The foliage in Centennial Woods has changed so much since my last visit. The leaves are gone off the trees but are stuck in some of the lower to the ground foliage. There is still some grasses but they are getting ready to wind down for the winter, and they are mostly brown. There isn’t much in terms of decomposition since the leaves haven’t really hit the ground yet, any that have are decomposed. The others are still stuck in woody low ground foliage.
I looked around to try and find any signs of animals but there were no marks or anything to signify this. This is interesting because on my way into my spot in Centennial I saw 4 different squirrels but once I reached my spot I didn’t see anything in way of animals. I have seen animals or signs of animals here before but maybe now that it’s getting colder they are less active.
The aspect of my phenology place I enjoy the most is the stream. The stream is part of the reason I picked it and every time I go in I’m excited to see how the stream and the surrounding areas have changed and developed through the seasons and I can’t wait to see the changes into spring and summer.
