***this is a retroactive posting of my writings/thoughts during one of our very first classes on January 20th. We went into Morris Woods and were told to observe and then write down words/phrases/thoughts when we returned to the classroom. What I find most interesting is how my definition of "strange" hasn't changed all that much over teh course of the semester despite how much I've thought about it.***
- little black bird so determined to knock off the bark but what does he expect to find? Not bugs?
- Wide flat mushrooms
- Snowdrops hiding under mulch
- Frost on logs, moss
- Seemed very bare at first b/c last saw it in fall (dense w/ leaves)
- Groundcover (pachysandra)
- High pitched busy birds chattering
Natural = not man made; created by nature; or socially constructed; biological, instinctive skill, innate, wild
Unnatural = domesticated; selected (for aesthetic); implanted or imported; manufactured or manipulated (usually by people); out of place; awkward
Strange = other than the normal à depends on the reference frame; can become a value judgement
