Not Just Observing But Being Observed

Observing may sound like an easy task, but it takes time, focus, and patience. Over the last several weeks I’ve discovered plenty. I’ve learned about the different forms of life that the Marina holds. Although, I have not yet been discovered myself. By that I mean that I have in a way, invaded some of the life forms habitat. Also known as their home. I’ve been studying them, taking notes, taking pictures, and picking at some of their surroundings. Earlier this week, I realized that as I observe the Marina, I just might be being observed myself. As I continue to go to the Marina, I must be catching the attention of the some of the life forms there. I am always around the ducks. , I always get as close as possible to see the detail on their feathers. I have started to feed them bread. They seem to like it. I hope that I haven’t created unpleasant company. They stare at me as if I’m some sort of alien. When I am around them they are always so peaceful and they keep to themselves. I wonder if I start to interact more with the ducks they’ll grow a liking to me. Or maybe they’ll start to recognize me each time I approach them. I am excited to try and create a relationship with them. Do they interact more once they are comfortable? Will I be able to gain their trust? As I observe,they will be observing me and watching me. I will be judged by the ducks.

  1. I like how you are observing the Marina because even though I go there once in a while I don't notice the little details of nature. I think that if you keep interacting with the ducks, sooner or later they will recognize you and be comfortable around you.

  2. Your personification of these ducks is very clever. I think I would become paranoid to be stared down by all these ducks. You also have a very good word choice. Keep it up!
