Today I went to my phenology spot a b it differently than normal. In running club we went on a little 5 miles run around the quarry. It was a muddy one but always love a new experience.
The trees are starting to get their green back especially with the recent rain that we have been having. There is even some small leaves appearing on some trees and the rest have some buds appearing.
The area is surrounded by homes and when I look over the cliff I see trampolines and pools and homes. I always love the walk or run to my spot because the homes are so pretty.
It is cool to see how people have built their homes around this cliff and rocky area. The land seems to be guarded off where the rocks are but any other land is developed on. Though it is a suburb so the nature can still come through. The trees are growing and some areas the brush is overgrown and clearly not touched by any humans. The neighbors however are manicured and have flowers and nicely trimmed bushes.
I think the idea of me being a part of a place is a weird idea. I think that the place is its own and I am simply a person passing through. The trees and the rocks and the plants they are apart of the one place, they have claim and are literally in the ground. I think people and buildings are just simply a thing that is only here for a moment of it. I enjoy the beauty and have spent time and appreciate the land and will always love coming here but I am not apart of it.
