Observing Nature

With a notebook and a pencil in hand without the disturbance of modern day technology, one can really tune in all their senses. The sun is about to set. The blue sky is is practically nonexistent and all that is left is the light orange and yellow mix. A cool breeze would show up now and then and ease the effect of the heat as the rays of the sun are disappearing. With a deep breath, the smoke from the Sunday barbecue is inhaled as my stomach is making noises, sending me signs to put food in my system. As i get bored, I call my dog Marley who is very responsive to her name and quickly rushes outside. I turn my head and a squirrel is indulging in a lemon from the the tree. The sounds of the squirrel nibbling on the lemon could be heard from the other side of the backyard. Marley soon becomes aware of the uninvited guest and the peaceful nature was all of a sudden replaced by loud barking, shaking trees, and dog tags hitting each other as Marley sprints her way across the backyard and back a couple of times in order to obtain a visual on the escaping squirrel. The sound of the guests inside laughing, making their toasts, and a soccer game on the television blasted at high volume also took over nature's peaceful effect.The sprinklers are activated. The pollination of the bees is terminated and the maladjusted sprinkler was aimed right at my location. I was hit with a cool burst of water and therefore decided to conclude my observation. I stood up and made my way inside until halfway there I turn around and realize that Marley, my Labrador dog, has made a visit to Raging Waters and is playing with the water from the sprinkler. She was soaking wet and thought the towel I was throwing at her was part of a game. She jumped at me and spoiled all my clothes which led to my immediate decision to go inside freshen up.
