For most people, an observation simply means perceiving what you've caught a glimpse of.
However, conducting an observation using all our senses acquiesces us to grasp
what's beyond our eyes can see. Thus, I have chosen a tree and the area encompassing it as the subject of my observation. This gives me the tree, sky, and sounds from afar to take note of and observe.
To conduct my observation, I've decided to pick a viewing spot and sit there everyday and record what my senses perceived for 5 minutes. Throughout the first few days or weeks of my observation, I've thought about changing the subject of my observation. However, I've decided to focus on my subject more and actually found it fun and relaxing to sat down quietly and just observe. Nothing else.

During the first week of my observation, nothing extremely alluring happened.
However, calling it mundane would be an embellishment. Observing meticulously
allowed me to perceive things unlike before. I became fixated towards the sound
of a landing airplane, the vibrant of the grass and the tree's leaves from the
gusty wind, machine
sounds from a factory, neighbor's chatters, the rough texture of the tree, the
soft and drenched grass, and the gloomy sky.These are the elements that I've contemplated throughout the first week of my observation. These factors kept me engrossed for the duration of the week.
It sounds like you enjoy doing the observations, having such clear descriptions on what you saw. What kind of tree are you observing?
