My first photo is of a partially eaten apple. This reminded me of the photos Mr. Birchett showed us in class from his experiment with fruit in the woods. I love how the apple is just laying there and it is not really rotten yet, showing a timeline or story of when it was probably dropped.
The next photo I have is of these bricks lying at the roots of the tree. I like how the bricks almost blend in with the landscape since they are so dirty. This was one of my favorite photos just showing how random of things you can find around campus or anywhere you look.
Then I took a picture of a piece of bread that had been nibbled on. I really liked the relationship between man and nature with this photo. Of course a person had to leave the piece of bread here but the nature then took the bread and ate on it, moved it, and brought it into their world of nature.
This was another interesting photo where the tree trunk had knobs almost. They looked like large rocks at first, but then I realized that it was part of the tree itself. I really wonder how this happened and what caused the tree to grow like this. It makes me wonder if it was natural or man made. This was so awesome to see. I even tried to kick them to see if they moved, they didn't, but it was a lot of fun to play around with them since they look so unstable, yet are not.
Here is pretty cigarette box shoved in between the tree. I interested to know if this was intentional for art or to be noticed or if someone did it because they were lazy. This was another obvious piece of unnatural material that was hidden inside the earth's landscape. I also really liked how pretty the box was with the bright teal and black colors. The tree itself was also intriguing to look at because of its size and texture.
I found a pile of cones or seeds? This HAD to be man-made. I am extremely interested to know if this was someone from our class because it is similar to things was have seen before. I think it is great how it was still there because someone had to of created it. I love the shapes of the cone/seed things. I wish I knew what they actually were.

Oh wow! You found my cairn! I'm so excited! I wondered if that was still there, lol. Also, that picture with the cigarette box reminds me of a photo I took of a tree with a bunch of newspapers stuck in the middle. Crazy what some people will stick places, huh?
I think humans have used tree "crotches" to hold every-day items since the beginning of time! Its like a cache - it will (might) be there the next time you walk by and need a cigarette!
I loved the apple picture and the interesting thing is it probably won't be there in a few days because the earth, well the squirrels, will come and take it. I pass through the park everyday and I know there is a man who use to wear a organge hat that puts stuff in the tree everyday to hold. That's great though you found an appreciation of the park that you didn't have before
That's funny that you found Lynndsey's cairn. I have a feeling that, with our final projects, there are bound to be a few of these kinds of things popping up around campus. I wonder who will find them and what they will think.
