Time: 7:12 pm
Temperature: 54*f
Weather: slightly over cast
wind conditions: there is a slight breeze.

My area is in Buffalo Valley road, Moran Wyoming (basically my yard). There is a lot of biodiversity in my area, deer, moose, elk, beaver, ducks, osprey, etc. The river that runs through here is called the Buffalo river. I assume the animals use this river as a main water ground. There is also a lot of room for them to roam around in. Also in this area there is a variety of plants. There's willows, Aspen , sage brush and pine trees. Some of the plant life here are little yellow and purple flowers (i am not sure what they are called though). The soil close to the river is very moist. And the farther that you go from the river the dryer that the soil gets. There is still about... 1/2 a foot of snow or maybe just a little bit more then that, but not all of the snow is gone. I predict that within the next few days it will all be gone. In some places the grass is starting to sprout out of the ground. The trees are also trying to turn green.
