Field study #6 + ALL PHOTOS IN A ROW

Image
  2: Date: Nov 21 Time: 5:36 PM 3: Dark grey skies with a slight bit of white in the sky, 1.2 mph winds headed NW 4: 34 °   5: length of day: 9:32 6: 5 senses: Sight: It was so cold today I could see my breath in front of me. I found out that the reason we can see the breath when we exhale is because the moist air we exhale rapidly cools down in the cold air, causing the water vaper in the breath to condense into tiny water droplets, forming a little cloud! Hearing: The neighbor dogs were very barky today, and their owners were not happy around it either. At my grandpas house, the house behind him, and to his sides all own dogs, and it's like a chain reaction.  Smell: Because it rained and snowed most of today, I could smell the cold air and it kind of took over every other smell.

I couldn't see the path! I'm happy I got to at least see the leaves before they're covered in snow.  Smell; any smell I had was overtaken by the cold temperature and when I went in my nose was red (which hasn't happened in months).  Hearing; I did my sound map during this visit and the dogs that were near me were barking non stop. besides that I heard cars, squirrels running, leaves falling, and the wind chimes in my grandpas yard.    Feel; I felt very cold, but the leaves felt soft on my feet because of how many there were.  Taste; I tasted some sassafras that was almost out of its season, probably the last week to eat it.  7: change...

Smell; I could smell the humidity in the air, it was a lot hotter than last week.  Hearing; I could hear the trees going crazy in the wind, and one of the neighbors mowing the lawn.   Feel; I could feel the wind and warm air.  Taste; I could taste the raspberries I ate from my grandpas garden. 7: changes from last visit, today was hot, it was a nice temperate; just warm enough for shorts. A little change in color in the leaves in the trees,  and I saw lots of bees by the Mum flowers that have pollin in them.  I wanted to take a picture of the bees but forgot to, this is what the flower and bees looked like ( stock photo).

Smell; I could smell the wood that the construction workers were cutting. Hearing; I could hear the dog barking across the street, birds, my grandpa giving voice lessons, and the construction workers communicating.  Feel; I could feel the cool air and the moistness in the ground.  Taste; I could taste the candy that my grandma insisted i take before I go outside. .  7: changes from last visit, today was very cold, but a good kind of cold; just cold enough for a jacket. Not a whole lot of color change in the garden, but there were more leaves than I could count! I saw lots less insects (in fact none) because of the change in temperature.
