Viewing Nature Interactively

I don't know whether I was able to fully open my senses to the surroundings around me but I wasn't able to communicate with the nature around me on the Nolan Trail. I noticed most of the trees were still alive and had some leaves still withering away before winter fully hits and knocks all the leaves down. There were countless bushes growing tiny purple berries on them, with thorns on them to keep animals from eating them. However, there were some trees knocked down from natural causes and unnatural like someone chainsawing them down to make room for the path. The water around the trail was some what calm until the slightest bit of wind pushing the water into making some waves. In the end though I felt as though I wasn't fully able to communicate with the nature around me. In the back of my mind I was concentrating on upcoming exams and papers that I had not begun writing or studying for.
