Take A Look Around

As I had hoped this project has opened my eyes to a new way of looking at things. The smallest things seem to fasinate me and they bring new questions to my mind and my minds runs wild. It's amazing and I absolutely love my new look on things.

This week I found myself paying more attention to the surroundings around the garden. 

Field notes 10/4/14 : " the neighbors birds have never caught my attention until today, when I did my observations much earlier. Loud,  annoying,  poopy. This bird just yawned!  I've never seen a bird yawn before,  so this is weird and cool!... One of the birds has missing fautures where it looks like it was cut or injured. It Continuously picks at it. Makes me womder if there is cones for birds? "

The birds where most interesting to me because I have birds as well. So observing other birds made me wonder more about mine.

I had mentioned this plant in previous entrys and it has again caught my eye. Lemon sented like lemon pledge Sort of rough against your hand but a sent like no other. Bright green color and interestingly shaped leaves. A quite distinct plant. This is a Citronella,  which is a mosquito plant . "Sometimes called citronella, but actually a citrus-scented geranium. " When I reseached i also found out that the leaves have some ability to repel against mosquitoes they are mostly used for there refreshing sent.
