Outside Shepard
1527
The air has a fresh smell after a rainy day. The wind is beginning to pick up and toss the leaves around. I can hear a bird chirping in the nearby trees. I think I see its shadow. Ants are scurrying along the concrete street, probably gathering something. Some of the leaves look as if they've retained some of the rain as the sun reflects off of them. Some of the leaves on the plants are red and worn looking. The black soil beneath them looks extra fresh from the rain. I can see the birds now, they are small and there are lots of them in a broad green leaved tree to my left. They continue to chirp. The sun is casting long shadows on the sidewalk.

Outside Eaton Hall
1423
It is very cold and windy outside. Brown leaves cover the ground and are revealed in patches of sunlight. Sticks are scattered over the grass as the wind has blown them so. There is a huge yellow leaf in front of me that must have been blown off from the tree above me. It looks cool in the sunlight. The twigs here look like mounds of dirt piled piled beneath the trees, a strange sensation. The bark on the tree behind me is all speckled and has an interesting shape on its bark that looks like Texas. The wind is not effecting the twigs on the ground. The trees remain calm despite the wind.

The Quad
1539
There is a light breeze outside and the Quad is filled with sunlight. Unlike under the trees, there are only a few scattered leaves here. I just heard a bird call somewhere off to my far right, maybe coming from one of the distant pine trees. The trees are casting long shadows on the grass. The grass seems fairly trampled as it lies there in the sunlight. There are a lot of bushes besides the trees as I look around. A patch of dirt looks like a ravine next to me compared to the tall grass around it. There are more of them around me in the sunlight.

Millstream
1423
It is a cloudy and cool day with little wind. The Millstream flows by me at a brisk pace and is void of ducks today in this part of the stream. Leaves of brown and yellow lay under the trees by the hundreds, forming large clumps. I notice a wasp hovering in the beaten grass, there are actually four of them. They seem to be searching for something. The small red curled leaves and the nutshells on the ground give it a festive sort of feel. The trees are changing colors and even the bushes seem to have taken on this trait. The buildings reflect across the water's ripples, creating an interesting vision with the sunlight. I hear a bird call overhead, maybe looking for a place to roost. The stream flows gently by.

Outside Shepard
1626
The weather outside is warm and there is little to no breeze. I just observed a gray squirrel munching on an acorn. There is a lady bug resting on a green leaf by the side of the concrete. Ants are marching under itin their usual fashion. I notice the squirrel skirting the corner of the building and begin to chew on another nut. It just came within four feet of me and darted off into the nearby bushes where it began foraging and emerged a minute later with another nut. There are numerous small birds calling to each other in a nearby tree to my left. Maybe they were interested by the squirrel. Maybe they are going home.
