While sitting in my Phenology Place, I noticed many things about my surrounding environment. First of all, it was very quiet. I could barely hear the brook; it was flowing so quietly. There were no bird calls as there were last time I visited. I heard the wind rustling in the tall shrubs and grasses, and I everything seemed very still. I noticed that my area seemed less alive than it had last time.
I noticed a lot of changes to my location. The limited trees in my area had all lost their leaves, except for the Norway Maple, where a few leaves were still hanging on. The tall grasses were wilting slightly, and the shrubs were more woody than leafy. I was observing brown more than any other color when I looked around my area. The water level in the book seemed to have decreased, and I could only really hear the water flowing if I was standing right next to it. This is very different than last time I visited, where I could hear the brook from pretty far away. Lastly, the ground was covered in lots of dead leaves from the trees. When visiting my Phenology location, it was very evident that the seasons were changing.
