Millstream
1303
I am sitting on a rocky bank by a large pool of glistening murky water. There are ducks in the middle and multiple ones on either side. I am watching one duck, its entire body underwater now. There are leafy trees above me, but they are so spaced that they are not providing much shade. The ducks are drifting close to me now, the colors of green and white look great on the proud mallards. I hear a consistent series of crow calls going overhead. It is very sunny and warm outside. The rocks by the stream, however, remain cool to the touch. I see a lone yellow leaf floating silently down the stream. The ducks are still relaxing in the pool of water. The sun continues to heat the area around the stream.

Outside Eaton Hall
1421
It is sunny but cold outside. I hear birds chirping nearby. Leaves in multitudes of shades litter the ground. There is a stick that looks like it's from a nearby tree. I notice some plants with interesting colors on the tips of their leaves. I see a very overgrown tree and I think I hear chirping coming from within it. I notice a rock in the grass that seems out of place. The two trees above me have interesting plant like cones growing on them. I am now convinced that the chirping is coming from around that tree. I notice a bee hovering off the ground. Maybe it's searching for food. The sun continues to glisten off the plants. The trees don't move in the light wind. The bees continue to scavenge. The leaves reflect the sunlight.

Outside Shepard
1548
It is very chilly outside and the air is cold to the point where you can almost see your breath. A few leaves drop from a tree to my right and I hear a crow call from my left. The dirt looks moist and there are a lot of ants on the concrete today. I am convinced their colony is close by. The leaves are shaded a deep green with some of them shaded red and yellow, fall colors. I notice a pile of these colored leaves to my right under a tree that I don't think they came from. The wind is low today, but just enough to amplify the cold air. I hear a bird call nearby. I see the top of a tall tree rock back and forth. I see leafy bushes lining the trees.

Munson Creek Falls
1341
I'm looking at a waterfall hundreds of feet high trickling down into the vegetation below. The trees around me have moss clinging to their thin frames making them look like a house cleaning product. It is lightly raining and yellow leaves litter the ground. The moist rocky dirt adds a jungle like feeling to the place. Sticks of all sizes and shapes form tangled masses on the wet ground. The lush green plants are amazing. It makes this place seem so isolated. Overturned muddy logs are a tribute to the lush surroundings. The air smells like pine trees and the trees are very thick. I see a bug floating over a sunken log and notice the falls trickle all the way down into a stream near the base of the hill. There are also many green leaves scattered in this tranquil setting. Ther forest here is very green and lush.

Oregon Coastline
1458
There is an incredible view of the waves smashing against the rocks and swelling in the misty ocean. Pine and spruce trees are all around and the sun sparkles off the waves. The coastline is very green and the brush on its side is very thick. There are two huge rocks out in the distance, sitting there in the giant swells of the ocean, they resemble the shells of turtles. I can hear bird calls drift out over the coastline and I had recently witnessed two birds hovering in the air above the crashing waves. There is a thick underbrush surrounding me as I hear the sharp fast calls of several birds behind me doing cartwheels in the windy air. The strong wind is brushing all the tops of the many trees and making them waver like the water hundreds of feet below them. I notice many pine trees to my right just covering the coastline.
