Study # 5 :: The Leaves Disappeared! :: November 15, 2015

The time is currently 5:19 and the sun is setting. It gets dark much earlier now, and the times for sunrise and sunset today are 7:37 a.m. and 5:19 p.m. The high today was 58 degrees and the low was 50 degrees. It is currently 53 degrees. Today was really beautiful: sunny, not too cold and clear skies. Although many of the trees have lost most of their leaves, the temperatures do not feel as though we are getting closer to winter. I hear much less of the birds at my field study spot, and right now I don't hear any. Much of the ground in the woods is less green much like the trees. You can see a lot more of my neighborhood without the leaves on the trees. The smell in the air reminds me of winter, if that makes any sense. I feel like without as many plants and things that remind me of fall and summer, the absence of there smells reminds me of winter.
