Location: Sand Island near the Ice House in Bethlehem
Weather: 60, Partly sunny, humidity 32% and wind 10mph
Habitat: Trees and brushes blowing in the little wind we had. Kids running around with their parents at the playground. People running on the trail. Group of guys playing basketball and people playing tennis. Flowers blooming from the trees. The smell of spring in the air. The clouds covering the sun from shining.
Remarks: Thinking how calming and relaxing to just sit there and enjoy the nature. Watching the leaves blow in the breeze and the noise of the leaves moving. Enjoying the nice scenery. Hearing kids laughing and enjoying their time with their parents at the playground.
Comments: It is important to take a step back from a busy life and just look up and look where you are at. Enjoy where you are. Enjoy the scenery and take in what life has to give you. It is okay to stop running away and having something to do all day everyday and go watch the leaves blow in the breeze and hear kids play in a playground.
Being able to sit outside on this spring night is great. Hearing and seeing the tears and bushes moving in the breeze; and having the smell of spring in the air is amazing. Watching the kids at the playground running around having fun with their parents on the jungle gym is a great scene. Walking down the trail you can feel the calming presence in the air. The inner joy you feel seeing the flowers blooming and the smell of the trees growing their leaves back. As the clouds are covering the sun, a small chill comes through the air for a nice brisk spring night. Watching how everyone is smiling and enjoying their time with friends and family, it gives a person a sense of relaxation inside themselves. It is easy to work and be busy everyday and not think of giving yourself some free time to relax and enjoy the small things in life.

Location: Lookout, Near Lehigh University
Weather: 62, Cloudy, Humidity 46% and wind 8mph
Habitat: Hearing the cars drive by. Hearing the birds
chirping in the trees. The peaceful sound
of the breeze as it goes through the trees and brushes. Looking out at the
buildings and how beautiful the city looks. Watching the sun go down as the
sunset is setting.
Remarks: How relaxing it is to sit there and look out to
your hometown and seeing how pretty it is. Clearing your mind from everything
that is going around in the world. Realizing there is more to life then work
and school.
Comments: It is a nice getaway to just go somewhere and
reflect on you. Realize what you really want and what makes you happy. In our
busy lives it is not easy to take some time for yourself sometimes.
Sitting on the ledge and looking out to my beautiful hometown, I see all the gorgeous lights brighting up the streets. Being there alone and just realizing life can be so simple. Hearing the birds chirping, the wind blowing in the trees is such a peaceful feeling. Watching the sun go down as it sets and the colors it makes are amazing. The red and orange color mixtures and the light that shines fro the sun is a beautiful experience. Being able to clear your mind from all the stress in the world, feels like a weight has been lifted off your body. I realized life is to short to work and be busy everyday. To not take time for yourself and enjoy just looking and seeing how amazing life around you can be is a bad thing.
