Field Study #4

  -Date: Wednesday October 21

-Time: 5 pm 

- Climate Conditions: Sunny, Slight breeze

-Temperature Outside: 67°
- Water temperature in River: 55°

- Length of Day: 10 hours 47 mins

Today, I noticed that a tree had fallen into the river, stretching across to the other side. I noticed it was a trunk of a tree and there were no branches. It appeared that it broke in 3 spots and was pretty rotten in the
inside. In front of the tree there was a lot of leaves and some blue color that caught my eye. I wondered if it was a natural oil from the earth or gas or anything to do with leaves. Lastly I saw that most of the leaves nearby had fallen and turned brown on the ground. However there were a handful of trees with leaves that were just yellow. 

Near the more rocky / muddy area I smelled something like a dead animal but never saw anything so I was curious if it was the mud or something I didn't see.

One spot were I saw awe was constantly having nice days when I have my field studies. It's always been sunny and the temperature has been perfect.

Field Study #2

                                                                             - Date: Sunday September 27  -Time 12:45 PM - Climate Conditions: Sunny, Little breeze -Temperature Outside: 65 F Degrees - Water temperature in River: 57 Degrees - Length of Day: 11 Hours and 58 Mins The first thing I noticed was that some leaves were starting to change color. Most of the trees were still green, but there was few leaves that were definitely changing. The second thing I noticed was that there was lots of leaving falling from the trees, especially above the river. A small gust of wind would come by and would make even more leaves fall.  When I looked closely into the river, I could see tiny little particles floating in the water. I wondered if it had to do any...

Field Study #3

-Date: Oct 11 -Time: 2 pm - Climate Conditions: Sunny, light breeze -Temperature Outside: 70° F - Water temperature in River: 61° F - Length of Day: 11 hours 15 mins One thing I observed this time is that the leaves are definitely changing color and starting to fall. In the picture below you can see that the leaves are turning yellow.  Another thing I observed that you can see is the water level is very similar to last time. I took the temperature it was slightly warmer than last field study. Which was kinda surprising since the days are starting to get a little cooler and the nights too. A question I have is why the water is warmer this time then last time when the temperature were quiet different. Is it because the water is flowing slower? Lastly I noticed that the river was slightly muddy and I wondered if it was from the leaves.   Somewhere where I find awe is in the leaves. Fall is one of my favorite times of year and I think its so cool how they can change color....
