Field Study 4 - Changes

There were finally very noticeable changes in the area. The colors that I could see in the dark weren't as vibrant, and a lot of the plants had turned brown. 


However some plants still had "flowers" on them and the prickers and grass were still green and purple. 



The biggest change in the area was the pokeweed. They had lost their color and looked to be wilting. But they were still the same height. 



Despite being in the dark and having some quad trouble, the area seemed much more peaceful at night. The forest seemed to be still and asleep.

    I like that you did a night visit but you are missing some of your data...look back at the requirements on the Field Study doc. Also, don't forget sketches and to have yourself in one of the "same spot" photos.

Field Study #4

 For this field study I decided to visit at night on October 30, 2021.  I was there from 8:50-9:00. It was 55 degrees with no rain, almost no rain, and almost no stars visible.  Sunrise was at 8:15 am and sunset was at 6:39 pm.  I noticed many different things on this visit because it was night.  The most noticeable difference was the absence of birds. There was no chirping or flapping. The area was mostly silent except for a few frogs croaking and a slight breeze.  I believe this is in part because of the time but also because I had traveled by quad, and that probably scared off any nocturnal critters.  I also noticed how much more obvious car sounds were, they were much louder because everything else was still. There was also the smell of smoke in the air because people had been burning leaves in the neighborhood, and the smell of exhaust because of the quad.

Field Study #5 changes and notices

Image
The main thing I noticed this trip was the snow. The coming of the snow changed almost everything except for the basic structure of my location. Almost all the trees (except for the pines) had lost their leaves and almost all color had been lost, the grass wasn't green and the plants either brown or white     The only non-pine leaves that were green were a few pricker leaves which was very surprising to me There were also a lot of snow tracks, along with the sound of snow falling both from the sky and from the trees around me
