When I visited my phenology site at Centennial brook this week I notice life returned since the last winter visits. The grass is slowly greening, but sadly no wildfires were in the vicinity of the brook. The shores and edges of the brook are mainly covered in leaf litter that is not allowing the flowers to break through as seen in the pictures below. The trees showed similar disappointing, but hopeful signs for spring fully arriving. The buds of the many maples are greening and growing slightly while the red maples are gaining a more red color. However, none were observed to be fully flowering yet.
