I was able to explore most of Centennial woods on a very nice walk. I saw a bunch of wildlife and a number of different species of plants, animals and fungi. I took a bunch of pictures but these two are my favorites. One is a Dark Paper Wasp which is very common in Vermont, …

Final Post Semester 2
In terms of change, outside of weathering and the occasional animal my site has changed very little. The trees are fairly similar, there have been no major trees falling, no large shifts in land or water. The biggest changes have been the phenological changes. Things like leaves falling to the ground as fall and winter …
Revisiting the Tree #2
This time that I revisited the tree there was a lot more green showing from the actual leave poking out, you could very easily tell that it would be blooming into actual leaves soon enough. I think that within the next 2 or so weeks that this will be fully bloomed, as long as the …
Revisit to Tree #1
This is from the first time I revisited the Red maple that I went to the first trip to this tree. The main differences is that the buds were no longer fully closed and that there was some green starting to show through the red coverings of the bud. I saw a few small birds …

Final Post Semester 1
How has my spot changed, quite a lot actually from my first sit there. The leaves changed and fell, the ground cover went from green to brown and dead. My spot used to be very green and lush but now, in the later months of the fall and early months of winter it has become …
Second Sit Spot
My second sit spot is beneath a giant pair of twin oak trees along an old stone wall. It is actually in a mature oak stand with lots of huge old oaks along the area. you can also see into the fields surrounding which makes for some very pretty views. Here’s on of a sunset …
Second Sit
My second sit took place on November 5th. The air had gotten cooler and the day I sat was windy. It wasn’t necessarily cold but it was cooler than the last time I was there. Some of the changes that I noticed were less leaves on the trees. The past week as been fairly windy …
