Observing human interactions in nature

So today in english we went outside our class and into the redwood forest. We went next to the football field that has some disc golf baskets and our class would interact with nature while playing and making it seem like we were in a regular scene.

Place #1:
Three leaves of luck in a forest of trees. Reaching ivy climbs up a tree, expanding its arms and reching around the trunk. Struggling kids try to gracefully toss a small disc into the chains. As a tractor rolls by the change in the air is evident with the smog coming out of the pipes. The noise distractions the quiet breeze making the human interactions more evident.

Place #2:
Distractions take away from the scenery. Concrete takes the place of warn paths. Remanents of te living are evident.  As the disc is tossed back an forth, we dont realize that the grass is growing and flowers are blooming. It is hard to see these things because they are so small an insignifacant yet they are still there, unnoticed by the human eye.
