Although we are now approaching winter, the weather has been incredibly warm for the past few days. When I visited Lone Rock Point yesterday, it was almost 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This is quite a change from the cold temperatures and snow that we just received on Monday night. This goes to show the wide fluctuation in weather events that can occur during this transition month.
In addition to changes in the weather, there have also been changes in the landscape. When I last visited my site, the leaves on the deciduous trees were mostly intact. This was not the case yesterday. Most of the leaves had fallen off the deciduous trees, and I observed a multitude of them on the forest floor. I also noticed that many of leaves on the common buckthorn bushes were no longer present; however, there were still some green leaves on these bushes which gave my site a feeling of vitality.
Since the experiences that one has with a place are so important, I have attached an event map so that you can vicariously interpret my time at Lone Rock Point.
To help you experience the sounds of Lone Rock Point, I have included a video of the view from my spot.
To me, pictures are worth a thousand words. I have added a new gallery of photos so that you can experience the changes that this magical location has undergone in the last two weeks.
