Blog Post #14 ~ Nature Journal #2

My place has changed a lot since the last time I went. First off today is 3/16/19 and my place looks way more greener than last time. The trees that did not have any leaves last visit and were just leafless now have green leaves on them, they look really pretty. I also noticed that there is 2 trees whose leaves never fall off they kinda look like pine trees but I do not think they are that. There was also little flowers some were white others were yellow, they were small but they were there. Another thing that I noticed was that there was a butterfly it was a Monarch butterfly it was so pretty. The butterfly was orange with its black detailing. The butterfly’s wings were so pretty too. I did not expect to see a butterfly because I rarely see any here but I am glad I did it brought a smile to my face. This time it actually felt like spring was here, it was not too cold or too hot and the weather was just right. The birds were still there and it was like 12:30ish. I think the most peaceful thing about today’s visit was seeing the butterfly and hearing the birds chirps. The sun was out and the sky had some clouds but it was just a overall beautiful day. “I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of the trees, and for the blue dream of the sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.” -e. e. cummings. This quote explains my thoughts this time I went to Veterans Park. I am just recovering from the flu and it was my first time out of the house since I got it and I was just thinking what an amazing and perfect day to be outside. Once again going to my place relieved my stress from all of the homework I had over spring break. 😉
