Study #1 :: Trees and Teepees :: September 15, 2015


Time: 5:51 P.M.

The weather forecast today is a high of 82 degrees and a low of 52 degrees. It is currently about 80 degrees, but it is a little bit breezy. The length of the day is 12:29:12 with the sunrise at 6:56:32 A.M. and 8:22:19 P.M. is the time of sunset. The smell here always smells like the beach. There's some beach grass and sand, which I think contributes to the smell that provokes my memories of the beach. However, there are a lot of evergreen trees. This adds the sappy smells of pines. I here lots of squirrels back here, and I believe I saw a crow just fly away from a tree. I here lots of different kinds of birds. I also keep hearing a dropping noise of small objects hitting the ground. I'm wondering if this is from an animal, or if these are the sounds of nuts and acorns falling from trees by themselves. It is coming from a general spot, and there is some rustling from up above, so I believe a squirrel might be causing this to happen. The boys across the street have built a teepee and are playing behind me. They have asked me not to photograph their secret location, and I'm going to respect their privacy. Though next time I hope to get a picture of the remains of their hideout.
