Outdoor Observation Journal Quotes...

This past weekend's assignment was to sit outside for 10 minutes and record nature observations from one spot. Here are some highlights from journals:

"I am so glad that I was given this assignment because if not I normally wouldn't have made time to go outside and appreciate this beautiful Fall day."- Morgan

"A breeze picks up, only to die back down again.."-Nicole

"The landscape falls away sharply to an expanse of hillside strewn with rocks and ferns curling outward to absorb the sun's nurturing rays." -Sarah W.

"There were a lot of dried up places. On a couple of trees and grass there were spider webs on them. I did find some signs of animals and bugs." - Jennifer G.L.

"As I sit here, everything is perfectly silent except the wisps of a light breeze rustling...the branches and the chirp of grass hoppers, occasionally a warble or caw of a bird resounds across the sky or in the boughs above....Life envelops me in a cradle of splendor."
- Sawyer
