On a chilly but sunny Sunday morning, I ventured down to Centennial Woods with my friend Rayna. We walked to my spot, sat on the boardwalk, and took in the site. We sat in silence for awhile, just taking in the sunlight and the chirping of the birds – we spotted a blue jay! After a loud weekend, I enjoyed the silence and the peace. I sat there and sketched a bird’s eye view of my site and took time to appreciate just how many living things there were just in my little spot in the middle of the woods. After about fifteen minutes, we stood up and left the woods, both feeling pleasantly refreshed.

Since last coming to my spot, the leaves have left and all of the shrubs and trees look a little dead. However, the little stream seems to have come alive in the last couple leaves. There was a lot more water in the stream and it seemed to be running faster. The ground was covered in leaves and most of the trees were completely bare. Here are some updated pictures!
