For my phenological exploration this week, I decided to go to the waterfront and walk parallel to the lake. I took a bus from campus to downtown Burlington and started my walk to the right of the ECHO center. I walked for about 20 to 30 minutes, taking in the nature around me. I saw several species of trees, ducks in the lake, and some birds migrating over me. Most of the leaves were gone from the deciduous trees, and it was pretty cold down by the lake. I ended my walk right around sunset, stopping to sit down and watch the beautiful colors change. It was nice to explore somewhere different from my usual spot!
