Field study #6 + ALL PHOTOS IN A ROW


 

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 did some research on that as well and found that cold air causes odor molecules to move more slowly, making it harder for them to reach your olfactory receptors in your nose.
Taste: my grandpa gave me some sunflower seeds as an early birthday gift, and I ate them while I sat and listened for a while. 
Feel: here's something interesting, it was raining pretty hard most of today but this tree was dry on one side, and wet on the other.
 




7: changes from last visit: Today was very cold, the coldest say so far. And it was the only visit that took place that it had snowed the same day, so everything just looked kind of wet, and soppy.  I was only in a hoodie and sweatpants and wanted to go inside. There were still lots of leaves on the ground, even more than last time, and almost no leaves on the trees besides the pine trees.

Extra note: This was a great way to view the process of changing of seasons, I'm glad I got to pick where I want to do the field study and given the freedom to do it on the day that I want within the deadlines; great project!

    Great finish! You have an interesting spot in that some things change a lot and some things almost not at all!

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).

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.
