M&M'S

    For the past few days there has been a recurring act. There is random trash showing up around the
tree and the rest of the plants near the tree. I have found random scraps of paper and several candy
wrappers. A few days ago I found an empty torn bag of M&M's perched on top of the fallen yellow
leaves surrounding the tree. The candy wrappers are easy to spot because they attract a swarm of
black ants. I've assumed all the mystery debris is coming from Kietzke lane, which is right behind
our fence. This abundance of trash in my garden annoys me, but other than that there appears to be no major changes with the tree or it's surroundings.

Green

      I don't know how long this tree has been in my backyard for. It's old enough to be able to produce fruit. The nectarines it has grown are delicious and I was surprised when I found out that this fruit came from my backyard. It is a very successful tree compared to the other trees that have grown in that area of the yard. It is also a very thin tree.It could easily snap in half if something somewhat heavy where to lie against it.
    There are several creatures that are always found around the tree. These life forms can range from harmless ladybugs to eight legged monsters, commonly known as spiders. The dirt around the tree is where these insects are found. They're basically living with the tree.
    The tree has yet to go through the fall transition. In which it's leaves turn to warm colors like orange and yellow and then slowly begin to rain down one by one. The tree's leaves remain a vibrant green that you would imagine in a summer scene.

     For my observation I have chosen the nectarine tree in my backyard. I choose my tree because of my growing interest in nature. I rarely payed attention to this tree before this observation. I'm hoping to discover something great during this observation.
