Lake Bonny

This morning I visited Lake Bonny for this assignment and I stayed for an hour. While I was there I did something I have never done before. I pretended as if I was an explorer in a nature film, almost like the Crocodile Hunter or any show similar to that. I was walking on the boardwalk and heard a noise in the trees and turned swiftly as if I wanted the camera to get a good shot of whatever it was rumbling the trees. As soon as I looked, the bird had buried itself into the trees. And then I thought to myself, humans and the birds look at trees completely different. Humans tear down trees, as if they are a bother, to build homes. Humans also complain when there aren't any trees for shade at a hot football game. They only want the trees if they can do something for them. This is why humans are selfish. Birds look at trees as a play ground for hide and seek with their friends. They even look at trees as a shelter from the wicked humans hunting them. Some mother birds make a nest and lay their eggs in trees. It's amazing to me, how many functions trees actually have. They're very important. I will honestly never look at a tree the same way again.

I forgot to take my camera to Lake Bonny so I found this image online of trees. This picture means so much more to me now. Driving down a road full of trees on both sides will never be just another road to me. It will be a gift because I know these trees are homes to many animals who may have been evicted from their last tree home.

I am glad Professor Corrigan gave us the opportunity to learn and appreciate nature through poems and visits to the park because I would not have visited the park on my own. I can honestly say that I will probably revisit the park.
