It was nice to head back to my spot. I took a seat on the footbridge for my five senses observations.
Sight: I saw a few little fish in the water, and saw the water swirling around the rocks. I saw red and yellow bittersweet berries. I saw some ticks that crawled on me!! (I got rid of them)
Touch: The air was crisp and fall-like, but still had a pleasant warmth from the sun. I felt the water and it was really chilly.
Sound: I heard some birds chirping and the quiet noise of the brook. Compared to last week, the brook was much lower in volume. I heard crickets as well, and the sound of cars and people talking in the distance.
Smell: There was a nice “leafy” smell in the air, and the earthy scent of mud.
Taste: Unfortunately I did not taste anything.
Last time I visited, there was a lot more colorful foliage on the trees and bushes. Now, the trees and bushes had dropped almost all of their leaves. The bittersweet had produced new berries as well.
