It's about time we are made to take interest in something other than ourselves and our phones. This observation  project will hopefully open our eyes to the "real world" and maybe someone else's.

Week 1
   I'm observing this big, deciduous tree in my front yard at my mom's house. This week I went for a wide view on the tree.
    1. The leaves.
There are many leaves on the tree and very few on the ground. Most of the leaves are large and dark green. There were two small branches that had nothing but small, yellow leaves.  These large, small, green, and yellow leaves are all fighters. Through some rough days with the wind and rain they remain strong holding onto their branches. Soon I will have to be out there raking up the leaves who are done living their life.
    2. Branches.
The branches are long and thick enough to climb. From the roots of the tree to the highest branch the tree is about 40 feet tall.  I think I might climb Him to see what else I can find, but first I'll have to remove all of the little branches in between.
    3. Nests!
On the base of the tree before the main branches go their separate ways, lay an empty birds nest. Higher up on the tree is another birds nest. The second nest isn't as neatly done as the first and looks like it can't be used anymore. The only problem about finding these nests is that I haven't seen or heard any birds. We will see what next week brings us.
