I found it very interesting to go to my site once it snowed – I was very used to the vibrant green trees and lively bike path, but now that it is cold, it is quite dull. Most of the trees in my area are deciduous with a few pines here and there. I saw some Canadian geese on the shore, but other than that it was very quiet – literally. I remember going to my site earlier in the year and I could hear a dozen bird sounds, squirrels climbing the trees, and the stream flowing. I did not see any tracks in the snow; this natural area is very closely surrounded by developed homes, so I wasn’t expecting to see anything crazy. It was nice to see my spot one last time before winter break and I am excited to see it once I get back.
