 * Homework assignment Tuesday Aug 23nd Leopold field trip notes -- Excellent -- 97% **

First, I think the exhibit was a wonderful chance to gain the knowledge of birds, wolves and many kinds of animals, from the lecture, I can be able to experience the effort and contribution Mr. Leopold made to the environment and animals.

Second, we sit on the circle stone before the school building, listening to the report about this architecture, at first, I don't understand why there is such a style architecture, but with the introduction, I can gradually understand that the reason for preserving such a place for visitor is giving the imaginary space for everyone who has chance to come here, to think about the source, history and humanity behind specific architecture.

Last but not the least, we have a walkabout along Mississippi river, everyone was looking for the most intriguing scene and try to have a personal touch and close observation, I even saw one eagle flying over the river, the ships on the river, etc. when I was walking on the grassland, we can feel the gentle sunshine and smell the slight fragrance with flowers. It's the perfect experience for me to be one with the nature...

Along the Mississippi river, we can see many houses built there, what I feel comfortable is that the human settlement doesn't affect the nature, instead, these two things integrates naturally. One the nature's side, the old-age trees, flowers, grass, insects and the Mississippi river. On the human civilization side, house, swing, children's slides, garden. I feel that the human settlement and nature has no conflicts at all, it should and can coexist harmoniously.
