Week 2: 10/18-10/24

PART 4-Thursday)
Tonight I went outside for 15 minutes around 8pm, so I was in the dark. Even though it was dark outside, the full moon was very bright and lit up the whole sky. I could see the clouds really well and saw that they looked like a bunch of cotton balls- it's really hard to describe. The weather was pleasant because it was not as cold as I was expecting it to be.



PART 3-Wednesday)
I went outside today around 5 in the evening. This is a picture of my dog, Dudley. I watched him run around the yard and bark at the neighbors, birds, and squirrels the whole time. The weather was nice.. like it has been the past two days.

PART 2-Tuesday)
I spent time outside from 6 p.m.-6:15 today. The weather was slightly breezy and there were only a few clouds in the sky. I couldn't believe it when I looked into my mom's garden and found a Texas native Horned Toad! It was about 6" long and didn't move at all while I was taking the picture. This was so neat because Horned Toads are actually becoming extinct, so it was neat to see one up close. These creatures are so amazing and I am so excited I got to see one "in the wild" and not in a zoo or other contained environment!

PART 1- Monday)
Today I noticed this flower in my backyard that I've never really paid too much attention to before. It has some really pretty shades of orange, red, and yellow in it. I found out that these flowers are called Cannas. I also noticed a few bees going up to these flowers and getting pollen. The whole 15 minutes I was sitting outside, there was one bird distinctly chirping and singing away! It must have been obscured by some trees or something because I was never able to see it. The weather was a nice 83 degrees today and the sun, although still bright, was covered by a few clouds. This was nice so that the sun wasn't directly in my face!
