Today I ventured out into Centennial Woods to choose my exact location of research and to begin my first round observations. It was drizzling out and a chilly walk from campus. I wandered through the woods for about half an hour before discovering a place I absolutely loved. A simple boulder by a stream, off the main path on a small trail just beyond the entrance. Perfectly secluded and a great spot to sit and be present in the nature surrounding me. A cardinal flew past as I made it to the entrance, and a squirrel wandered by me as I was taking notes. It appeared to be a spot largely untouched by human influence. It was a cloudy autumn day, and the landscape that surrounded me made the fall change of season even more prominent. It was a perfect day to spend outdoors. Look at the dropdown menu for specific information on what I observed.
