Third visit 10/3

Date/ time: 10/3 19:33

Present climate: Partly cloudy, moderate winds at approx 5-8 mph

Temperature: 50F


Length of day: 11 hour 20 minutes


Organisms smelled, felt, heard or seen: I heard cicadas, observed squirrels and birds on nearby trees.  Small, short, white wildflowers grew along the path. A significant portion of the green plants have turned beige. 

Changes noticed:  
Some plants turned beige and some trees in the surrounding area had reddish/ yellowish leaves. The cicadas were quieter and I observed birds migrating at this time. Furthermore, despite going to the same location at the same time it was much darker and the sun was almost completely set. It was also much colder than it was during the last visit.  The yellow flowers that were observed on the previous visit were gone completely.

It had rained the day before so the ground was quite damp and muddy. More leaves have fallen to the ground since the last visit and the ground was completely covered. Despite that, lots of green leaves remain on trees but a significant portion of them are yellowed.   Changes noticed:   Yellow flowers observed in the first visit is completely withered, leaving only the dried up and brown stems with some fuzzy white things on the tip of the branches. Grass on the path that was green during the first visit is now brown. Fallen leaves that are further away from the dirt path are dried up.  More leaves are yellow.
