Obsevations: Day 2

 Site 1

On this tree, there was a tree branch that was budding and it was showing life as we were there. The very end of the tip is where the bud is. The wind was blowing so hard it was difficult to hold on to the branch.

 Site 2

 On this bark of tree, on the ground, there is mold on the center portion of it and has started to take over on the leaves that have fallen too. Mold growing is a sign of life. We moved on to our next site with the sound of crunching leaves.

 Site 3

As we stumbled on over to the next site, we had to jump over a muddy creek and go over a bridge, and that is where I came upon this log. This is special log because it has many types of life, such as fungi and moss. It felt hard because it was so cold.

Site 4

We were returning back into the school when Mrs. Richardson said, "This is site 4." I had to think to myself, Where is life? What is it doing? I looked over my left shoulder and saw this gate with branches growing all over it. The gate was totally taken over in the branches. If you wanted to go on this little dock you would have to climb through all of the branches first, which I was not going to do! 

Observations: Day 1

                                                                            Site 1

      At this site, I heard different noises and felt the cool wind from the tree branches. As you can see in the above picture, the bridge has some ice on it and I can tell by the senses of the air, the rocks are frigid. You can't tell from the picture but the rocks had frost on them.

Site 2

         At this place I saw a frozen lake and cat tails depositing their seeds. The lake used to be just water, but because of the lower temperature that day, the lake was frozen over. It is now the season for cat tails to deposit their seeds in the air for new ones to grow new ones in the summer.

Site 3

       When we went to our third site look what we stumbled upon, a old car.  You can know that life once was here because a car cannot go any where with out a driver. This car ,you can see it better up close, has disintegrated and the car has developed rust.

Site 4

         This was our final site and I really didn't see life here, but I did see this and thought this was kind of cool. This is a tree branch that had been connected  to the tree but it either had fallen off or was cut off. The other branch below it caught it and kept it hanging so i guess it just wants to "hang" out!
