Signs of Spring! Still in Construction!



Signs of Spring

*Site One*

The first signs of spring I recognized were the bright, green honeysuckles growing along the JV football field. The trees were blocking the sun here and the breeze was quite chilly. I could hear the wind and, according to Mrs. Richardson, at least seven different birds.


Above is Katelynn Watson trying to lick the honeysuckles, I guess. Not sure you're really going to get anything out of that Katelynn! Haha!


My amazing picture taking skills are revealed in the above picture. Once again honeysuckles are famous; Lydia and Katelynn wanted a picture with the honeysuckles.

This picture just shows all the green that comes along with spring! :)



*Site Two*

Our next site was on the side of the pond. Here we saw many buds on bushes and trees along with alder catkins. There was still a cold wind here and the sun still couldn't reach us. I could hear the wind blowing and crows crowing. Someone said the temperature was 43 degrees here, but the wind made it feel much much colder!

*Site Three*

At this site, the sun was shining, but there was still a chilly breeze. I could hear the leaves rushing. In the picture above, you see buds beginning to blossom. The perfect sign of spring coming our way.


*Site Four*

In this picture, the tress are covered with buds. The wind, like the other sites, was still blowing a cold breeze. The sun was still out but was not very bright here. The leaves were still blowing and the birds were still chirping. Spring has sprung! :)
