On Friday when I saw it was snowing I decided to walk around the lake on my way back to my dorm.\u00a0 When I got to the opposite side of the lake from Lakeview I decided to sit on a bench that is located right on the edge of the lake off on the path.\u00a0 This is a place on campus that I have sat a lot over the last year and a half but I had never sat by the lake in the winter, much less when it was snowing.\u00a0 I noticed how quiet the lake was that day.\u00a0 The surface was beginning to freeze over in parts and the ducks and geese were nowhere to be found when looking at the lake.\u00a0 After a while I noticed a group of 4 or 5 ducks huddled up under some bushes sleeping or trying to stay warm and dry.\u00a0 I also noticed that the trees were finally completely bare.\u00a0 I noticed that in the fall many trees changed colors but not of the leaves would actually fall off.<\/p>\n
