While I took the time to sit outside electronic-free for 20 minutes I observed many things. The first thing I observed was the bridge I live near by. Not only did I see the bridge but I realized how much trash there was under the bridge. Not only was there trash but there was also homeless people living under the bridge. Bags, wrappers, dead bird,cups,and other items just thrown out there like nothing. I decided to take a walk under the bridge and I smelled bread from a bakery at the corner but I also smelled urine which i'm guessing the homeless people "business". It sad seeing how people throw their trash on the floor like nothing and how there are people living under the bridge and/or on streets.

This week I sat by the Children Discovery Museum. On the grass part of the museum I saw many leaves and bees but I didn't see any trash on the grass. Although many people come and enjoyed laying on the grass none left trash behind. The times I have walked here before I actually haven''t seen any trash around here. While here on a bench I spotted a group of girls runners running around the block. Many people come around here in the afternoon for a jog, run, or walk. Where I do see a bit of trash is near the Guadalupe River. The water of the river also seems very dirty. |

Today Im in the San Jose Rose Garden. I am now sitting on the grass admiring the environment surrounding me. Not much trash is spotted here in the rose garden. I spot people coming here to walk, jog, walk there dog or take pictures. I smell many roses around here. I see a sign that say"Do not pick Roses". While walking around I spotted one or two wrappers on the outside of the Rose Garden. Otherwise I don't see as much of trash.

Nature Blog #6-September Week 5
This Week I am again at the children Discovery museum. This week I did see couple of trash on the grass and I believe it was because of a festival that happened about a week or two week ago. Again I see runners running around the block. No improvement in the river pollution. Homeless people by the river. Now i see a social group hanging out listening to mental or rock music. But besides that nothing new here.

This week im sitting again outside my house. Sadly I see lots of trash on the floor. The weather has been cold and hot throughout theses days. Leaves all scattered on the streets and people passing by littering. I also see a man scattering through the big apartment trash bin outside looking for items he could use. Its crazy how items we think are useless become useful for someone else. Also I see a homeless person going through the garbage bins on the street looking for cans or bottles to recycle.

I sat outside my aunts house and I see the same old thing. I see
trash all over the streets and leaves. Cars passing by every second
and i could see some smoke coming out from behind in some trucks
and cars. I wonder how contaminated our San Jose air is. Poor
homeless people walking by like nothing, they don't have a warm
place to live in these cold winter times. This time i seem to have notice a young teenage girl pregnant walking by. Its adorable but at
the same time its just speechless they have a whole life ahead of them and now they will have to share it with a child. I also saw birds
flying across the sky in a big group. Maybe they were migrating.

Went for a walk around the children discovery Museum and I was passing by the Guadalupe river. I seem to noticed that the water level has risen by a whole bunch. This is due to the heavy rains we have had here in San Jose. The heavy storm hwe recently had cause so many floods around the bay area. In some places downtown i could the drains by the sidewalk stuffed with leaves not letting the water go through. Not letting the water go through causes floods around the sidewalks and take over the streets. |

No rain has occurred since December. The trees outside have no
leaves meaning all the leaving are on the streets. Workers have come to pile up the leaves the street so they could later be taken. Cars just pass by as well as some workers I believe going home. I once again like always get the smell of bread from the bakery factory near by. I hear screeching tire sounds coming from the freeway. These drivers seems to have braked last minute. Good thing a crash accident did not occur.

Nothing different occurring in my neighborhood. The only thing new happening is a city council election. A guy is going around hanging up reminders for where and when to vote. I spot the mail woman walking from house to house delivering their mail. I also see ladies jogging while having a conversation. They also have their dogs with them as well. Nothing interesting ever occurs in my neighborhood. I spot a cupcake truck parked which has been their for weeks now. Doesn't seem to have been moved for a while. |

This week in my neighborhood our neighbors are packing and loading a truck with all their belongings. Lately it has been sunny but then gets cold at night. I can see from where I am sitting the clouds move traveling away.

This weekend I went to Pittsburg ,about an hour drive from San Jose.On my way there is was really sunny but it was fresh as well. We passed by a place with big containers outside with pictures of whales. As we were going up road hills I could see on the sides wind turbines. There was plenty of them and I could hear them make a soosh sound. They look like big fans on the hills. However some of them were functioning and others weren't.
