it's my birthday today, I'm the birthday monarch! if you want to celebrate with me, pick a spot (ideally outside, but you do you) to sit for ten minutes and just Observe
some things to think about, if you want guidance:
- are there any bugs? what are they up to? (sidewalks often have ants!)
- any plants? trees are great, but what's the smallest plant you can find? if there aren't any small plants, why do you think that is?
- what's the weather like? is there a breeze? what does it smell like? why might it smell that way?
- what can you hear? probably human sounds like cars or planes or voices, but what else? is anything scratching under a nearby bush? any bird or mammal sounds?
feel free to share your observations if you like, but either way it's very cool to learn a little bit more about the places you spend time!
