Week 1 Nature Observation
October 11, 2020, ink pond at Cornell College, 84 degrees Fahrenheit, breezy, iphone 10.
I sat outside at the ink pond today for one hour. I first just sat and observed before getting my camera out. After several moments of observing I opened my camera and began to walk around the ink pond. It was a beautiful day, but breeze made it hard to get pictures of organisms, as several would just move with the wind. The ink pond at Cornell College holds habitat for many organisms. Trees, turtles, fish, insects, etc. and I look forward to observing a lot more in the coming weeks. The ink pond is a smaller pond, especially compared to the nature park pond we visited earlier in the week. The ink pond sits towards the bottom of the hill of our campus. The weather was beautiful, especially warm for an October day. I was saddened to notice several trees and tree branches down at my sight from the derecho in August.
I observed several organisms in the water, such as goldfish and turtles but was not able to get the best picture of these organisms due to them being in the water. The turtles would sit on rocks until I would get closer, then dive into the water. The goldfish were all over the pond, but I noticed a large number to be swimming in the middle of the pond. The plants I observed were swaying in the breeze, especially the persicaria or smartweeds. I look forward to returning to the ink pond later in the week to see what changes and different organisms.
