In this picture I see the Lily Branch stream tucked in next to River Rd and the East Campus Dining Hall. The first thing I noticed about this was how the stream is sunken into the ground and tucked away; I had never noticed it until I took this picture and did the scavenger hunt. This picture makes me think about how out-of-sight the streams actually are, even if they’re daylighting. It surprised me how ignored and hidden the stream is. When I see this picture I feel the beauty of the land and stream, but I also feel the neglect of the stream because it is “out of sight, out of mind.” I think this picture is about noticing the world around us and attempting to protect and recognize nature.
