On the way to our first site, Ms. Richardson was timing to see if we could make it a solid five minutes without talking. It took a few times, but we finally got it, if you don't count Olivia and I lipping words to each other. Our site was beside the pond. There were eight geese in the pond and one of them was white! There were also fish touching the surface of the water to eat bugs. I could hear a train going through Mineral. The wind was cold and made ripples on the water, but unpleasantly blew my hair in my face.
Our second site was at the corner of the pond where the path splits three separate ways. We were closer to the geese this time, but they were partly blocked by small trees. There were many trees across the paths from the pond. Lots of them were bare, but I could hear the wind rustling through them. It was cooler here because of the shade.
To get to our third site, we had to go down a very steep set of stairs. I'm sure they wouldn't have been as dangerous if they weren't covered in slick, dead leaves, but thanks to Josh and Chris we all made it down safely. Then, we had to avoid brairs to get to the stream. It was starting to feel hotter outside although we were shrouded with shade. There were frogs hiding under leaves and swimming in the water, so I could hear people trying to find them and splashing water.
Our fourth site was at this cute little pond near this random house. Olivia and I found a frog no one else saw. I couldn't get a picture quick enough before he swam away, but we did find one. Ms. Richardson and the rest of the class found salamanders and little frogs. There was a mini waterfall and you could hear the water dripping from the pond to a little stream. There was a nice, cool breeze and some sun. I think this site was the most beautiful.
