Day 3

On February 3, 2011 we went down by the bus garage for site 1 and we heard the leaves scraping across the asphalt and the wind blowing the trees together. The water flowing out the concrete pipe, the big trees, and the big yellow buses all caught our eyes. The difference of the temperature was felt upon upon us along with blowing on us. At site 2 we all heard each other talking to one another and the birds cawing in the sky. The woods were seen, also a tree with a hole in it from a wood pecker, and tree with an unknown substance on it was spotted. I too felt a tree hit me in my hand. We heard the leaves being stepped on. I seen fungus on a log, a mashed down brier patch and a wood pecker hole in a tree. I felt a brier sticking me in the leg and the wind hitting me in the face all at site 3. During site 4 leaves crunching, people being loud, and birds cawing were heard. I seen the sun shining through the trees, the trees blowing from the wind, and a eating acorn from a squirrel. I felt the wind blowing making me cold.
