I feel, I see, I smell and I hear

Wind Is Anywhere
The wind it moves in wondrous ways
Through the tree branches it blows and its sways
It takes all the leaves and flies them so high
Then briefly it lets go and they fall from the sky

Its strength is so varied from timid to strong
The length of the blowing can be short or long
Sometimes it tickles the tip of your nose
Sometimes sends shivers to the tips of your toes

It can bring some surprises with each passing day
The wind will surprise you in many a way
The sweet sound of whistling, the roar of a storm
It can bring you some happiness and also bring harm

The next time you see a bag blow down the street 
The next time you feel the wind at you feet
Remember its power, its beauty and grace
For the wind can be anywhere, it can be any place.

I feel, I see, I smell and I hear the wind. The wind always seems to stand out to me every time I go out to observe. As soon as I step out of my house, the breeze is what hugs my body, it's like nature's way of greeting me. There's been a cold breeze and a warm breeze, of course all depending on the weather. It went from smelling like BBQ on a sunny day and rain the next. The wind makes my magic tree dance, it controls the movement of my tree. From moving side to side vigorously to a slight blow on the leaves . Which is why I chosed this poem, because it basically puts together what I'm trying to say about the wind.

Who knew?

"Time spent in nature, is time spent realizing that you don't know it all and that you never will."

I saw this quote somewhere, can't really remember. But, with only a week into this project I've found this quote to be true. Before I just looked at my magic tree as a tree and now there's really more to it. The small details really do count and creates a bigger picture. As I observe my tree every day, so many questions run across my head. Who knew nature was this interesting?! There will be some things I'll find an answer to, and some that I will never really know why. 

The First Look

This is my magic tree that I will be observing for two months. I've always found this tree very amusing . Watching it dramatically change as each season passes by leaves me speechless. I don't think anyone understands the beauty that I see in my magic tree. Which excites me even more to share this experience with you.

Day 1 Picture of my Magic Tree

For this past week I've notice many changes with my tree such as, the color of the leaves, the condition of the tree and the way the leaves slowly fade away.  I've also gotten really close with my tree. You're probably thinking how the heck do you get close with a tree? It's actually possible, spending 20 mins with nature four days each week can really create something. I'm at the point where I'm really upset to see my magic tree getting weak as each day goes by.

Here are more pictures from my day one observations.

This is the branch with a group
of dead leaves that I mentioned
in my journal.

Dead leaves and nectarines dead seeds.
