Second Visit 9/19/26

Time: 12:25pm
Climate Conditions: Rainy/Sprinkling, Cloudy, No wind.
Temperature: 59°
Length of Day: 12 Hours & 20 minutes
Sunrise 7:28am - Sunset 7:48pm
Organisms: 
Smelled: wet leaves, rotting bark




Felt: wet grass, wet bark, rain drops


Heard: crickets chirping, mosquitos buzzing, rain drops falling on leaves
Seen: very small frog, red leaf, small fungi

 

Changes Noticed Since Last Visit: Since my last visit, I noticed that the red berries I had noted last time (and photoed) are gone from the bushes. I also noted that the marshy area was more wet than before; it rained really hard last night and for a longer period of time, causing a greater area to hold more water (puddles, overall mushy ground). Because of the rain last night, the water in the small creek seemed to be running a little bit faster than last time.

Other Data: Since I chose to visit my location after a significant rain and while it was still sprinkling, it was interesting to see everything when it was wet.  The overall wetness made the colors of everything to seem more bright/intense.

Awe/Stewardship:

AWE: How God supplies what the world needs (rain) in order to live.


STEWARDSHIP: Being careful as I walked around the location to make sure I was not harming any small animals (like the frog) or crushing any plants.


Questions: I wonder. . . how much rainfall needs to happen to show a significant effect on how quickly the water in the creek runs?

    Excellent work! Is your water running faster? Cloudier? Project Clarity connections here? Has it slowed back down already?

Awe: How God causes the colors of leaves to change - the amazing science behind that. Stewardship: I saw another person in this area walking away with ...
