Hello from a rainy Saturday morning here at Centennial Woods and the last blog post for this project! My friend Rayna and I set out on our walk at about 11:30am in the light rain and about 53 degree temp. It has been so lovely watching my site change over the past year and see how it survived the winter and is now in bloom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spotted this lil slug on our way through Centennial! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main feature of my site is the stream, and it has gone through many periods of change. When I first visited, it was a slow trickle that was surrounded by so much greenery. I watched it freeze over during the winter, and now it’s back and moving fast but with a good amount of muddy erosion on the sides of it. You can also see in the above photo that the bush is in bloom! It is a stark contrast from the sticks it was a few months ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am always able to find my spot based off this tree that makes the boardwalk shift! It is not a hard spot to find but I think of this tree as a landmark of my spot. I also always look for the bend in the stream and all the rocks that jut out of it. Culture and nature intertwine here when people visit. Nature means something different to everyone and people feel all different things when they stand out here. I do consider myself part of my place. My NR1060 class talked a lot about how we are a part of nature this semester, and it has realigned my thinking. I am just another living thing among so many others at my site, so I like to think I am a part of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been such a joy to watch my spot grow and change the past nine months. I am thinking back and reflecting on how much I have learned since I first laid eyes on my spot and I feel so much more knowledgable on how to spot changes. Rayna and I had such a peaceful walk in the rain today and it was the perfect send off to our spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is one last amazing sketch of my spot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
