Week 4

1.     Leaves

The leaves on my tree have not changed colors, more like shades. The only yellow leaves that were on Him are the few I’ve mentioned in previous posts. Other than those few, it has been nothing but green leaves. On November 3, 2014, it was super windy. I drove by my house to see a lake of leaves surrounding the tree. From that day on there was something different about the tree that I never paid attention to before. 

      “The leaves on the tree look as if you can crunch them in your hand and turn them into tiny flakes.” – Field Notes 11/6/14

“More than half the leaves on the tree look pale-green and dead.” – Field Notes 11/9/14

Most of the leaves now are just waiting for the breeze to come so they can gently float to the ground.

 

2.     Branches

The tree has lost some limbs these last few weeks. I’ve come across a few branches here and there just lying on the floor. The branch I found the fly sunbathing on is no longer there. I guess the fly will have to find a new bed to relax on.

 

3.     Nests

The birds nests has now become the home to a few leaves.
