Day 3- Deeper into the Trees

Nature's Song

As I follow the trail further into the woods,

Bird song turns into an orchestra of creatures;

Crickets chirp, frogs croak, insects buzz, 

But the birds still try to steal the show.

It is in the wood that they perform,

For no one but themselves.

Journal Entry 3

Today we went to Cox Arboretum. Two hours were available to just roam, but we did have a task: take pictures of five trees and at least one creature. The weather was lovely again, making for some great pictures!

 

Bur Oak

Yellowwood

Sweetgum

Honey Locust

Scots Pine

We got to roam the arboretum on our own, so I decided to walk one of the trails. It was a nice, quiet walk. After that. I went to the edible garden and sampled some of the plants. I didn't know so many things are edible! I also found dill, one of my favorites. The best part of the day, though, was doing yoga outdoors. It was so relaxing; I got a sunburn, though. Overall, the day was fun, but really tiring!
