My Time Spent in Nature
A few weeks ago, I went home to Connecticut for a few days and was able to spend some time outside in nature. My friend and I went for a walk down to the Connecticut River on a rare warm day. We went there because it was a place us and our other friends would go when we were in high school. To get to the side of the river there is about a 5–10-minute walk through the woods. On this walk i noticed a turkey out there and I'm not sure why. I have taken this walk probably a hundred times in my life before and have never seen a turkey. Mostly we would just see the usual, squirrels, birds, etc. But for some reason there was a turkey there that day. I was also surprised to see that not all the trees and bushes and leaves had started to change colors yet. Most of them already had changed to the orange and brown colors of fall, but there were a few small areas that were still mostly green. I was curious to see how the water looked during the fall since I would mostly only be there in the summer before. I remember the water by Pondside here had the thin layer of green on top of it in the fall. The river however stayed clean and clear. My only guess is because the river is open and flows for miles, while the pond is an enclosed area with nowhere for the water to flow.
