Location: By the parking lot for Sparks, right in front of the school on the sidewalk by the cement stairs.
Weather: Sunny, 61 degrees

As I was walking back from class today I noticed the big, tall bushes of short green leaves and little red berries. I noticed them especially today because As I passed some little critter scurried under them to hide out as I walked by. A quick flash of browinsh grey fur was all I caught in my eyes, and then the ears were all I had left to depend on as I listened to the frantic rustling and scampering on the ground hidden by the bushes. I stopped hoping to get another glimpse of the shy busybody, but only found a large beige colored spider hanging out in her web weaved neatly among the branches like a giant sticker pressed on to the outside of the large rectangle of bush. The Large bushes with an overwhelming number of little oblong leaves arranged alternatley and tiny berries the size of pencil erasers are attractive from afar. However, up close for an arachnophobe such as my self, they are a frightening habitat to the enemy, and I will be sure to never walk close enough to brush up against the bushes.
