Wolfe 1 Noel Wolfe J. McNamara ENGL 1001 4 September 2012 Emerald Green Waters: Years at the River Up the winding road to the tributaries of the south fork of the pristine Sacramento River, are the sparkling diamond and emerald pools of water that bring me much delight and gratitude. Here at my serene river domain I found my sanctuary, my heart, and my strength. An inviting backyard home in the enchanted woods surrounding Mount Shasta, always there for me and my children. Along the bumpy, dusty dirt path my two boys and I drive along the road to come and park right next to the bustling river. The very lowest pool of my favorite stretch of river is the largest of many along the
I remember looking down into the water and seeing a crab nestled on a rock. There were Buskers playing piano accordions, and the music followed us as we walked down the boardwalk. It was the perfect day to visit the ocean for the first time. The city is surrounded by tall, thick, green trees; slowly changing color to yellow and orange. As a child, every fall, my parents would take me and my siblings camping.
As the crew dug, they hit a natural underground spring and the school officials allowed the spring to fill up (Bara, 2013). Lake Marion is located north of the Andrew Conference Center and east of the football fields on campus. The small lake, Lake Marion, is surrounded by a lighted walking trail in the center of the campus and provides a scenic backdrop to many campus activities. The surrounding area of Lake Marion features grassland with trees and bushes planted around the lake itself. The plants play an important role for shade in the summer and for the ducks to hide in.
Although I would not have agreed with this statement ten years ago. I started growing plants and flowers as to change the scenery in my own front yard. It is constantly changing much like the natural landscapes of earth. I can be at home and walk out in my front yard to see a flower bud starting to open, camera in hand, and take a few photos of it every day. This way I can look back at the beginning stage of the bloom to an opened up
Many people picnicking here, families just having good times together. Walking down a trail I see a small glass with water and inside a cigarette put out. The water at this lake seems much greener than all the other water in the park. Hiking more I become aware of all the fungus. I ask Aaron what he thought of the lake and he responds, “I'm surprised to see this many types of mushroom fruiting in early October.
Herrick goes into much detail about Billy’s calm exterior, his patient and natural approach to life. The cleansing nature of the Creek, the refreshing qualities of water are reinforced by Billy’s time away from the world. When Billy first meets Old Bill they go to Bendarat Creek to wash their clothes and swim. That symbolised the start of their connection, and Old Bill’s rebirth. Also, towards the end of the collection, Billy is confident enough to invite Caitlin and Old Bill to the river, suggesting a new start, a collective connection to each other, as if the water played a part in their coming together.
Student Name: Pam Cross ENG 1010-2C (DeSalvo) Date Submitted: April 15, 2015 The Garden Pam Cross Growing up we always had a garden. It was our summertime project that happened every season. It wasn’t a small garden but a vast parcel of land that my dad created with his own two hands, hard work, and determination. The home I grew up in sat on a double lot. Dad carved out ¼ of the second lot into our garden.
Doing this project has opened my eyes up to a county in Pennsylvania called Armstrong County. I had never even heard of the name, let alone know what kinds of things are there. I noticed that the county has a lot of nature sittings. That is the main reason why I choose this county. It looked very alive with all the colorful leaves.
Being located on the Cumberland Plateau of the Appalachian Mountains they can pretty much be seen from all over Huntsville. Most of the mountains are green so when you take nature walk or hike in the morning you can just see dew from the grass. The Monte Sano Park is one of the best places to go hiking. As you hike you see many bluffs. Below the bluffs are beautiful waterfalls and rock formations.
In the fall of 2001, numerous events have taken place on this chilly season, but there is one episode in my childhood that I could recall precisely from start to end. Beginning with my outfit at the time, which was a simple light pink shirt with flowers in the middle and light blue house shorts, then continuing with the day. The moment began a quarter before four and everyone was outside, enjoying this fine day. The afternoon was bright and joyous. The cool breeze, shady clouds and light rays were the perfect elements for a calming atmosphere to frolic around the cul-de-sac.
