 Todays date was October 30. It was colder but not too cold. The weather was dry and around the upper 50's in the after noon. I went outside at about 6:30 while it was still light out. The sun has been setting earlier and earlier so I have been having to get out there before the sun goes down to get good pictures. There was little to no wind today unlike the previous week witch contained lots of harsh winds. today was only 10 hours and 23 minutes long. it was fairly quiet when I went out there, I did hear some rustling leaves as I walk as well as some animals probably squirrels or maybe even a deer nearby walking through the woods.  Here is also the link to my document of tables where I compare the leaf color and leaf fall of each of my visits    -  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wp7xu3nIu5cYjPSjSm9gHQZ5C4Xv61Q6rV4OiAGeeK0/edit North  East  South  West 

 Today's date was 10/12/22. I went out around 7:15 while it was still light. Today it was raining pretty much all throughout the day so that made everything wet. It was in the 50's throughout the day. The length of day was eleven hours and twelve minutes. While I was outside it was pretty quiet other than the sound of rain dropping from the trees and the leaves rustling under my feet as I walked. When I came back my shoes were wet because of the rain we had that day. This time I finally started to see some change in the leaf color. There was a lot more oranges and yellows as well as many more leaves on the ground. Below I drew a picture of one of the branches I saw.   I also made a table comparing the leaf color and leaf fall from my last field studies to this one.    -  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wp7xu3nIu5cYjPSjSm9gHQZ5C4Xv61Q6rV4OiAGeeK0/edit North  East  South  West
