Field Notes

When I was at the pond. I saw more than 31 green lily pads with some brown spots in the pond. I saw 16 cars go pass the pond on Forest Ave. I could hear the cars driving pass the pond one by one. I also saw stores on Forest Ave like Maytag. There were trails in Baxter Woods.I saw many of tall trees. The yellow, orange, pink, red and green leafs were everywhere in Baxter Woods. That is what I observed when I was at Baxter Woods.
