When I went to Centennial this past weekend, I wasn’t expecting to notice a large change in my tree’s appearance. That turned out to be mostly accurate; the branches themselves hadn’t changed or grown substantially, and the only true difference seemed to be a few more buds growing on each branch.
However, as I began to go further into the woods, it was clear that the overall ecology of the land had started to change. The majority of the snow had melted, revealing saplings, grasses, and woody debris. Although my Red Maple hadn’t significantly changed, it was clear to see that Spring is already upon us.
