Seasonal changes
October 25th
Since my last time at my spot, there have been many changes seasonally. Before, the trees had started losing their leaves, but for the most part, they were still bright green. When I came back to this spot this time, there were a lot of changes. Much more leaves had fallen, and the trees were starting to change color. The trees that were still green were less vibrant compared to before. As well, the temperature was much colder. There were fewer insects and animals. This time around, there were many more people around my spot. There was a loud group of students who were hammocking and listening to music on a speaker. I could also hear what sounded like a family with young kids from across the river and a group of college-aged kids back near the main entrance. When I first entered my spot, I did hear a bird chirping, but soon after, a military jet flew by, silencing the bird. With all the disruption, I didn’t see any animals, other than hearing a couple of birds. The colder weather could have also brought across this change. More animals could be preparing for winter or could have migrated, meaning they wouldn’t be out and about.
