Signs of Spring

Sign 1:
Location: Football practice field
At this location, green grass could be seen on the field and there was also a small amount of green leaves on some of the trees. In addition, a slug was found on the remains of a cardboard box on the field. At this site, a light wind could be felt as it rustled through the nearby leaves, adding to the sounds of  crows cawing.

Sign 2:
Location: Shore of the pond
At this location, there were several bushes of Alder catkins growing along the bank of the pond; a clear indication of spring. A light wind could be felt blowing and could be heard gently splashing the water.

Sign 3:
Location: Small clearing in the woods
At this location, the most obvious sign of spring, a butterfly, could be seen fluttering around trees whose new growth could be seen due to the red tips of the branches. Also at this site, I found a tree that had moss growing on a stub branch along with broken acorn shells, an indication of a squirrel recently eating there.

Sign 4:
Location: Field in front of school

Again, wind could be felt as well as heard against the trees, some of which were starting to grow flowers on them.
