Pictures not in order

Blog Entry:

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.

  1. Looks much better as far as the field study notebook part! You need to be sure you have the same leaves at the same zoom to have your procedure work so do be careful about that. Also keep looking for changes and patterns -- you are seeing what you state is a moisture pattern with the leaves...keep looking for other patterns of change (species, location, etc.) On the right track! :)
