Wooo second entry time!
It was a beautiful day when I decided to spend my 15 minutes at my spot in Centennial Woods (though a little too warm for November…). I sat right under the yellow birch tree – pictured below – and just enjoyed the sight of the colorful fall leaves, the smell of the forest, and the sound of nature.
After just enjoying the peacefulness, I drew a little map of my area, with the birch tree at the center of course. Each shape represents a different tree type, at least those I could identify from the species we learned in class.
To finish off this post, I will discuss some changes that I noticed since visiting my spot in mid-October. First, I noticed that many of the deciduous trees are almost bare or already completely bare. Because of this, there are plenty of leaves on the ground, which were present during my first visit except they are now more brown in color versus a brighter red-orange. It’s also much easier to see through the trees now, but the conifers are still going strong with their green needles.
