Transcendentalist Journal #2
Transcendentalist Journal #2
Today when I went outside it was sunny. The fact that it was sunny was contrasted by that fact that it was also snowing. The rate at which it was snowing wasn't very hard to start with, and it became lighter and lighter until the snow eventually stopped falling. It was colder today than it was yesterday. It was also very windy, so the snow swirled around and all over the place as it fell. There wasn't many clouds overhead, but the ones that were there were fairly dark. Were there wasn't any clouds, the sky was a solid, brilliant blue. The branches of the trees were bare, and the ground was covered in more moss and acorns than grass. I could hear the branches of the trees sway in the wind. I could also hear the leaves on the ground be lifted up and begin to swirl around.
The fact that it was sunny outside while it was also snowing struck me as very odd. I have seen the sky raining while being sunny, but I have never seen it be sunny while snowing. It left me in a state of wonder.
Nature can bring new surprises into one's life. It allows one to experience something that they may have never experienced before.

Interesting snow theme you have going-- while your experiences are somewhat similar, you do a good job of differentiating between them with your description and reflection.
