Journal 4: Reflect on your Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Field trip
Word count 335
The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Field trip was very relaxing Field trip. It also had its high points in my view being exciting seeing all the big cypress trees. The water there had very interesting tint to it from the cypress and was neat to see. There was a noticeable difference in how many birds were out in the swamp. I saw a wide variety but I do not know all their names. My girl friend is into birds so it balances out my lack of knowledge of birds it is not that I do not care it just does not stick in my brain what kind of birds they are.
It was nice knowing that my dad worked on the Living Machine. I think he only got permits and had to deal with the government for this project. It was a while ago when he worked for Hole Montes. I guess his career helps me realize how important water is but it is obvious to me being that so many historical events evolve water. For example the Egyptians three most important things in life were the Sun, the Pharaoh, and the Nile River. Water is everywhere even in the River Styx which is in the underworld.
I had been to the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary many years ago and really all I remember was an open field and seeing a deer there. So it was nice to I guess revisit my childhood and see what gaps my memory missed, but a lot of it seemed familiar so I do not know. The overall experience was positive and really I just like the big cypress it kind of looks like time stood still back there and you could experience life how it should be experienced. But really and gratefully we don’t have to experience life like that. I would rather be safe on a board walk than waist high in a swamp full of alligators any day.
