I visited to Werribee creek, where I spent an hour in the nature. I noticed the smell of eucalypts in the air, the fresh breeze off the water, singing and dancing of birds, trees, water and grass.

Analytical Response The tree is an elephant.

During my experience, this photo meant an elephant to me because he has drunk some water from the pool and is sprinkling some water on his body with his trunk. After exploring Parallaxis website in week one's reading, I also came to know how we use our imaginations to create new stories.

Bush looks like An echidna

Here I would like to explain that how this artefact looks an echidna to me because of its brown color and white or cream spines.

Water colour is same but looks different with reflection.

As I am standing on the one side of the creek, I notice that how the same water looks different because of sun light and reflection, which reminds me The Mutton bird dance video in week one, session three, where the special light was used to show particular parts of the dancers at particular times.

Ants are marching

I see these ants march on the tree, they are going in the queue to the other side of the tree, this photo reminds me about The Monkey business illusion video of this unit.

Birds are playing

This video is an example of dramatic play of birds. Birds are singing, sailing flying, dancing and chasing to each other. This video reminds me about lake Cowal Bird dance. In this video, I can see birds are dancing and going up and down then again go to the top of tree. Moreover, this video, tells me that how we can enjoy the nature like birds, and how we sing, dance and play in the nature.

Ants are going in and out of their houses

This Artefact reminds me about my childhood memories, I used to see so many ants around my mud brick house and I used to give them grains around their houses and those small ants were strong enough to carry those big pieces of the grains. This photo shows that how small ant makes his or her hole (house).

When I went to the creek, I used my all senses to enjoy the nature. The nature took me in my childhood, where I played imaginary games in that environment. I was feeling so light and fresh in the nature. I did dance with the trees and also enjoyed the music made by water and trees. When I was looking at the running singing water, it reminded me about Song from week one "Wala is life". I also noticed some dramas there such as bird were singing and flying. When I was sitting in the nature, I was thinking about the aboriginal people and their respect for the nature, which is shown in video and reading on 'Dadirri'.
