Since my last visit to Centennial, there has been a melting and re-freezing of the snow on the path, making for a particularly slippery (and unsafe if ill prepared) walk to my chosen phenology spot. However slick it was, it was still beautiful and peaceful.
At my chosen spot, there were surrounding sugar maples, small birch trees, and eastern white pines. However, since loosing their leaves it becomes more difficult to differentiate hardwoods.
In the stream, the water has become more clear and I was even able to spot a small deposit of clay that lay at the bottom of the stream.
