today, but I did see a few fish, and water skeeters. I also noticed some cool mushrooms around the woods. There were a lot of leaves on the ground again which were all over. Other than the creaking of the trees with the wind there wasn't a whole lot of noise, and the creek hardly moved.
