Dec. 8 – Snowy Woods

Today, there was a lot of snow in Centennial Woods. The area looks very different from the last time I visited in Fall. Now, the forest is covered in a white blanket with many footprints leading the way. The only animals that I could detect in the area were birds chirping, dog prints, squirrel prints, and potential hare prints.

The trees that still had leaves were the Eastern White Pines, and the rest of the trees were bare. Underneath the snow, I assume some leaves are in the process of decomposing. I don’t have any fruit-bearing trees in my spot, and if I do, then they don’t have any.

Final comment: The aspect I enjoyed the most at my Phenology Spot was the feeling of being away from urbanization. Yes, I can still hear the interstate, but when I look around, I can only see trees and ferns. Since this place is very relaxing and quiet, I can escape here, and my thoughts can wander.
