FIELD STUDY 10/12/2022

    On Wednesday, October 12, I got to visit my field location at night. Though it was hard to see some parts of it, it was very interesting to see what it looked like when it was dark out. I apologize because though I used flash to take the pictures, they still are pretty dark. 

    


    When I went to the site it was around 9:00 PM. It was approximately 49 degrees Fahrenheit, with little to no wind. It had rained quite a lot earlier that day, so the ground was very moist, especially near the pond.

    Some interesting changes had happened since my last visit, which was on September 25. For one, as seen in the picture above, lots of leaves have fallen since my last visit, and there is an overall decrease in the greenery there. The trees above the pond still have some leaves on them, but I couldn't tell exact details, because all I could see was the shadow. The location I have selected to photograph every time hasn't changed much.

    Let this be your only night visit.
    Start watching for patterns in the color change/leaf fall.
    Day length?

THE EPIC FIELD STUDY FINALE

Image
 On November 22, I journeyed to the field study site for the final time. When I walked in, I remembered what it was like when it was 70º and sunny.     At least on Nov. 22 it wasn't that bad. A lot of snow had come during the weekend, but, it warmed up enough that the snow began melting. I went there around 1:45 PM, and during my visit, the temperature peaked for the day, at 45 degrees. It stayed above freezing for most of the afternoon, and there was not an ounce of precipitation that day. The wind was 0 MPH, with the occasional gust of 11 MPH. The day length was 9 hours and 28 minutes, so we can see the days are getting shorter since September.     There was snow on the ground, but it was rapidly melting. When I went, the ground was mostly white with snow but there were signs showing melting. For example, the pond was very much iced over, but there was a sheet of water on the top, showing that it is melting. Here are some pictures of the final study:
