Communication
For my communication project I took photos of various structures to discuss how architexture communicates different messages to those around it. I will display those photos here.

For my relationships project I participated in the City Nature Challenge for iNaturalist and wrote a journal before and after each walk to doccument. This project was to reflect on my relationship with nature and my community. I will include my diary entries here along with a few of my best observations.

There is a competition called "City Nature Challenge" through iNaturalist today and tomorrow. For my create project I will be writing a journal before and after going on walks to doccument different species for iNaturalist. Currently I am feeling a bit anxious. I can feel the anxiety in my chest. I will see how going on a walk and engaging with nature affects this.

I have just returned from my walk. I am feeling a lot better than earlier. My relationship to nature is a healing one. I made 19 observations, landing me in 4th for the Niagara Falls participants currently. I observed many things from worms and slugs to plants and birds. People have already started verifying my observations. One person who has repeatedly verified my observations since I started iNaturalist is Mike Werner. He is one of the most active people on iNaturalist, having 7806 observations and 140131 IDs to date. He is also in Ontario! All in all I feel more connected and refreshed after my walk. This also brought me to 200 observations!

I am yet again about to set out to log observations for the iNaturalist competition. I am feeling vaguely antsy but overall okay. It should be easier today as it is not raining. My father will be joining me on my walk.

Done! Got a few more observations but less than yesterday. My father helped me identify some stuff I would've otherwise missed, such as wild carrots and onions! I also helped a mother briefly to get her child's tricycle while she tried to call her other child who had ran off. iNaturalist helps to strengthen relationships in many forms.

For my emotions project I talked on games as a conversation to express emotion. I will insert one of the short games I played below for you to play :D!
For my activism project I focused on protest songs that I enjoy. I will leave a few below along with an image I made to go along with one.
For my transformation project I decided to attempt to grow forget-me-nots as they are my favourite flower and I felt the transformation of a growing plant fit the theme of this create. I planted both some wood forget-me-nots from my backyard and regular forget-me-not seeds. The images below will show my proces in growing the forget-me-nots along with a little visitor we had and some forget-me-nots I picked from a nearby walking trail to show the scale difference of the wood forget-me-nots I transplanted.
