Into the woods (Day 7)

Today we took a break from field trips. We started off class when one of the seniors, Kris gave us a lesson on Vignettes. A Vignette is a brief description or literary sketch describing something briefly. After the lesson we made a practice Vignette of a picture given to us. For my Vignette, I wrote:

"The mountains soaring up high, reaching the clouds. The trees reaching up not nearly as high. We sound of the water rushing and splashing into the rocks. While the bear stands in absorbing all the nature around it. Using its surrounding to survive. There is the sight nature everywhere without any signs of man made objects. Green grass all around, trees, water. The bear wanting to cross the river, looking for a way across. You can hear the wind blowing and the bugs buzzing and the birds chirping along the way doing their own thing. You can see the fish swimming along the stream. The mountains in the back behind the trees with the bear and the stream lined up next, and the grass in the very front, the forest seems layered."

When we were done with that, we wrote Vignettes of the creature that we took a picture o at Cox arboretum. For this, I wrote:

 Aware of its surroundings. Waiting peacefully, able to strike at any time. Dangerous but also full of color and captivating.  Sitting there hidden in the bushed which to the snake felt like a small forest. Leaves and pinecones littered along the bush all dropping around the snake. Able strike at any moment, but choosing only the right time, the snake waits.
