Mi casa ideal es muy similar a la casa de mi familia. Mi casa ahora está en el norte de Ohio. Mi casa tiene un jardín trasero muy grande con un bosque. Siempre hay algunos venados en el jardín. Mi casa es gr […]

I love your discussion on the permissions afforded to man by nature–that we may name them, but that this act and all others should be taken with respect. I also enjoy your description of the flighty chipmunks […]

I find your insight about the farmed fields making you feel insignificant really intriguing, and I agree that there are parts of nature (and cultivated nature) that make us question our worth or individuality. […]

I liked how you used so much language, especially in the first paragraph, that is centered in human activities

Maybe it’s an evolutionary callback to a long-unneeded instinct, but the cover of trees always feels like a form of sanctuary. Though the reek of manure pervades the entrance to the forest, the worn wooden path q […]

The imagery in this piece is lovely! I really enjoy how you captured the swan’s grace with your words. It leaves me wanting more. How long have you been watching this swan and did you eventually get to sketch her? […]

I finally find a spot I deem to be worth spending more than a second at. I sit down on my heels and just watch the forest. I’m far enough away that I can barely hear my classmates and can no longer smell the […]

Never before had I stood among so many beeches at once, at least not that I can recall. Many of them bore weathered scars inflicted by arrogant lovers, but still stood sturdy, smooth, and tall. They cast a mottled […]

We drove past the farmlands in Wooster in Ohio. I could not help, but think of my insignificance in the vast, rural landscape. I could easily lose myself in the lush maize fields and among the dairy cows and […]

To my surprise, there was a substantial difference between the idea I had of what Johnson’s woods would be and what I discovered it to be. On the other hand, the seeming infinite spread of corn fields on the bus r […]

When we first arrived at Johnson’s woods, I was not immediately impressed. I grew up surrounded by trees and wildlife, and have gone on many hikes in nature preserves through the Midwestern area, so seeing more w […]

As I walked through the woods, my first goal was to take pictures of things I found intriguing or beautiful. I wanted to capture a spot, a phenomena that spoke to me, one that I would remember. Most of the woods […]

After walking down the boardwalk for a while I wanted to find a bench that I could sit on and just enjoy the woods for a moment. I found a bench and sat on it and just as I was about to write about the things […]

If you are of the mind that once nature has been touched by human influence, in any way, to any extent, that it is no longer nature, then perhaps there is no more magic in the wood. As soon as the marsh is roped […]

While walking along the path at Johnson’s Woods I was struck not only by the constant presence of a wide variety of insects, but by how many chipmunks were running from tree to tree and beneath the boardwalk. As I […]

Hi! I love that you used scent as well as sight. It created a vivid image in my head. The metaphor of the woods as the ocean was very well thought out and was really beautiful. I also really liked that you created […]

I was meandering along the path of Johnson’s Woods examining the jade leaves that climbed the moss covered logs scattered on the forest floor when suddenly I was jolted out of my reverie by bold words scraped i […]

Moseying along through Johnson’s Woods I especially took the time to stop, pause, and glance around me slowly when I came across a sign. Since being taught from a young age that reading the signs is half the […]

Wayne County Ohio is wearing farmer’s perfume. It smells of the manure that is thinly spread across the corn and soybean fields. The stench encroaches the edge of Johnson’s woods, a wooden space that is an ano […]
