As stated in my previous blog post, I have not been in Burlington, but I have been able to return to my spot from Thanksgiving. This spot is on the bank of a stream and is largely composed of Red Oaks that are starting to leaf, but the leaves are nowhere close to being full. The biggest change from last time I was here is the emergence of ground plants. There are mostly two plants and I know neither of them. One is a longer leaf that grows near the banks of the stream and the other is what I have decided to describe as a cabbage looking thing even though it looks nothing like cabbage. It has very big and broad leaves. The field that looked very downtrodden in November is now full of the cabbage plants. There was also a duck swimming when I was there. It is hard to describe how my relationship to this place has changed as it is both a place I have known for most of my life and a place that I really have not put too much thought into throughout my life. It seems very familiar yet there are so many things that I just have not noticed before. The two plant I described earlier are ones I have never really noticed before, they just blended into the surroundings. In many ways, that is what a large majority of the nature in this park is. It is a public park where people go to take their dogs on a walk or kids to the playground. There happens to be a brook and a woodsy area, but that is just a background to 99% of people. Just a setting to enjoy a sunny day. This is not bad, it is just interesting how much is going on that people do not pay attention to and that I also usually do not pay attention to. I do not know if I would describe myself as part of my place. I know that humanity is a large part of this spot, but I am unsure if I specifically am a part of it. I know I have affected it, but I also know that the majority of the life in that spot would not be meaningfully different if I had never been there or if I went there every day. I do feel quite connected to this area as it is a place I have been to a lot in my life, but I have always thought of myself as separate from it and I do not think that perspective has changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
