My Tree (Update)

Hello everyone! This blog post is an update on my tree that I observed this past semester! Since I have last seen this tree, it has changed significantly. The most obvious thing that you can notice is that all of the leaves on the tree have fell to the ground. You are correct, all the leaves have fallen off the tree. I mean, you can still see some hanging on the ends of branches. The sad part of seeing the leaves on the ground is that they turned from a bright orange color to a brown color. That makes me upset because I know that the winter season is coming soon. I also observed that a lot of branches were torn or broken off of my tree. Near the base of the tree (closer to the ground) the tree is beginning to rot. That really makes me sad because soon enough, the tree will be dead. Now, what other tree can I collect a leaf from every year? Since my last post, my tree didn't lean as much as it does now towards the river bank. Again, I would like to point out that my tree is located in Woodstock, NH. I know, it's very far away from Keene but I go home almost every weekend so I can see what it looks like. I chose this tree because it's directly in my backyard! As the fall season comes to a dreary end, I hope my tree lives on to see a bright future.

    As far as tree posts go this has to be one of the best ones. I myself did the whole tree post thing and sadly mine did not do too well. I know you said yours was starting to rot away towards the base of the tree and lean towards the stream in your backyard. What is a common occurrence with trees already fully grown is that we are unable to do anything to help them. The tree i was planning on writing my blog posts on was a huge beautiful tree right outside my dorm room. It was easily over fifty feet and almost towered over carle hall. But one night we had a micro-burst and i was up at the time and heard a loud crash, the tree-had been blown over by the high winds. I was astonished, the fact that something so simple as wind was able to take down a huge elegant tree such as that one. But that is just the way they fall sometimes.

Application Assignment #1: This Land Is the Only Land There Is

Source of Article:  This Land Is the Only Land There Is Earth Warming The article " This Land Is the Only Land There is ," portrays the realization that we have a problem, we as a society need to seek change. We as humans living on this earth, don't understand that the planet's dangerously warm future is upon us. Robinson Meyer, explains that the earth's landscape has already warmed than 1.5 degrees Celsius since the industrial revolution. The land that we use on earth is extremely scarce, we need to use it for everything and we are already using most of it. Roughly more than 70 percent of the planet's ice free land is already shaped by human activity. There must be changes that happen quicker that you think because land problems have a pesky way of spreading diseases to different areas around the globe. How do we obtain land? First off, we as humans need land for planting and reusing the materials that need to be put back into the earth for growt...

Spend Some Time In Nature!

Elbow Pond: Woodstock, New Hampshire The place I went and explored for this blog post was at an Elbow Pond in Woodstock, NH. I went there with some of the few friends I graduated high school with because we enjoy coming here and spending time with nature, especially when I begins to snow. I would suggest this for people to come to but it is really difficult and dangerous to drive out to the actual pond itself. This is the outside of the pond, we couldn't go any further because the gate was closed for the winter season. In terms of animals, we saw a couple of deer tracks in the snow but not a lot of people because no one lives in these neck of the woods, unless you are risky enough to do so. I have been here some many times, I can't count them on my hand! I love coming here just to relax and enjoy the natural beauty our earth gives us. When we got there, we of course took many pictures of sun setting sky and after that we just talked about life and how we are all doing ...

What Makes me Happy!

Image
What makes me happy? People ask my this question almost everyday of my life. I always say the same response; family, friends, and life. Seems kind of corny right? Well it's the truth. There is nothing more than being apart of a loving family. They all encourage me to try my best at anything I am doing whether it's sports or studying for my next exam. My friends on the other hand, have been there for me when I am at my worst points in life. Always there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on. They truly put a smile on my face whenever go camping, hanging out, or going on crazy adventures in the deep New Hampshire wilderness. Being able to live my life on this beautiful earth makes me feel happy, even on my darkest days. There are many tremendous places to visit on this earth, you just have to go out and experience this first hand. That's the real beauty about nature. Experiences, moments, and memories are key components to living in such a god giving land. My pictures have ...
