As I was making my way to my location in Centennial Woods, I was walking on a sheet of ice over frozen mud. This level of ice is newly frozen from rain just the past day, and made a slippery walking surface. There is a small amount of green on the ground in the holes of the snow with a few wilted ferns supplying nourishment for the foragers in the winter. Unfortunately due to the rain and overnight freezing, there were no tracks or prints that I could distinguish near my sit spot. The lack of leaves on the hardwoods makes the Eastern White Pines and the Hemlocks stand out and make themselves very present. This has made the trees easier to see through, and now I can clearly make out the shape of the stream carving through the marsh below.
