Picture taken approximately 5:30 pm on Wednesday, October 23 p.m. The day as 11 hours 20 minutes long. The temperature was 77 degrees Fahrenheit. There was very little wind, and only a few clouds. I saw no squirrels, which struck me as strange. The only group of leaves I had photographed that remained were/was the one furthest from the stream, at 15 meters. It, as shown, has no green left, but is brown and yellow with many holes poking through. Something I noticed was that almost all the trees further away from the stream had almost all of their leaves fallen off, but the few closer to the water still had leaves (all the other trees had leaves but not the ones I had been watching). I think this has to do with their placement closer to the water, thus giving them more life.

Pictures/info were recorded approximately 5:30 pm on 10/16/12. The temperature was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The day was 11 hours 32 minutes long. The wind was coming in at about 5 mph from the west. There were a few squirrels in the area, but no other animals I noticed. Something I found that changed from last time was that the set of leaves closest to stream were the most changed from last time, where as before they had been the least. Almost all the leaves far away from stream (50+ is meters) were completely changed. It surprised me that the leaves were "the least changed" in the middle of the two groups.

Picture taken at approximately 6:00 pm on October 8, 2012. The temperature at the time of the photography was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and the sun was showing through a bluebird sky. There was a 10 mph wind coming from the south-southeast. I noticed a lack of fish/minnows in the small pool of the stream from which I am measuring, most likely due to the colder climate. I didn't see any other animals, which surprised me, as I can usually find numerous squirrels, if not a chipmunk or two and the occasional whitetail deer. The day was 11 hours, 46 minutes long. The leaves of these four trees, unlike the leaves of many maples in the area (but that are further from a body of water), remained mostly green, although not the dark green used as the base hue. There are two maples further from the stream which both display a brilliant red tone. I think the lack of color change in comparison to the others is due to its rich supply of water.
