Nature Observations

As I stepped out into the blinding sunlight, I found myself to be standing in the middle of my quiet neighborhood. There was a sudden sound of a helicopter gradually coming closer. When I lifted my head I squinted to see a news helicopter fly right on top of me. As it passed over all the houses, ruining the peace, the sound faded away and I was left with silence and nature. The short-lasting silence was ruined when a car roared towards the top of the street. The wind was blowing extremely softly because even the lightest trees were barely moving. The air was cold, yet the sun was shining the entire neighborhood. Again, I heard a helicopter coming near, but this time the sound subsided and I never saw it on top of me. As I took a few steps up my street, I saw two owners with two dogs each walking in opposite directions. As they came closer, there was an unexpected and loud bark from one of the dogs, which scared me. The owners were forced to halt and pull their animals away in order to prevent attacks and chaos. As soon as they passed each other, the one walking in the opposite direction came closer to pass me as well. I shifted a little to the right, hoping that the dog does not suddenly bark at me as well. As the owner came closer, I could hear the sound of loud music coming from his headphones. The dog was peaceful this time. I walked, zoned out, and thoughtless, not realizing that I was standing in front of my grandparents’ house. I opened the gate door and stepped in the front yard. The delicious aroma of food became stronger as I stepped closer to their door. Then, the noise of little children, who I correctly assumed were my cousins, became louder. They all stepped outside, greeted, and welcomed me inside. I gave my temporary farewell to nature and followed them in.
